August Sketchwalk @ Geylang Serai, 27th Aug 2011

Despite the rain and the presidential voting, about 35 of us turn up to sketch the soon to be demolished Malay Village at Geylang Serai. We also sketched the very festive bazaar near the new Geylang Serai Market before settling down for lunch. Thank you everyone for turning up and for the amazing job you did on Saturday!

I managed 4 quick thumbnail sketches despite having to answer my phone several times to give help to stranded sketchers. The terrible humidity that came after the rain did not help too.

The Refectory, Catheral of The Good Shepherd

Catheral of the Good Shepherd

It was a nice afternoon sitting and painting inside this really old catheral. It was build more than 100years ago and still stands quietly today. Very little has been done to the Catheral so it has retained much of that old colonial charm. I like the very strong afternoon sun was trying to pierced through the stained glass window.

I prepared the watercolour paper with textured paste from Daler&Rowney last night. Very useful for dramatic scenes like this.
