April Sketchwalk at Empress Road Market

Hi Sketchers!

This month, we're heading to Empress Road Market. 🤗 With its retro signage, no-frills wet market, and a beloved hawker centre serving up local favourites, it’s a spot that feels frozen in time. From the bustle of morning shoppers to the regulars enjoying kopi at corner tables, there's a warm, lived-in character here that’s perfect for capturing through sketches.

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 — 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!! 😃
