View from my Kitchen window. I've done the same view before in charcoal, details in the link below:

Reason for sketching this again in Gouache is, the construction materials have arrived in the nearby vacant land and I'm pretty sure this view will be gone forever. I have planned to sketch the progress in construction stages from the same view, it may take 2-3 years, but I'll try to document the slow changes as seen through my window. Let's see how it goes!!

August Sketchwalk- Niven Road

August sketchwalk at Niven road....A4, Gouache on Arches watercolour paper. My first sketchwalk was three years before, August 2013 at Bukit Timah Railway station :)

Portrait Commission

I did a portrait painting for Indhu recently, she wanted a 11' X 16" portrait of her mother.....after doing a tonal charcoal study and a colour study, I started the final draft. She is very happy about the outcome, I too felt satisfied that I didn't copy the photo as such, I tried to interpret the colours differently. I didn't want to loose the continuation, so completed in 2 episodes of 2 1/2 hours the same day.
Thank you Indhu for giving me this opportunity, somehow the finishing stages felt divine :)

Inside a friend's book

I recently bought my sketcher friend Fish Wu's book, purely a visual treat.......it's amazing that he just uses a pen and paper to create a true work of art, abstracting beauty from chaos. My works are mere copies of the scene, still learning.........

some of my favorites,
