May Sketchwalk

This month, we explore the vibrantly restored neighbourhood of Ann Siang Hill and Club Street in Chinatown. Please note that this session will be in the afternoon, after lunch.

Hong Ban Pang will lead the sketchwalk of the area, assisted by Chris Ng and Andrew Yeo. Ban Pang can be reached at +65 9385 8391 on the day. 

*please refrain from overwhelming the sketch leaders with queries before properly reading up on all information

We will start and end the afternoon at The URA Centre, with the sketching area just a quick climb up the slope behind. 

You can fuel up at Maxwell Food Centre, or any of the cafes and restaurants along the two streets.

See you there!

May Day Hong Kong Trip

I had a very short trip to meet my son and his family in Hong Kong over the May day holiday. I only had time to sketch at the Changi Airport, during crowded dim sum lunch and one early morning from the hotel room in that sequence.

First time I noticed while sketching the airplane that there were many activities and vehicles moving at the same time around the airplane. The sketch at the forever crowded Maxim's Palace had a story this time that the dim sum restaurant used the online queue system so we could stay at home and managed our time before taking a cab to the restaurant with the given online queue system. The hotel window panes at Ibis Central & Sheung Wan in Hong Kong were in ORANGE colour! What a pity with such a nice view, sigh! I picked up the light and shadow and just added some random colours here and there since everything was in ORANGE.
