March Sketchwalk at Golden Mile Complex




We are heading to Golden Mile Complex on 25 Mar (Sat). The almost 50 years old complex “Little Thailand” will be closed by May 2023. The shops inside the complex are gradually moving out this and next month. Let’s sketch the complex or the shops inside, before it’s gone!

Instructions for the day:
1. Make your way to the location, be aware of surroundings, and maintain necessary distancing.
2. Challenge yourself to explore hidden corners that hasn't been seen/drawn yet; this will also help prevent too many of us crowding the same perching points.
3. Post your sketches, snapshots and videos online — ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐ก๐š๐ฌ๐ก๐ญ๐š๐ ๐ฌ #๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ค๐ฌ๐  — so everyone can easily find the day's artistic output.
4. Some sketch leaders will go around to catch you in action for posts on Facebook and Instagram, so look out for them!
5. Happy sketching!! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
