August Sketchwalk at Clementi

Our August sketchwalk session is a tie in with SG Heart Map, as the third in a series of five sketchwalks in August and September.

Clementi is a mature HDB estate that has undergone major upgrading, so there is a good mix of old and new hangout places.

From 9:00am, starting at the town centre between block 447 and 449, sketchers can explore places such as the sports complex and swimming pool, their favourite coffee shops, or take a shuttle further out to the Ulu Pandan Park Connector where there is an old railway bridge over the river/canal.

First Sketchwalk under SG Heart Map

Urban Sketchers Singapore and SG Heart Map team are collaborating to organise a few sketchwalks to five hangout places identified by Singaporeans in August and September as part of the SG50 celebrations. With several of the buildings having gone through extensive renovations, such as the former City Hall, Old Supreme Court and Victoria Theatre—now it's the turn of the Asian Civilisation Museum — the area does hold much potential to become a popular future hangout for everyone of us.

From the meeting point at The Arts House, sketchers can explore the many colonial buildings surrounding them. We will meet up at the front steps of the new National Gallery Singapore at the end.

Happy National Day 2015

Today our nation celebrates 50th National Day. I had a busy day yesterday on all things SG50. While my husband was queuing to get into Art Science Museum, I did a sketch shown here at the Marina Bay. Everywhere was packed with people at Marina Bay but we had a restful late lunch at the No Signboard seafood restaurant at Esplanade. 3:30pm was our talk at the Esplanade Library and another restful teabreak with the potters before we had dinner at No Signboard again. This time the restaurant was packed and we were lucky to be given a table with a condition not to exceed one hour for our dinner. It was alright for us as we had a Nanyin concert to watch at the Esplanade Recital Studio at 7:30pm. After the concert, I stayed back to listen to the post-talk while my potter friends went home. As I got out of Esplanade, the fireworks had just ended but I was able to see the last laser show by MBS. I also managed to see The Fullenton clad in huge digital national flag. What a day and happy National Day and SG50 to everyone.

July Sketchwalk and Symposium at SMU Open Green

Final Mass Sketchwalk at SMU Campus Green

I didn't want to miss the final, big, open, huge, mass sketchwalk. I never missed in the past symposiums except one at Santo Domingo. I am glad I did a sketch at the final sketchwalk.
