Charcoal Sketches

Quick sketch

When I am waiting for my son's school bus, saw an elderly lady coming in her car with lots of milk cans, started to water the plants in the neighborhood, surprised and happy to see this act of good deed and tried to capture her quickly in my sketch!

Bedok Reservoir Sketchwalk

This is the sketch I did in charcoal at the Bedok Reservoir Sketchwalk with Urban Sketchers Singapore on saturday.

Plein Air Jalan Kayu

Plein air oil painting of "Church of The Epiphany" in Jalan Kayu along Tampines Expressway. Many construction works are going on nearby, quite unsure of this very old architecture.

Sketched this nostalgic back alley in Jalan Kayu with spiral staircase, plants growing on them, air vents in houses.....on the left is a tree thriving on a large stone wall. It started raining while sketching, added colors at home later.

Kampong Buangkok plein Air

On location paintings in Oil done on 5th Jan 2014 in Kampong Buangkok, the last surviving kampong in mainland Singapore. Thinking of submitting these for "A Changed World" exhibition to be held in National Museum of Singapore.

Jalan Kayu Painting

Did this one today at Jalan Kayu, an old two storey house tucked in between other newly renovated houses, with interesting antique lamps, cracks on the walls and fresh colorful blossoms in balcony, I see this as a tie between past and present.

Monochrome, 9" X 12", Oil on canvas

The second is a watercolor sketch of an old building with unique shaped balconies, interesting sun-shade windows, some plants growing on the cracks and this building stands in the heart of Jalan  Kayu with busy shops nearby.

Sketchwalk with Urban Sketchers Singapore

In Punggol Waterway, started with the intention of making loose, blending painterly washes but ended up with (two) too tight studies........ very happy to attend the sketchwalk this time nearby my place (Sengkang)....met many sketchers and enjoyed their lovely sketches!!

Sketch

Saw this man near the waterway today morning, he is exercising with a heavy weight wooden ring, first started to swing around his waist and then towards upper body. The ring was very long, he would have done this around 100+ times before going near the water to yell a loud "o" and the sound was so big and vibrating.
