June Sketchwalk at Singapore River

We are heading to the National Gallery on 24th June (Sat). USkSG will be collaborating with the Gallery for their Wellness Festival 2023.

If you’d like to join a short 30min tour by NGS, meet at the main entrance (St Andrew’s Cathedral side) at 9:20am to sign-up for the tour.

Each tour is limited to 20pax per session. The Gallery will be distributing goodie bags to sketchers at the 9:30am briefing. Limited availability while stocks last.

There will be group tours. The first at 9:30am and subsequent tours from 10:30am. The Gallery will be exploring a few paintings revolving around the Singapore River.

Once your tour ends, you can head down to the Raffles Landing Site to sketch. Location: https://goo.gl/maps/jERQfyGvxnZP9AAG6

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 — 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐡𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐬 #𝐮𝐬𝐤𝐬𝐠 #gallerywellnessfestival #gwf2023 & @nationalgallerysingapore — 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!!
