Paint Date: Diving Into Watercolor x A Day To Dream in Milky and Sunny

I met Jade of A Day To Dream last October in Heima Brixton's Paper Stories bazaar. Amidst Arlene Sy's watercolor demo, Jade and I somehow managed to chat and introduce ourselves to each other. Since I'm such a hermit and introvert,  I'm really glad whenever I get to meet and befriend new people, especially those who are also into artsy stuff. 

We finally had our paint date last Sunday in Milky and Sunny in Kapitolyo, Pasig. Milky and Sunny is a hole-in-the-wall restaurant that serves breakfast all day. Think pancakes, french toasts, silogs, and the whole enchilada (they actually serve breakfast enchiladas).

My wall peg.

My failed attempt at taking a decent photo of my food.
Forgot to include my milkshake. Tehee.

Just take my word for it, the pancakes were visually appealing and delicious to boot. One of my glaring flaws as a wannabe blogger is that I don't take enough photos. Maybe it's because my camera is crappy or I simply forget to take them. Is it because I'm not used to the pics-or-it-didn't-happen "rule" of the Internet? 

Anyhoo, Jade and I covered a looot of topics (mostly about watercolor, workshops, and our fangirling moments), and I learned a lot about her, her lovely art, and the magic of the nibs. Hahaha.

We also got to paint together. Yay for my first time painting in a public place! It's nice to paint side by side with someone who wouldn't mind if you're talkative one moment and quietly painting the next. Here is my quick and random portrait sketch:

Meanwhile, Jade painted a floral wreath (Forgot to take a photo again!) and this lettering:

And here is our collaborative effort at making art:

I'm thrilled that I finally had an afternoon out with a friend who loves to eat and paint like me. I would love to do it again, and I urge my fellow hermits to occasionally leave our comfort zones and just be out there. For starters, you can also visit Milky and Sunny in Pasig or Makati. Aside from the cozy ambiance, quaint decor, and yummy food, the crew is also super nice and accommodating. I will definitely come back for another paint date or simply to enjoy eating breakfast anytime that I want.

I would love to hear about your mini adventures!
