June Sketchwalk at Marina Barrage

Hi Sketchers!

For June's month end sketchwalk, we'll be going to Marina Barrage! The skyline will be different with the upcoming Founder's Memorial, perhaps we could sketch before it changes. We haven't been here for a month end sketchwalk since 2012! Much due time to visit again.

Adhoc Sketchwalk @ Marina Barrage

Sketching near the Singapore Booth. I saw these ladies on the bench with the booth staged behind. I found it quite interesting. Later I found out that they are good friends who came with the bus to the event, and they were waiting for the bus to bring them back, maybe to the CC again. They came over to see what I was doing. The Indian lady was amused to see herself in the sketch and requested to write her name on my sketch. I painted the sketch later at home. 

Result of ad-hoc sketchwalk at Marina Barrage

My first piece, did this alone along the ramp hide under the tiny shadow cast by the parapet. Also with the new Noodler's pen, don't quite get used to it. ink flow not so ideal but I managed to complete it.


My second piece, did it sitting together with other sketchers. This one done with hero pen bought by James Tan the ink flow not so ideal too, spot the 'sometime thick sometime dry' lines. HA!


My third piece, did this with Andrew Tan Tsun Wen's 20 years crayon, not kidding. Also with Patrick Ng's new crayon especially the white colour. Here is the group picture for the big turn out!
