This is a cafe near the Sculpture Square at Middle Road, these wooden boxes outside the cafe caught my eyes…they grow all kinds of herbs there…

This is the David Elias building at the junction of short street and middle road. It was built in 1928, repainted in 2002! Read more here.

This is the Presbyterian Church on Prinsep Street near LaSalle. I sketched with a blue watercolor pencil and added the color later at home.

It was very hot last Sat, Dad and I joined the USKSG to sketch at Queenstown.. We went late and only managed to sketch the church right outside the mrt station.. as we missed the morning briefing, we didn’t know they changed the show-and-tell location to the community center until Pat came to get his car and kindly offered us a ride to the CC! We did another sketch outside block 47 after show-and-tell before heading home…

The highlight of Feburary is my first ever oversea sketch trip with the UrbanSketchers Singapore members at Bangkok, Thailand. It was a 2-day event organized by the Bangkok sketchers as part of the community festival that celebrate a heredity area next to the Chao Phraya River. I am impressed by the hospitality and the organization of the BKK sketchers. I enjoyed the experience very much and would sure be back to BKK!

Haven’t updated for a while as I went back to HK for a short break. Did not bring the camera this time, just a small sketchbook and a pen. It was great to see family and friends again, but the trip was too short.
We took an early flight to HK.

The first thing we did after settling down is to go for a haircut. I had a very bad haircut a few months ago in SG and I need a fix so badly… felt much happier after the haircut. Then we went back to the hotel and take a short break before going to family dinner.

The next morning, we had dim sum brunch with a friend.

The next day, we went to Sai Kung. We even took a small boat to one of the off islands. The boat ride was really fun. We had desserts at the famous HoneyMoon dessert place before going home for dinner.

Little India is such a colorful place to sketch, and you won’t run out of topics! Last Sat, I joined another sketching session at Buffalo Road, Little India organized by Master Chan Chang How. It was another fruitful session, Master Chan showed me how to sketch people, he was really fast and his sketch captured the motion and the form so nicely! The two persons in the sketch in the middle were done by Master Chan, I added them to my sketch with Photoshop :P He also showed me how to sketch the leaves in the drawing on the right, and helped me to add some darker parts to the drawing so that it’ll pop.

Buffalo Road and Kerbau Road
I went on to sketch along Chander Road, attracted by the shadows on this Kerbau Hotel but can’t quite capture it on my sketch here.

Also tried to sketch with pencil at Belilios Lane…
