Process

I was teaching at NAFA on Monday and SUTD on Friday and it just happened both locations were the same at Waterloo Street for that week. I did not plan it that way and only realised it later. So I was able to use the same piece started as a demo to NAFA adult students on Monday then completed the demo piece to SUTD students on Friday that same week.

It just happened and it worked out so well.

Etchr Demo Piece

First time I did a demo piece LIVE on Youtube to the whole world. Very honoured, excited and such a fun experience to share the skyline that depicts our country's achievement in a very short time with one generation of wisdom and very hardwork by the people of Singapore.

I am so proud of this view that we still keep our bay front with all the heritage buildings we grew up with. From the left on the foreground is Custom House now houses the Super Loco, Neptune Theatre Restaurant now OUE Tower, Clifford Pier, Fullerton Hotel and the Merlion Park. On the mid-ground is The Arcade, The Collyer Quay Centre, old Tung Centre now Guocoland Collyer Quay, We Work formaly HSBC and The Bank of China. On the background are all the new highrise buildings such as CapitaSpring being the newest addition.

Demo piece at Marina Bay

I may be sketching this scene at Marina Bay for many times but this time I did the demo for a video on using Etchr Accordion Sketchbook. It was also the outdoor lesson for students from SUTD.

Demo Pieces

You see two almost identical demo pieces side by side because I have two different classes in a week.

These are my demo pieces during the Oct/Nov lessons that I teach at Brahm Centre after my retirement from the higher institutions which I seldom or don't do demo at all. At higher institutions, younger students will engage in self discovery in their art journey after I give them the lecture or briefing at the start of each lesson. However, I realise for senior learners in my current classes, demo is necessary for them to grasp the skills in a structured way.

Impromptu Demo Session

I completed all 5 Etchr Accordion Sketchbooks thanks to Er Win and Etchr Lab, also James Ethos Klaus as my partner in crime at the demo session.
