Last Judge is Architect Cesar Aljambra, he is from United Architect of the Philippines.

I'm with my co-blogger Rich Raymond Bautista, during the event. We arrived early and the registration for the contestants are on-going. So we decided to have a break and do some window shopping at SM San Lazarro. After that we go back to the event center and then contestants are now sketching their canvass. Here are some of the photos we gathered.



The emcee announced that the contestants can now start to give some life to their sketches using Boysen Philippines Paints. They are known to have a wide variety of colors. Boysen has also proven itself as the industry leader in product innovation with its constant development of new products to suit specific market needs, especially in environmentally friendly paints.


While the contestants are busy painting their art works, speakers do share some of their learning to the audience.



After hours of hard-works the final judgement comes. Here are some of the Murals from the contestants and a list of the winners.










Congratulations to all of the winners especially to Bulacan State University
Manila Art Sesh paintings are still up I think until July 28, 2017. So grab a chance to see all beautiful paintings.
