Masjid Darul Aman at Eunos

Found a few old sketches done in square format, here is one on the iconic mosque at Jalan Eunos and the HUDC flats (Housing and Urban Development Company) before it was sold enbloc behind the mosque. Now it is the private condominium called Parc Esta with over a thousand units. I remember I was inside the car at the nearby carpark and did this real quick.

Result of Sketchwalk at Eunos

First location when we met at the food centre after a cup of good coffee. The lorries and vans were constantly coming in and out of the carpark lots. Now you see it and now you don't so it was a challenge sketching the vehicles. The little red shrine was what a sketcher called it "god's postbox" and there were many of them in different forms and shapes. I guess you need them there to protect the workers from mishaps and accidents in a industrial estate.

Second location, I was sitting next to a huge pile of rubbish sketching this. I was attracted to the forklift parked next to the bicycle and an uncle drove it away before I could finish it. So I added more curve lines on the road at the bottom left that was the original location for the wheels of the forklift. Colours added on the spot.

Third location, I found a forklift to sketch! So as four other sketchers. It was the same forklift that was parked at the second location. As I was about to colour the sketch, it started to drizzle so I added the colours later.

great turn out for sketchwalk at Eunos

Great turn out for today's sketchwalk at Eunos. Many new and young faces. Some left half way. You can see the rest of the photos here on facebook. Thanks to our photographer friends, Dan and Carol for most of the professional shots. Singapore sketchers and photographers united!

I am sure all sketchers are busy scanning their work to be uploaded either on the blog or on facebook group, before that, let me share some photos.

SKETCHWALK 25th, 9.30AM-12.30PM

Join us, Urbansketchers and OIC, for our next sketchwalk happening this saturday morning. The location this time will be the Eunos Industrial Estate, located just beside the Singapore Post Centre. This area is rich with workshops specialising in metal works, timber, furniture, automobile repair and spray painting, all lined up one after the other. There will be much to draw. Please take extreme caution: Choose safe spots to sketch and always keep a lookout for forklifts and trucks in this busy area.

Directions: Get down at Paya Lebar Stn. Follow the dotted lines to the food center marked out in red. Meet at the food center at 9.30am. From there we may spread out in all directions, covering the estate at our own leisure. We will return back to the same food center by 12.30pm. The building marked out in pink is rather interesting too if you have time to explore it.
