3rd SketchWalk @ Tiong Bahru

Tiong Bahru Sketchwalk2, 30th June

Evening Sketchwalk @ Geylang 24/04/2010

This is our very first night sketchwalk and we chose Geylang, our very own red light district. Much like King's Cross in London & Sydney. The sketching proved to be very challenging especially with the limited amount of light. Traffic was high and people everywhere. We had fun observing the men prowling the back alleys and the sex workers busy at work looking for their next potential customer.

This is another durian stall along the streets of Geylang. D-24 is a higher grade durian. We had 1 very sweet durian at the end of the night.

We went to check out a smaller lane in the red light district. Here I was almost sketching blind because the sodium street lamp gave a very dim orange glow all around. Besides knowing the colours in my watercolour box and the rest was really guess work. It did not turn out badly when I walked back into the bright lights. Many men were walking around us wondering what we were doing in the dark. I had a street cat for company while sketching this too.

Trying a different technique using white pen and pastel for my last sketch at Geylang. We were busy eating our soya bean drinks and sharing our sketch books around the table.

Substation @ Serangoon Road, Singapore

We met this morning at Farrer Park train station for our Little India sketch crawl. This is my 1st sketchcrawl with the Singapore gang. While sitting at the coffee shop waiting, I saw how the early morning sun was falling on the buildings surrounding the substation. It was simply magical.

Norris Road @ Little India, Singapore

We chanced upon this long back alley because of the pigeons. Lots and lots of pigeons every where. The back doors are often used by the shops and restaurants for the delivery of goods and garbage disposal. Still a pretty lane to look at.

5-Foot-Way @ Little India, Singapore

This is another 5-foot-way sketch I did. Many colourful floor tiles with intricate designs adorn this long corridor. The weather was also getting intense so the shade from this corridor was a much needed respite.

Syed Alwi Road @ Little India, Singapore

I like the orange dome that was sticking out from among the shop houses. Not sure what the orange building is. Maybe a temple. I also realised I drew the bicycle a little too big.
