SINGAPORE SERIES
My
post on Da.U.De Tea Lounge has inspired me to do a post on
Arteastiq, a Tea Lounge in Singapore where you can mix Social Painting with Sipping Tea.
Sofia and I signed up for it one one of the weekends where we had nothing planned after we got back from Brazil (October 2011). Arteastiq is located in Mandarin Gallery so I just called them before we left our flat and we just walked from where we lived. When I called, the person I talked to was nice enough to accommodate us because we only needed one slot, but I remember that when we arrived, they sort of had to squeeze us in because we were not in the official booking list.
We signed up for 1 session which includes a 50cm x 50cm canvass, free flowing paint, a set of brushes, and 1
Arteastiq Beverage for SG$48 (Php 1,600).
|
This is the Art Jamming area of Arteastiq. I just realized, I have totally no photos of the Tea Lounge section. |
|
Where Social Painting meets Social Sipping. |
|
Excited to start painting with our set of brushes. |
|
If you have no idea what to paint, they have a lot of binders
where you can get inspiration.
Sofia wanted to do a cupcake but I wanted to do it Andy Warhol, Maling Style. |
|
We meaning me first made a sketch. |
|
Then Sofia started painting in the background. |
|
She just turned four when we did this,
but her concentration was intense. |
|
Sofia was standing on a stool,
the nanny had to hold her and the palette. |
|
She did a lot of painting. |
|
Even when she was very sleepy na. |
|
Tandem painting.
You can see the tea lounge in the background. |
|
I love the palette because it's actually a pad of paper,
so once you're done, you just throw it away. |
|
I did all the details. |
|
But Sofia signed the painting.
That's my order of fruit tea by the stool. I think I found it a bit bland. |
|
Proud artist. |
|
With our work of art. |
|
Our version of Modern Art. |
|
Maling x Andy Warhol x Cupcakes |
|
They ask you to pose with their sign for their album. |
|
With both of us. |
I've always wanted to book another session, especially since they have different promotions for their art jam sessions. I think couples get 2 canvases (and drinks) for the price of one every Monday. I was tempted to drag Tim with us, but we never found the time before we moved back.
