This past weekend I joined the Urban Sketchers Singapore's January sketchmeet which was held in Chinatown. What an enthusiastic group and a fabulous turnout again! So nice to meet up with friends I had made when I last spent an extended period in Singapore in 2013/14.
Having come not so long ago from a Canadian winter, it felt hot and tiring sketching outdoors. The steps I was sitting on was hard on the bum but what a buzz in Chinatown just a week before Chinese New Year and the skilled sketchers around me were an inspiration.
I seem to sketch faster (and better ?) at sketchmeets. Here was my sketch for the day (completed at the sketchmeet).
I spent a lot of time chatting with friends and tried to watch the guest demo by watercolorist Ng Woon Lam. Unfortunately the crowd around him was too big to get a good view but I caught some of his free watery style. Wish I could paint like that!
Here is a video of the sketchmeet by Teoh Yi Chie (USKSG’s resident cameraman):
