Yesterday I was sketching at Kampong and met watercolour artist Mr Seah. It was too kind of him to take a look at my sketches, very encouraging.

USK 10X10 + ASEAN 50 + We Draw ASEAN Together

Opening of "USK 10X10 + ASEAN 50 + We Draw ASEAN Together" exhibition at GCV Temasek Polytechnic yesterday, many thanks for the entire team. I'm glad that two of my sketches were selected to be a part of the exhibition.
Exhibition runs till July 8.

Later in the afternoon, I attended artist Ch'ng Kiah Kiean's "Sketching with Ink  and twig" workshop, it was very interesting to make our own sketching tools and KK guided us with his 2 wonderful demos during outdoor sketching.

Looking forward for the ASEAN sketchwalk!!

"Go Green"

These group of latest paintings are inspired by the theme "Go Green", I've tried to capture the light on landscapes true to Singapore. The paintings are done with a limited palette of three  primaries plus white. I used either warm/cool version of each.

These with other recent paintings are now on display in  Sengkang Public Library, Singapore till 30th September 2013.Welcome all!

A scene like this is usual in Sengkang waterway, people alone or in groups fishing along the banks, though now it's no more allowed. Some find fishing as a lovely hobby on a hot summer day.

This is another painting showing a typical kampong house in Buangkok. This is the last surviving kampong in mainland Singapore, situated besides the Sungei Punggol. The kampong houses are a surprise amidst the urban high rise buidings. Wooden houses with metal roofs, rugged paths, overhead power lines, fences and many others are some rare sights which can only be seen in the kampong.
