[*IMPORTANT: Pls note that this month's sketch walk is NOT going to be at Raffles Marina (RM) as previously alluded to... there has been a change in plan due to some factors; RM will be for Dec Sketchwalk now... so PLS DON'T GO THERE!]
1. Arrange to meet fellow sketchers — no more than 5 in a group — by posting the spot you plan to capture on the event wall; ask who's joining and discuss in the comments until you confirm your little quintet. And please have your face mask on at all times.
2.Make your way to the location, be aware of surroundings, and maintain required distancing; remain in your separate groups.
3. 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.
4. Post your sketches, snapshots and videos online — with hashtags #usksg — so everyone can easily find the day's artistic output.
5. Some sketch leaders will go around to catch you in action for posts on Facebook and Instagram, so look out for them!
6. We will do a Sketch Show via ZOOM at 3:00 PM to substitute our usual post-sketchwalk gathering; make your way home — or anywhere suitable — in time to join the session.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
In compliance to Government Covid safety guidelines, we can’t be congregating as a big group of sketchers. As such, we can sketch in small clusters of no more than 5 persons each, and there must be a minimum distance of no less than 15m between each cluster.
Remember: MASKS ON.
Please strictly comply. USkSG (and our sketch leaders) will not be held responsible for any flouting of the above guidelines.
Thank you.

Last month we tried out a new format for connecting remotely, to capture the sense of camaraderie of our pre-pandemic sessions.

July Sketchwalk is back this Saturday
It's been a long while since we've all met up and sketched together on the last Saturday of the month.
Let's reset and start again in a new format, and recapture the sense of camaraderie.
More details will follow in the next few days on USKSG FB Page and Group, but here's a quick summary for now:
1. Go out — or stay in — and sketch your neighbourhood.
2. Meet with fellow sketchers — make sure it's a group of 5 or less — and bring them to your favourite spot or a hidden gem you know of.
3. Post your sketches and pics in the Facebook group — we may create an event album — for a collage or montage to be shared after the event.
4. We may do a Facebook/Instagram Live session to engage everyone at points during the 3 hours.
This format is new to the core team, and for all sketchers as well. Let's give it a go and see how it works out.
Catch you on Saturday!

Circuit Sketch Break Challenge

Circuit Sketch Break
USKSG’s OFFICIAL STATEMENT ON OUR PART DURING “CIRCUIT BREAKER” PERIOD
Hello Sketchers!
We hope you’ve all been holding up well during these extraordinary circumstances. The situation has challenged our way of life, and also how we expend creative energy.
Here in Singapore, new measures come into effect from Tuesday, 7 April, to curb the accelerating rise in community transmissions of COVID-19. The key actions aim to maximise physical separation, and we must all attempt to:
1. remain at home, as much as possible
2. only go out for emergencies, essential activities and non-contact exercise
3. intentionally keep away from others when in public
Most of us will have to work and study from home, at least until the end of the month — this truly underscores the gravity of enacting this “circuit breaker” now.
The Core Team of Urban Sketchers Singapore implores all sketchers to hold off on sketching outdoors, be it alone or in groups — drawing on location is obviously not essential, so we can pick it up again after the pandemic is under control.
There may be opportunities to sketch in transient moments, while out for essential services or activities: during a commute, in a queue, awaiting collection, while exercising; should you choose to, please refrain from loitering just to finish.
Let’s play our part in flattening the curve of this pandemic, stand in solidarity with healthcare workers and supporting staff, and stop worsening the hold that the virus has on us all.
We wish you a productive weekend, in preparation for the coming weeks. Be well and safe!
P.S. Look out for upcoming themed challenges to occupy us all in sketching together, even while apart!
