Artist Ramesh Jhawar in my hometown

Met the wonderful and humble watercolour artist Ramesh Jhawar and his lovely family at my hometown. His watercolour works are a treat to look in person. Strong composition, convincing light and of course the drama with colours!!! Inspired :)

"Travel Sketching Talk" National Museum of Singapore Sketchwalk


Wanted to capture the architectural beauty of National Museum of Singapore during our sketchwalk but in vain, I think the reason may be my short of experience in using watercolors and switching between mediums! Should I choose oil paints for I'm more confident in that medium?

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.

Studies




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!!

Watercolour monochromatic study

A study in monochrome helps to concentrate more on tonal relationships, this study is done from life. I'm trying to get the basics and nuances of the watercolour medium better when using a single colour as opposed to a set of colours.
