TAMPISAW is a Hiligaynon word which means “to frolic” or “playfully wade in the water” which aptly describes this 3-day workshop on Watercolor Painting is open to all watercolor enthusiasts. The first 2 days will be the workshop proper  and an open forum. The last day will be dedicated to plein air or open air painting together with invited veteran artists of Negros.
