It's back to walking and sketching again as the thrill of the Tiong Bahru exhibition simmer down. It is great to simply walk down a street in search for interesting sketch-worthy subjects. As I entered the market, I found dried produce a very common sight. There are almost 5 other stalls selling the same things; dried shrimps, dried fishes, salted preserved fishes, dried chilli, ikan bilis and so forth. I love the smell of these combined together as I stood nearby to sketch. I chose this particular stall because of the variety of dried produce it has, and how the stall keeper has arranged them in a very attractive way. The stream of customers is relentless. I was wondering why would anyone want to purchase something like this. I am always eating out, and in addition I don't see my parents using so many such dried produce before.
I like this particular style as in the line work when you alternate between thick heavy lines and light lines. After which, the splashes were there to create light and texture.
