Group Photo for National Day Sketchwalk

ALSW update

I have been busy after returning from Kuala Lumpur sketching trip, but it is a must to follow the updates on Asia Link Sketchwalk in Phuket this year from 14-17 August. I take pride in updating the logo from the old post here: https://tiastudio.blogspot.com/2023/08/asia-link-sketchwalk.html

The seed of Asia Link Sketchwalk was first planted by earlier sketching trips organised by Penang for the Georgtown Festivals in 2012 and 2014, then Sketchwalk ChaoPhraya in Bangkok 2013 and the first USk Symposium in Asia (Singapore) in 2015 continued with formalising Asia Link Sketchwalk started in Bangkok in 2016. The rest is history.

April Sketchwalk at Empress Road Market

Hi Sketchers!
This month, we're heading to Empress Road Market.  With its retro signage, no-frills wet market, and a beloved hawker centre serving up local favourites, it’s a spot that feels frozen in time. From the bustle of morning shoppers to the regulars enjoying kopi at corner tables, there's a warm, lived-in character here that’s perfect for capturing through sketches.
