Morning walk and sketch

School holidays and I'm going walks with my kids around waterway......saw a couple of  monitor lizards, Kingfishers and everyday I'm sketching 360 degree views from the same shady spot under the bridge....can't go too far with kids and can't spend more than 1 hour in sketch.....I find this an opportunity to learn sketching as many possible scenes around the same place. There is always room for improvement!

Yesterday....

Sengkang Floating Wetland, Gouache sketch

Today's morning walk & study.........Sengkang floating wetland, Gouache.

SG Heart Map Sketchwalk - Changi Airport

Sitting at level 1, we're looking down the Arrival Hall at basement and up the high roof diffusing natural daylight, to my left is a huge vertical garden stretching all the way up to the ceiling ..........at Changi Airport Terminal 3, "The Green Terminal".

Ritu's Sketch of the day,

Punggol Waterway sketch

Study

Some recent charcoal study from pictures.....on how to render convincing form and depth using values......South Bridge road and a temple......suggestions welcome!

Changi Beach

Quick sketch at Changi Beach.

Waiting - Sengkang LRT

People waiting for trains in Sengkang LRT station......when sketching people especially, we tend to deeply connect with that present moment about what they are doing around, where are they rushing to or how important is human relationship.....

" SG Heart Map sketchwalk" at Singapore Botanic Gardens

A brisk and fun filled sketchwalk for SG Heart Map at Singapore Botanic Gardens, UNESCO World Heritage site..... lovely stamps!!

Waterway Watch Society - Sketch

Saw this little colorful cabin of "Waterway Watch Society" under the bridge near Punggol waterplay area, couldn't help but do a gouache sketch instead of my usual monochromes.

We usually cycle there on weekends, kids would love to play in the huge sand box and then in water. I did the sketch when we were there on National Day. It was an overcast day. This cabin is to help public when the waterway is opened for water activities like kayaking, it is closed for now.

"Let's Draw Singapore" Book launch

Privileged to be a part of the "Let's Draw Singapore" a book relay project by Urbansketchers James, Lisa and Don. 61 contributors shared memories of their neighborhoods in the form of sketches, 3 sketch diaries traveled throughout Singapore and compiled together as one great souvenir.......the book launch was held on Saturday at URA centre. I was glad to be there, the sketch and story set up of each contributor was great!

The exhibition runs till 31st August from 9am - 5pm, do drop by to see Singapore through our sketches!!

Places where the books traveled!

My contribution: Uncle Lim's shop near Tongkang LRT
