Sensoryscape at Sentosa

Thanks Sentosa for the opportunity for us to sketch on the island.

Today last Saturday of the month is our official sketchwalk at Sentosa. I have yet to find time to complete uploading my sketches for KL trip but this one done back home at Sentosa is more important. So happy to meet my fellow sketchers at Sensoryscape at Sentosa!

This is at Beach Station, also the entrance to Sensoryscape, a relatively new attraction replacing the old Merlion Walk where a sensory journey from Sentosa's lush ridges to its vibrant reefs unfolds. It is even more magical at night with scent, sound, touch, and light display. Unfortunately we could not explore when the rain started to pour.

PINK

Sketching brings us to places we don't normally go.

Today at Telok Blangah Hill Park was such a place we sketched together under the hot scotching sun with a sudden passing shower almost at the end of the session. We took refuge in a shelter on the hill top chatting and sketching together, so fun!

I brought my very old A3 Daler Rowney watercolour paper. As I came very late, I used big flat waterbrushes splashing away happily with Holbein Opera pink for the blooming bougainvillea shrubs. Adding pen and ink dots and lines to the trees was therapeutic too.

Marina Barrage

Today sketchwalk at Marina Barrage. It was a very hot day but still there were people flying big and small kites on the roof top and families having picnics on the mats with kids holding small kites coloured by the them under the shades.

We were lucky to be on the roof top and not have security guards chasing us away but we were told sketchers on other floors were not so lucky.

I did the entire 7 pages on location except the people having picnic and splashes in the sky were added later. The view is so nice but don't think we want to go back to sketch again. HA!
