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!! 😃

Result of Sketchwalk at Redhill

We went to Redhill, the heartland for the April sketchwalk. We had new comers and more lady sketchers this round. I did 3 sketches of different sizes for this morning sketchwalk at Redhill. I arrived very late at around 10.15am due to the heavy rain in the morning. After my breakfast at this coffee shop, I started with the top piece in smaller size to warm up. Elderly folks were everywhere! It reminded me of my childhood at Queenstown. 21 x 15cm, ink & watercolours.

The second piece on the upgraded old flats including block 21 was done in about 30 to 45 mins just in time to rush back to the food center to meet other sketchers at 12.30pm. These are upgraded older flats in Redhill. The architectural style of these flats in the old days was primarily of art-deco features and proportions similar to those found in Tiong Bahru charaterised by its curved balconies and window projections. The semi-curved parapet wall facade could be added later in my view and I think the facade is redundant and very artificial. 40 x 20 cm. Ink & watercolours.

Third piece was done after the session ended at the hawker center. People moved very fast from the tables. A stall was closed on a busy Saturday which was unusual. 26 x 13 cm. Ink on Muji sketchbook.

Despite of the heavy downpour in the morning, we had a big turn out for the sketchwalk at Redhill, the heartland! We also saw a few new lady sketchers. Group picture and video by Don Low.

Sketchwalk April @ Redhill

Our upcoming sketchwalk will be at Redhill. (read the story behind the area). Drop at Redhill MRT station. Cross the traffic junction on your left when you exit (A) the station. We will meet at the Redhill food centre (Blk 85 Redhill lane) at 9.30am where you can have your breakfast before sketchwalking.

We will then spread out to any direction we like. To the west are many car showrooms such as Lexus, VW, Porsche. There is a small temple there too. Around the food centre, it is mostly residential. There are HDB flats with varied designs from charming/old to new. Take the opportunity to climb up to a high floor for a different view. The hawker centre and the wetmarket, with its strange roof designs, could be interesting to draw as well. Take your time exploring the area and drawing. At 1230pm, we will return to the food centre for lunch. There are quite a few good stalls there. 

See map HERE. Pls contact Tia 96968080 or Andrew 91070735 if you can't find us.
