Sketchwalk cum opening of Punggol Town Square

A well spent Sunday morning with Sketchwalk cum opening of Punggol Town Square, two of my sketches shown in our Urban sketchers special exhibition. Our sketches are open for viewing this week.

 My sketch enlaaaarged.....

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 :)
