Great Turn Out

October Sketchwalk at Haw Par Villa

We're going to visit the ten courts of hell! With over 1,000 statues and 150 giant dioramas, you'll have a field day capturing scenes from Chinese mythology, folklore, legends, history, and depictions of Confucianism.

It is also the relaunch of Haw Par Villa after a switch of managing entity, so there will be lots of activities throughout the day, and plenty of media coverage.

MEETING POINTS
9:30 am
Jade Room – Outside
(go straight up the slope after entering park gate)

12:15 pm
Jade Room – Inside
– Gather for "sketchgawk" where everyone displays works done for the day; for staring at, drooling over and snapshots.

Group photo for posterity

Haw Par Villa sketchwalk video

Here's the video of today's sketchwalk at Haw Par Villa for those who missed it.

I can see everyone's having fun at Haw Par Villa today. Some mentioned it was their first time visiting the place. After it closed down. I thought the park no longer exists. When I went back a few months ago to discover that it's still around, I was quite shocked. Even more shocked was to see that the statues and diorama are actually repainted.

It's a very interesting place to sketch as there are lots of things to sketch. And colours are everywhere, and that could be quite a challenge to portray in your sketch.

FYI, there are mosquitoes there.
