Anniversary Lunch at Sky 57

I finally scan and stitch this piece together. This was done at our anniversary lunch from a restaurant at 57th storey of Marina Bay Sands called "Sky 57". The public can still go up to the Sky Park - the observatory deck of Marina Bay Sands and sketch while standing. No sitting is allowed. The entry fee to the Sky Park is S$23 per person. This sketch was drawn on Moleskine Japanese Album across 9 pages. The size of each page is 9x14cm or 3.5x 5.5" per page.

Kallang River from the Sky Park

This was the third time I went up to the Sky Park of Marina Bay Sands to sketch. This time I decided to sketch the other side of the island view that covered Singapore Flyer, Kallang River and the East Coast area. I could see National Stadium and Indoor Stadium too. As I was sitting on my tiny stool getting into the mood of sketching, the security guard came and said: "Sorry ma'am, no sitting is allowed." I was upset but continued the sketch in a hurry and added the blue-green colour on location to mark the long winding Kallang River. I rendered the black trees and green turf later for Marina Bay Golf Course. Opposite the golf course at the other side of the river bank is the big wheel called the Singapore Flyer and directly under the big wheel is F1 Pit Building- location for the F1 Grand Prix held this week from 24 to 26 Sep. That's a lot of happenings this week for our tiny city-state island.

sketching from the sky park

Last Friday after night sketching with the group, I went to Marina Bay Sands to stay for a night with my family. Next day, Don and Kath joined us for an over-priced local lunch before heading up to the sky park and sketch. I found a tiny shady area and sketched comfortably while Don bravely stood under the hot sun for one and a half to two hours.
