February Sketchwalk

My sketch of Sri Sivan Temple, Geylang East Avenue 2 for the February Sketchwalk with Urban Sketchers Singapore...............Charcoal on paper.

I had to rush home, so couldn't wait for the "Show and tell session" but met fellow sketchers near the temple, hope there are more sketches of the temple. This is my first time visit to this temple, the architecture is a mix of North and South Indian styles, very interesting to sketch the intricacies.

Kids Art @myartsandcreatives 2014 - Palm and Beach

This is the second lesson in the tree series, when learning to paint a palm kids also learnt to do a beach landscape. I have to constantly remind them retain the happy accidents in the sky and water to interpret as clouds and waves, otherwise they would be keen to make their art "clean" with another stroke of paint over!

Charcoal sketch of Temple

Sketch of Arulmigu Velmurugan Gnanamuneeswarar Temple, Sengkang East........Charcoal on paper. We go there often and the sounds and smell of the place make my mind relaxed and peaceful. This is the front view, may be I should go again to sketch a different view. I now feel, I could have done the "Gopuram"(the monumental tower above the entrance) better.

Watercolour is a very good medium to work out the soft feathery effects, we explored this in our flamingo, Cranes and Roosters!
