F1 Night Race in Singapore

As urban sketchers, we had the privilege to tour the back of house of our National Gallery on a Saturday morning. Just 17 of us on a special tour guided by Mr Loke Chee Meng, also my schoolmate for over 50 years! So happy to reconnect with him after so many years. He had such wealth of knowledge on our National Gallery. We could only use pencils to sketch the court room in a very dark lighting upper gallery due to the huge historical British royal family portraiture paintings on the wall.

I was early for the tour so I sketched the city view from the famous steps of National Gallery. The view was blocked by the big screen and the steel pillars, lighting grids, barricades etc etc for the biggest event in town next week from 13 to 19 Sep - the F1 night race!

F1 night race started in Singapore in 2008 for 21 times up to last year.
