These are places that are still around in Singapore. Some are conserved, some, like the old school barber, may not be around for long as redevelopment of old neighbourhoods catch up. I've tried to source for links to give more information about each place. Many thanks to Jerome Lim, SLA (Singapore Land Authority), and Urban Sketchers Singapore for the opportunities to sketch some of these places.</p><p><br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZpsed3xCOb_U7OXd60NX6K8CTEKYKvMKcnVlIJnFFyX5VW_0MN2tGIha5o67JrXAuGAkqZExfAKMZho00upQ6XEoE7f-ZFHNsEJPBHePHpwW1Qr7wZLzsH3GFRHYKecoCiDQ9WBz4F6s/s1000/Watten+Estate+Web.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="713" data-original-width="1000" height="285" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZpsed3xCOb_U7OXd60NX6K8CTEKYKvMKcnVlIJnFFyX5VW_0MN2tGIha5o67JrXAuGAkqZExfAKMZho00upQ6XEoE7f-ZFHNsEJPBHePHpwW1Qr7wZLzsH3GFRHYKecoCiDQ9WBz4F6s/w400-h285/Watten+Estate+Web.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://thelongnwindingroad.wordpress.com/2018/06/05/a-dutch-flavoured-corner-in-the-former-chasseriau-estate/">Dutch Gabled House</a> at Watten Estate<br />© Favian Ee.

I went down to sketch it on the last day of operations for the McDonald's outlet there with my friend Tony Chua. This piece of analogue equipment had been around for 20 years and will be replaced with a digital board. Gone are the sounds of those flaps as the flight information changes.</p><p>The McDonald's outlet has also been in operation for 16 years and has become something of an institution not only for travelers but also for mugging students. It's not the first Macs to close after a long tenure, and will not be the last (think KAP, East Coast, etc.), and will surely be missed. It was closing as Terminal 2 was going to undergo renovations.

The classic orange-tiled towers that stood along the Singapore River next to Clarke Quay was also home to Kinokuniya, Meidi-ya, and Swensens back in the day. Things changed over time and the life ebbed away after Daimaru left, but the mall below still hung on. The church I attended used their hotel ballrooms for service there at Novotel at one point too.

I lived next to one of these railway lines, which stopped operating in the 1990's. I was always told that the land along the railway belonged to Malaysia, and that if I stepped onto the tracks, I'd be in Malaysia right away, right in my backyard!</p><p>I lived along the Jurong railway line. In my younger days, we still could see trains go choo-choo by from the shipyards in Jurong and connect to the Bukit Timah line. It wasn't till much later that I learned it went through a tunnel under Clementi Road and through Clementi Forest to connect to the main rail line which traversed the island from Tanjong Pagar to Woodlands. In 2011, the land along the former Keretapi Tanah Melayu (KTM) railway track was
returned to Singapore after the Malaysian rail operator ceased train
services here.</p><p>The 3 truss bridges are in the western side of Singapore and span different environments. The one along Bukit Timah and Dunearn Road is probably the most well-known. It goes over Bukit Timah Road and its parallel road in the opposite direction, Dunearn Road, and the monsoon drain between, connecting Rifle Range Road on one end to Bukit Timah Railway Station behind King Albert Park. It uses a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truss_bridge#Baltimore_truss">Baltimore Truss </a>construction.</p><p><br /></p><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyg-Ml6k02EQ9MtuF_PQszqC5teHQLihEwv_B08VEbFBdiGGjqTG29HhMyRJl0LVNMQcBrGhCbtt2yLhnNuQfEFadmzES9c9zLFc9OxVSz0lg0XjnxvHcyE0yITdz7ZXdzop-oW9eT8dk/s1200/Bukit+Timah+Road+Truss+Bridge+reduced.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="550" data-original-width="1200" height="184" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyg-Ml6k02EQ9MtuF_PQszqC5teHQLihEwv_B08VEbFBdiGGjqTG29HhMyRJl0LVNMQcBrGhCbtt2yLhnNuQfEFadmzES9c9zLFc9OxVSz0lg0XjnxvHcyE0yITdz7ZXdzop-oW9eT8dk/w400-h184/Bukit+Timah+Road+Truss+Bridge+reduced.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Bukit Timah Road Truss Bridge<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>The second truss bridge is near Hillview close to the Rail Mall.

It is probably the largest of the 3, even if it has less beams. This is the one I was most familiar with as I lived nearby. Before the tracks were removed, I traced them from its AYE end to Sunset Way before it dove into the jungle and under the tunnel at Clementi Road. Back then, it ran parallel to the river along the flats at Clementi. There were community farms on state land before they were removed due to complaints. Some of those farms had been around for 30 years! They were a space for older folks doing hobby gardening and farming and to hang out with their friends. It was a shame they have been removed. There was even a well near one of them, several metres above the water level of the river. A good stretch of the line was overgrown, some with ponds nearby with insects, dragonflies, and other wildlife. Some rare butterflies also made that stretch their home. Unfortunately development along the line meant that some of the nature has since been replaced by condominiums and roads. However, if you know where to look, you can even find some stretches of rail remaining without having to trudge through Clementi Forest. This bridge is now closed as it's quite run down and hasn't been maintained, but some years back I could still gingerly cross it.<br /></p><p> </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjJ31qKv0mrj-dZEnZddtSAg1TTnhUWYd7dMfeIt-yAYXqowzh7QNAXZre1z-MJn6klblLiZTKMK1G4HE01n4HjIwzxiaSMTv8qH-gRPbTE7nrPIPjFcLkv95Obc95iNqf0fk0bCwN8a0/s1200/Sungei+Ulu+Pandan+Truss+Bridge+reduced.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="479" data-original-width="1200" height="160" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjJ31qKv0mrj-dZEnZddtSAg1TTnhUWYd7dMfeIt-yAYXqowzh7QNAXZre1z-MJn6klblLiZTKMK1G4HE01n4HjIwzxiaSMTv8qH-gRPbTE7nrPIPjFcLkv95Obc95iNqf0fk0bCwN8a0/w400-h160/Sungei+Ulu+Pandan+Truss+Bridge+reduced.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Ulu Pandan Truss Bridge<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>I wanted to capture these vestiges of our rail heritage and present not only the bridges but also the environments they are located in - roads, buildings, overhead bridges, rivers, etc. I chose to sketch these bridges using fineliner pens, specifically Pentel pointliners on an Etchr hot press watercolour sketchbook. I decided not to add watercolour wash over the linework, which stood well on its own. Each sketch took several hours. I started by blocking out the shapes on-location in pencil and finished them at home from photo reference. I'm quite pleased with how they turned out.

Such a contemporary is Richard Johnson who has accompanied American troops to the frontline in the Middle East to document scenes of military and combat with little more than paper, pen, and pencil. He stands in a great centuries-old tradition of artists who used their talents to record scenes and experiences under fire and in the most harrowing times. Hence when I came across this book in the library, I borrowed it without hesitation. It is one thing to be engaged to be a combat artist. It is quite another to have documented the experience as a POW in captivity, risking one’s very life just to draw. Searle does just that. And to bring things closer to home, his experience is the experience of my country - Singapore - of just a generation or two ago. Searle was a POW during Singapore’s Japanese Occupation during the Second World War.</p><p><br /></p><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1bYF3PR4ZGJ_2zTdIfSEWEy5D-g3BK7JiaV3I_Zr5bs-vmYo6cAZea4T-LfJGz7x9U276QUSxs5nKMDva7P5FrI3rxNCGManWsCw7u3JSNGj6NsbUSW5OVoFZ-Bq-yae-Fdk66VKF0wI/s2048/4F791324-9051-4263-B728-44E24AA13771.jpeg"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1bYF3PR4ZGJ_2zTdIfSEWEy5D-g3BK7JiaV3I_Zr5bs-vmYo6cAZea4T-LfJGz7x9U276QUSxs5nKMDva7P5FrI3rxNCGManWsCw7u3JSNGj6NsbUSW5OVoFZ-Bq-yae-Fdk66VKF0wI/w400-h300/4F791324-9051-4263-B728-44E24AA13771.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYDzfMP1OWN3EtIlxzMAwnjRnmtV7Wosxw30slUAhzMHHDdarI57_INnAlHZGWj6paw1pspgLXUuMAX8jYofy02qhxUssCKd52BujXOaK7Imd8oWio8kMJVnOtke3rrkk5fmCvEb1mHPA/s2048/841D7F07-93F9-40CE-BADF-31EEB7C63267.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYDzfMP1OWN3EtIlxzMAwnjRnmtV7Wosxw30slUAhzMHHDdarI57_INnAlHZGWj6paw1pspgLXUuMAX8jYofy02qhxUssCKd52BujXOaK7Imd8oWio8kMJVnOtke3rrkk5fmCvEb1mHPA/w400-h300/841D7F07-93F9-40CE-BADF-31EEB7C63267.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuqAvICrNJtMjwsy-5MYQYayM-8IgRF5fXZh2YCftD0fzhs6n7ZgWVgLs9JrAxCYzMum_q9WrfrpxHsek88BoUj2J9sluPsVM0bythdEX80fPdcKP9sVlQpuzSufcf7uus8wTshUJclCk/s2048/0DB21E1D-3007-4665-B192-0239FC71A973.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuqAvICrNJtMjwsy-5MYQYayM-8IgRF5fXZh2YCftD0fzhs6n7ZgWVgLs9JrAxCYzMum_q9WrfrpxHsek88BoUj2J9sluPsVM0bythdEX80fPdcKP9sVlQpuzSufcf7uus8wTshUJclCk/w400-h300/0DB21E1D-3007-4665-B192-0239FC71A973.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p>Searle was just 19 when he joined the army.

The latter gave Searle some coloured pencils and wax crayons, which he used for some sketches. Another Japanese soldier requested a portrait. Searle shows their humanity through these encounters - these were men forced into circumstances like he was, and some of them would not have been doing what they were had they the choice, in fact, Searle reserves some of his more scathing remarks for the incompetence of the Allied Forces.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxl2P3RNz_uj7zh3CcHfoUJahAcipvr_Yt6gvS3vh016QfJcPIuAW1QqDwpQ_iPBa5oz4jwPRAykOxPIlVmJfqruHXlTNnjF5uMkVts4p_SbVQ1kM8fVQkz-OoMdUZ7hgppHyaLMpZMXs/s2048/BEC7FDC9-AA70-4CE6-934B-6FCDC8CEFEBE.jpeg"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxl2P3RNz_uj7zh3CcHfoUJahAcipvr_Yt6gvS3vh016QfJcPIuAW1QqDwpQ_iPBa5oz4jwPRAykOxPIlVmJfqruHXlTNnjF5uMkVts4p_SbVQ1kM8fVQkz-OoMdUZ7hgppHyaLMpZMXs/w400-h300/BEC7FDC9-AA70-4CE6-934B-6FCDC8CEFEBE.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAN1Atc0OpWmBqGtItAmP8JHgz95_qLGT1zkRhQ-DVwDce0JYDxT6UpUINtmAbEEm3kvGGG0Vmh4Bpzbg7PQtp2PFaHSc6EXJeZDuqPYrAdyFzR4wzJCdQsaGH5gJ7zhMx-Ec6yGrUEHc/s2048/AE99E535-3AE4-4233-92C7-D99CE4821AAC.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAN1Atc0OpWmBqGtItAmP8JHgz95_qLGT1zkRhQ-DVwDce0JYDxT6UpUINtmAbEEm3kvGGG0Vmh4Bpzbg7PQtp2PFaHSc6EXJeZDuqPYrAdyFzR4wzJCdQsaGH5gJ7zhMx-Ec6yGrUEHc/w400-h300/AE99E535-3AE4-4233-92C7-D99CE4821AAC.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGuLt6ElXHr2dEJ5XWglmsCVMcgeC_EB-oBxO7FZIkg5UShM9GJOUxKw8TMDtqmlmNplZmjhIpZU1SffQ-wHO4UceMKRNTGFxPXEaPfEpStc-I54a-MrCKz-hToHA-Cyz2NtH5jixvJh8/s2048/B987DC86-666D-412F-A143-AEFA6021305D.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGuLt6ElXHr2dEJ5XWglmsCVMcgeC_EB-oBxO7FZIkg5UShM9GJOUxKw8TMDtqmlmNplZmjhIpZU1SffQ-wHO4UceMKRNTGFxPXEaPfEpStc-I54a-MrCKz-hToHA-Cyz2NtH5jixvJh8/w400-h300/B987DC86-666D-412F-A143-AEFA6021305D.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjypXle2mt1B5OWxEEzB7Rci-8zKupXbPrkYoWGP5QO0Is284HWjJLqCuP9-EocqMHipxfWRTqeJbsQnaamV6ai2q2j7g1CKkpNJjtJvb_rbjeFhbx49MauxVjTCT3JEheIU1amOZIJzUg/s2048/482E654C-31DC-490E-885B-831AC798D040.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjypXle2mt1B5OWxEEzB7Rci-8zKupXbPrkYoWGP5QO0Is284HWjJLqCuP9-EocqMHipxfWRTqeJbsQnaamV6ai2q2j7g1CKkpNJjtJvb_rbjeFhbx49MauxVjTCT3JEheIU1amOZIJzUg/w400-h300/482E654C-31DC-490E-885B-831AC798D040.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p>The surrender of the Japanese in 1945 did not immediately result in the release of POWs.

It’s a lovely eatery in an eastern corner of our island filled with a wide range and eclectic mix of nostalgic objects from the 70’s and 80’s as part of their decor. In one corner there is even a wall of Vespa scooters! We were originally given a seat there but I requested for somewhere nearer a window where it was brighter. I wanted to sketch, after all. So we were ushered to this quaint corner with a coffeetable surrounded by 4 large leather seats and gate grilles all about. We ordered, ate, and I spent the next 3 hours trying to capture the scene.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqLkbm7jVuBiqb0FQPgRFalqTAHgxyOeC3UKORvQ5IoBYNfXhMz3fSMdhmOcdLcYmw5Qi3rIsBy9Ko-b6dwABCR0HwZLinXRWhMe4fhjRwlMxFB0RSsEjUb748wK-1ZDmeOsouspboUcA/s2048/7B8192D1-47F0-4D89-8D23-56FA48EFAA84.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqLkbm7jVuBiqb0FQPgRFalqTAHgxyOeC3UKORvQ5IoBYNfXhMz3fSMdhmOcdLcYmw5Qi3rIsBy9Ko-b6dwABCR0HwZLinXRWhMe4fhjRwlMxFB0RSsEjUb748wK-1ZDmeOsouspboUcA/w400-h300/7B8192D1-47F0-4D89-8D23-56FA48EFAA84.jpeg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">© Favian Ee, Apr 2020</span></td></tr></tbody></table><p>Where does one start drawing a scene so complex and with so many details? It begins like any other sketch - planning your approach. Knowing what tools at your disposal and how you can use them to your advantage is definitely a big part of this. For example, there are several gates which are painted both black and white. That’s good, because I have black pens and opaque white gel pens that I can use to overlay over an area I have drawn earlier, which means I can draw the background first and just go over it with the black and white pens.</p><p>But what about where to start? A complex scene can be intimidating, but you can simplify things by noticing the largest shapes that give the scene structure. Ignore the details. Details distract. If you get too caught up with them, you’ll get sucked into a black hole and lose sight of the whole. For my sketch, I decided to leave out the ceiling, so the main big shapes I’ve identified are the following:</p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>The table in the middle</li><li>The 3 large leather chairs</li><li>The gate grilles</li><li>The openings and the pillars</li><li>The tables on the left and right in the midground</li><li>The gates</li></ul><div>Those are the items I would draw first. Once those are in place, it is easier to place the details within those areas.</div><div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt1R28PbmPKtXVaDbIOInsvLRAq7dkpLJ9fKglk9zvp_ilv2BAhutjjs_MSnB2Rv10ng9jDHeyJ_sASJrWshU0QQRZLSdmn4Z9Aj5Fey3SZ3VVN70fRP902u0XxUKTGJXv9wKnxE_wdTc/s2048/252B928F-D579-4FFE-9E4F-5327CAFE05E9.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt1R28PbmPKtXVaDbIOInsvLRAq7dkpLJ9fKglk9zvp_ilv2BAhutjjs_MSnB2Rv10ng9jDHeyJ_sASJrWshU0QQRZLSdmn4Z9Aj5Fey3SZ3VVN70fRP902u0XxUKTGJXv9wKnxE_wdTc/w400-h300/252B928F-D579-4FFE-9E4F-5327CAFE05E9.jpeg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">© Favian Ee, Apr 2020</span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div>Once I have the structure of the sketch, I have to decide my approach to applying colours. I am using transparent watercolours. That means if I want an area to be light, i need to leave it untouched by the darker colours - I cannot paint light colours over darks. I’m not using gouache, acrylics, or oils which are opaque media that allow me to do that. So I need to build the sketch from light to dark, starting by colouring in the big areas/shapes.</div><div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHVUDZkZddzmi9Q-AbSqKo1wOzViw8QsYdGgKcSjcjREHPcOKodteaHpNYQDmd1AR5cXZWRIqgjSFMGOyxZQHTh6eYPRRcrcVXnvE-HRFj0v26K6F0MTJc4ssEibIYGOchlEJBfqb_ATQ/s2048/54E61BEE-A507-4B7E-9E74-5833433DA99F.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHVUDZkZddzmi9Q-AbSqKo1wOzViw8QsYdGgKcSjcjREHPcOKodteaHpNYQDmd1AR5cXZWRIqgjSFMGOyxZQHTh6eYPRRcrcVXnvE-HRFj0v26K6F0MTJc4ssEibIYGOchlEJBfqb_ATQ/w400-h300/54E61BEE-A507-4B7E-9E74-5833433DA99F.jpeg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">© Favian Ee, Apr 2020</span></td></tr></tbody></table><div><br /></div><div>You may notice that I have painted the dark background <i>around</i> the white pillars rather than painting the pillars themselves. I also started painting the furthest areas from me first, building the darks in layers. The fences are not drawn yet, but I have put in the translucent drape on the leftmost fence. The base colours of the seats have been added in. Around this point I was getting quite intimidated by the details already, but I just carried on. Trust the process. I keep building the sketch from background to foreground, from light to dark. Because I’ve pencilled out the large shapes, I don’t get lost in the details and I know where I am at any point and how one part relates to the whole.</div><div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUjAHS8CqhZnWeDjulOipkO8XBTmjzQNJM5MUwonBK-gnb0PuvM8gKUtz-n89wD753fShKYsDLWL6D7QRxQTI7I6ysIdQreun0sqkpafPJ0CPB0NpeKcNEH1GCXfaQesUf6uQQHsy4xW4/s2048/80D6EF05-A7C6-43AA-A657-07BC34C64D3A.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUjAHS8CqhZnWeDjulOipkO8XBTmjzQNJM5MUwonBK-gnb0PuvM8gKUtz-n89wD753fShKYsDLWL6D7QRxQTI7I6ysIdQreun0sqkpafPJ0CPB0NpeKcNEH1GCXfaQesUf6uQQHsy4xW4/w400-h300/80D6EF05-A7C6-43AA-A657-07BC34C64D3A.jpeg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">© Favian Ee, Apr 2020</span></td></tr></tbody></table><div><br /></div><div>I usually begin a sketch with ink outlines if I’m using ink, but in this case I deferred it to a later stage. I had probably sat there for 2-3 hours already and was getting somewhat stressed and wanted to hurry up. It is a popular establishment after all, and others might need a table. Using ink outlines would help me put things in place and give more definition. I could also take the opportunity to put in the grilles, there are at least 4 kinds of gates with different patterns. That was stressful until I realised that once I figured out one section of a repeating pattern, I could complete drawing the gates with relative ease. I still made some mistakes in some of the patterns, and I have to live with it and carry on. At the same time, I continued deepening the blacks and adding more details as I went along. A white gel pen was used to draw in the white gate.</div><div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTUEhfAgdVyvKnAyNRejG34mcqU9Pa83cuAsOUlkwKSCxgd6tQ5EiynfiEW6id_MNVq7HlgP5ulR4CLN7fO99LeAvHVlkgpA7cwkoAz43arY4aE5sXv2AmV36OBe8gkouUb39SMicFss0/s2048/201CB0F2-5B1A-4FE0-AE75-D96716B1F830.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTUEhfAgdVyvKnAyNRejG34mcqU9Pa83cuAsOUlkwKSCxgd6tQ5EiynfiEW6id_MNVq7HlgP5ulR4CLN7fO99LeAvHVlkgpA7cwkoAz43arY4aE5sXv2AmV36OBe8gkouUb39SMicFss0/w400-h300/201CB0F2-5B1A-4FE0-AE75-D96716B1F830.jpeg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">© Favian Ee, Apr 2020</span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div>I probably spent around 3 hours or so in the restaurant eating and sketching, so I took some photos to touch up the sketch in my hotel room. We were on staycation just across from the restaurant. I’m not in the habit of sketching my food because I like to eat it while it’s hot, so I added it in later. Added more details and deepening of the blacks too. I decided to draw without measuring my scene this time as I felt I could get away with some inaccuracies because of the business of the scene, and if I went for accuracy, I might not be able to fit as much into my A5 sketchbook. Instead I noted the proportions and relative positions of items by eye (it takes some practice and experience) and took note of positional markers, such as how the 3 seats’ tops were more or less aligned horizontally, etc.</div><div><br /></div><div>At this point I still felt it was unfinished. The food had not been drawn properly and the left and right chairs lacked definition. The food needed shadows, texture, form, colour. Photographs were used to finish drawing that. The trolley on the right needed darker surfaces to differentiate it from the ground. So a few final touch ups were in place. Pity I cannot correct the mistakes in the gate patterns, but because of the business of the scene, not many will notice that.</div><div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT0jJZIvyYNMNWQU5MIm9WcSLksM9kZBwPW2f7RKNPs7U29oWPw1oRYoXoYecQIxPtPb1VtwwXFHtFmV9z4HlNqtJ9IzCwZZEuEybQvrArCK9TtuUVG5zGT_lA5itgXGmOrQi0pU1OvZU/s2048/6575BB74-608A-4112-BD8D-BFD1CAC66414.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT0jJZIvyYNMNWQU5MIm9WcSLksM9kZBwPW2f7RKNPs7U29oWPw1oRYoXoYecQIxPtPb1VtwwXFHtFmV9z4HlNqtJ9IzCwZZEuEybQvrArCK9TtuUVG5zGT_lA5itgXGmOrQi0pU1OvZU/w400-h300/6575BB74-608A-4112-BD8D-BFD1CAC66414.jpeg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Completed sketch, © Favian Ee, Apr 2020</span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div>Just some advice for drawing complicated scenes:</div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Start with the biggest shapes.

My friend KC Lee has recently taken it upon himself to chronicle that journey. Given away while he was an infant, he traces the contours of his life and his struggles through his adventures as an artist and businessman, and through marriage and fatherhood in a 17.5 metre-long sketch-autobiography (the original being 88m long and featured in the Malaysia Book of Records). He tells of his long search for his biological family, and how by a strange twist of fate, his biological father was - unknown to them both - at one point a colleague of his.</p><p>Here are some photos of the book. Mind you it’s no small paperback, and it’s one continuous page so I can’t stretch it out in its entirety. It would be longer than the length of my flat!</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg967-t87er5_b538DZd-1E0Zi_qkdauUu5kypYG2-RjM8VQ1m05P3xSP-vzGJo-1XAfSaaa6awtbPPQJt7cz5qN1Jnz9TW3M9mq5kYmni1J1xGnPOl_GfkvuxlaHqN5nU0v8TxGxx154/s2048/9A13D82B-931C-41F0-B3EF-76136E64A442.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto;

I came down with some slight cough and sore throat towards the end of March and was ordered to stay home for 5 days. If I was caught going out, I could have been issued a $10,000 fine. So I started drawing a comic a day, expecting to just do 5 days' worth of comics.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then the Circuit Breaker happened. We were on semi-lockdown for a month. So the comics continued.</div>

Not too long ago shestarted creating videos about her sketching journey and they've been very interesting! She's quite prolific too! I got to know her when she first joined one of our sketchwalks at Punggol waterfront several years ago and we have traveled to several sketching events over the years with other sketcher friends. So without further ado, here is <i>Eurekawanders </i>Alice Lim!<br />

<b>When and how did you start travel sketching?</b><br />
<br />
<b> </b>I did my first travel sketch during my trip to Vienna and Prague in 2014. I was already urban sketching then and I didn’t want to stop so I brought my gear over.<br />

<b>What do you enjoy about it?</b><br />
<br />
It’s a good way to make full use of my waiting time and when I sketched a place I remembered it better than when I just take a photo.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Where have you traveled to sketch before?</b><br />
<br />
Sketching trip: I have attended the Penang sketchwalk, all the asialinks (Bangkok, Kuching, Taichung, Hanoi) and there was also Amaravati.<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>Which country was your favourite to sketch and why?</b><br />
<br />
For sketching subject I would say Hanoi cos the architecture was interesting with the different building levels built on top of each other in an unexpected way. For sketching experience it would be Taichung cos the food was great and people were friendly.<br />

<b>What is your usual process?</b><br />
<br />
I normally do a pencil draft to make sure the perspective and composition is ok before inking. Then a quick watercolour wash.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>How do you sketch when traveling with other people or on tour?</b><br />
<br />
I have shared some tips in my YouTube video (https://youtu.be/ma0xExiIVTQ). Generally if it’s a tour or if my friends have planned the itinerary then I wouldn’t be so hard on myself if I don’t sketch. If I plan the trip I will sneak in a lot of cafe breaks at scenic places. I do get a lot of sketching done from around the hotels that I stayed in<b>.</b><br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Can you share one memorable experience with us?</b><br />
<br />
<b> </b>I can’t think of a specific one. I have made friends with people who stopped by to watch me sketch and I have received appreciation in a form of cookies and drinks.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Do you have any advice or tips for people who want to try travel sketching?</b><br />
<br />
<b> </b>Start small with a A6 sketchbook and pen. Bring the kit with you in your carry on bag. Keep yourself inconspicuous (like while sitting in a cafe or park bench) and sketch. Remember to write down the location, sign and date your work to help you remember when you look back at your old sketches.<br />

Its history is closely tied to Singapore’s history. It is said that the last king of Singapura (Singapore’s old name), Parameswara (Sultan Iskandar Shah, but <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parameswara_(king)" target="_blank">historical records vary</a>) fled an Majapahit invasion and founded the new city. Like Singapura (meaning “lion city” being named after it was founded by a <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sang_Nila_Utama" target="_blank">Palembang prince</a> who reportedly saw a lion after surviving a storm en-route by casting his crown into the sea), Melaka got its name from the Melaka tree Parameswara was resting under when he saw how a brave mousedeer kicked his hunting dog into the water. He took it as a good omen (probably after having to flee a powerful enemy) and the rest is history. That was in 1402. Over the years, it grew into a regional power establishing alliances with China during the Ming Dynasty<br />
<br />
Over the centuries, Melaka’s spice position along the spice trade route became the desire of European powers. The Portuguese were the first to conquer the city in 1511, followed by the Dutch in 1641, who later ceded the city to the British in 1824 in exchange for Bencoolen on Sumatra. In 1948, Melaka became part of the Federation of Malaya (today Malaysia) which gained independence from British rule in 1957 after World War II.<br />
<br />
Vestiges of colonial and pre-colonial Melaka can still be seen, including the tombs of its early heroes. Historical records and verification can be rather sketchy at parts, but interesting nonetheless. In recent years, a book was published documenting pre-1402 Melaka. The findings are controversial to some, but others think the writer builds a strong case.<br />
<br />
I visited Melaka as part of my school history trip in 1993. I have fond memories of that trip. It was probably the first time i got to design a T-shirt for a school activity, and I drew the Porta de Santiago gate below. I don’t remember where I got the reference photo from, since those were pre-Google days. I wish I still had that shirt.<br />
<br />
There are currently 3 sketches in his post which I did over 2 trips. They were done in simple linework using Platinum Preppy fountain pens. I will update with more should I get the chance to visit again. There are other places I would like to draw such as Kampong Morten, Bukit Cina, Jonker Walk, and other historical sites and places of interest.<br />

This gateway is almost all that remains of the once impregnable Portuguese fortress, the A’Famosa, whose walls once circled the city. Behind the fort is St Paul’s Hill, on top of which is the remains of St Paul’s Church which I sketched in the third sketch below. This is a popular tourist spot, but less crowded on weekdays. There’s a mall opposite if you need respite from the heat. I took cover under a tree while sketching this and a bird bombed my sketch pouch. Fortunately the drawing was unscathed.</div>

Red is the colour of the <a href="http://www.malacca.ws/attractions/dutch-square-melaka.htm" target="_blank">Dutch Square</a>. On the left is the clocktower. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christ_Church_(Melaka)" target="_blank">Christ Church</a> (an Anglican church) is in the middle, and the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stadthuys" target="_blank">Stadthuys</a> (an old Dutch word for "Town Hall") is to the right, said to be the oldest and largest surviving Dutch colonial building in the East. Once the official residence of Dutch governors and officials, it now houses the Museum of History and Ethography. Services are still held in the church, which are open to public. This square sits at the gateway to the famous <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonker_Walk" target="_blank">Jonker Walk</a>, which has become a very touristy shopping street. Jonker Walk comes alive from Friday nights all through Sunday as street stalls ply their wares and feed visitors. Garish trishaws decorated with cartoon characters and plush toys while blasting loud music (if you can call that music) crowd around the Dutch Square where they pick up and drop off passengers.</div>

On a hill behind the Porta de Santiago is the roofless <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Paul%27s_Church,_Malacca" target="_blank">St Paul's Church</a>. I drew this piece on a different trip. To the right is a white statue of the Jesuit missionary St Francis Xavier. You may notice he is missing his right hand. Legend has it that it was sculpted with the hand, but the sculptor didn't realise that the saint's hand was removed for him to be canonized. "Miraculously", during a thunderstorm, a tree fell and lopped the hand right off the statue. That was the story I was told by our tour guide when I visited in 1993. It was one of several stories of the miracles of St Francis Xavier. Inside the church, you will find a burial vault and several large tombstones. </div>

It’s a small 2-room flat with a floor area of 45 sqm. Renovating this space would be the most expensive and largest project I had ever undertaken. Needless to say, a lot of planning was necessary, and being able to draw was a huge plus. My concept sketches were not exactly to scale, but roughly based on the measurements I took at the showflat (which was larger than the actual flat, I think), but the idea was there and I could use them to show my ID what I wanted. You can take a look and see what compromises I had to make due to space constraints in the end.<br />

Maybe I'll do another round of sketches of my flat now that it's completed, but being able to draw was really helpful. You don't need to draw well to communicate your ideas. A few fundamental skills (eg. proportion, perspective, texture, tone, colour) will get you a long way and these are things that can be learned.</div>

One of the highlights of being an Urban Sketcher is to capture disappearing places. As the old gets replaced by the new, more and more spaces go missing. These spaces are holders of memories. We ate and drank here. We loved and broke up there. We brought our children and parents there. We lived and died here. When those spaces are removed, we feel displaced. Call it "nostalgia" if you like. I call it "home".<br />
<br />
I've tried to capture some of these places in my sketches, particularly in my Perfect Sketchbook B5. Why that particular sketchbook? Cos I spent so much on it, and even went and bought the frame specially designed to hold the sketchbook for another tidy sum. The sketches had to be meaningful, worthy for such an investment.<br />
<br />
I'd like to share some of those sketches here. Over time I might add some more.<br />
<br />
Enjoy.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b><br />Pearl Bank Apartments</b><br />
The unusual horseshoe-shaped tower of Pearl Bank Apartments used to stand atop Pearl’s Hill, overlooking Chinatown and Outram Park. Inspired by Brutalist architecture, it was designed by Singaporean architect Tan Cheng Siong and completed in 1976. It was the first all-housing project to be undertaken in the Urban Renewal Department of the Housing and Development Board’s Sale of Sites programme, and the first residential development in Singapore to employ the slip-form construction technique. At 113m, it was the tallest residential building in Singapore when it was built. It was first put up for en bloc sale in 2007 and was sold only in 2018 after 2 failed bids. Demolitions for redevelopment of this icon started in 2019.<br />

Located at Gambas Avenue at the edge of Sembawang and Yishun, Sembawang Hot Spring is the only natural hot spring on mainland Singapore. It was discovered in 1909 by Seah Eng Keong in his pineapple estate. Fraser & Neave (F&N) acquired the site in 1922 and sold bottled water from the spring under the brand Seletaris. Many locals came to the spring to enjoy the hot water and soothe their aches and pains. The spring was closed in 2018 as the area underwent redevelopment into Sembawang Hot Spring Park, which is scheduled to open in late 2019.<br />

Just behind KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital (formerly Kandang Kerbau Hospital) stood Kampong Java Park, a haven of peace and tranquility where patients could enjoy a pocket of nature in the city as they underwent their treatments. Formerly a Christian cemetary, the area was developed into a park which opened in 1973. It was the first park to have ornamental lighting, made of steel poles and plastic light covers along its footpath. The park was closed in 2018 to make way for an expressway tunnel.<br />

That's how long it's been since I last came to Melaka (also spelled "Malacca"). This place will always hold fond memories because I came here for my school's history trip in 1995. Some things never change here. Some things change beyond recognition.<br />

<h3>
History</h3>
Melaka was founded by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parameswara_(king)">Parameswara</a>, the last ruler of Singapura (Singapore, back in the day) who fled the island circa 1400 A.D. and founded <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malacca">Melaka</a>. Over the years Melaka had close ties with China. The great admiral <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zheng_He">Cheng Ho </a>of the Ming Dynasty made voyages here, and some Chinese made their home here too, including <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hang_Li_Po">Hang Li Poh</a>, a royal princess who married <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mansur_Shah_of_Malacca">Sultan Manshur Shah</a>.<br />
<br />
In 1511, the Portuguese conquered Melaka, and in 1641 the Dutch defeated the Portuguese and took over. Architecture from these periods still survive, the most famous of all being the <a href="http://malacca.attractionsinmalaysia.com/Porte-De-Santiago.php">Porta de Santiago</a>, the only remaining gateway of the great Portuguese fort the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Famosa">A'Famosa</a>, and also the only remaining Portuguese fortification from that period in Southeast Asia. Just behind that is the <a href="http://www.malacca.ws/attractions/dutch-square-melaka.htm">Dutch Square </a>with its iconic red buildings.<br />

The British took over in 1824 when the Dutch ceded Melaka to them in
exchange for Bencoolen in Sumatra, Indonesia. The Dutch concentrated
their efforts and power in Indonesia while the British focused on Malaya
and Singapore, building ports along the trade route and creating the
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straits_Settlements">Straits Settlements</a>.<br />
<br />
You might ask what's with the Malaya-Malaysia thing? Is it some typo or discrepancy? Well, Singapore and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysia">Malaysia </a>share a political history. "Si" was added to "Malaya" after <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Malaya">Malaya </a>gained independence from the British in 1957 and after Sabah, Sarawak and Singapore were added to the Federation in 1963. The name stayed even after Singapore separated in 1965.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
Connections</h3>
Melaka together with Penang and Singapore formed the Straits Settlements of the British empire in Southeast Asia. The architecture from British colonial times is similar across the 3 places, and they share the same <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peranakan">Peranakan </a>(Straits Chinese) heritage, which is unique to Malaysia and Singapore. However, closer to home, part of my family came from Melaka, having arrived from China years earlier. Here I am at Jonker Walk in front of my great-grandmother's house!<br />

<h3>
Changes</h3>
Some years back the Malaysian Government considered shutting Jonker Walk, the main shopping weekend night market in the old town area. Of course, there was much opposition, and Jonker Walk was spared. Officially the road is now named Jalan Hang Jebat after an old hero from the sultanate days. But Jonker Walk has undergone some changes, the most noticeable being how Sinocentric it has become. The Malaysian flag and the Chinese flag are printed on the facade of a building with a Chinese restaurant at the entrance to Jonker Walk. Another reminder of the Malaysia-China relations and partnership is engraved in stone near the Melaka river. If you walk down the street on a weekday, Chinese tourists are plenty, and Chinese shops selling goods made in China (a la Miniso) are a dime a dozen. It feels like the local wares have been replaced or outnumbered by the influx of Chinese products and hipster cafes.<br />
<br />
The gateway to Jonker Walk is flanked by a Chinese Restaurant, Hard Rock Cafe, and a modern white building occupied by H&M against the backdrop of old Peranakan houses. I find them rather an eyesore. Added to the cacophony of colours and noise are garish Trishaws with flashing lights (at night) and decorated with cartoon characters from Hello Kitty, to Minions, to Frozen, to Baby Shark.<br />

Not all the changes are bad, though. We had a wonderful breakfast at one of those new cafes in a Peranakan house decorated with vintage local furniture and objects. It was really nice, air-conditioned, and the food was so cheap! Just 18RM for eggs benedict, which is just about $6 SGD! (see below)<br />

Unchanges</h3>
Singapore has our Kampong Lorong Buangkok. Melaka has its Kampong Morten. The last time I came to Melaka we only saw the kampong from across the river from the boardwalk. The walkway on the kampong side was still being constructed. This time we went into the kampong twice. The first day we went to take a look, and realised they conducted free tours, so we went back the next day. It was well worth the trip. The free tours are only for 2 years. We also visited the Villa Sentosa, the house of the family of the kampong's founder, Mr. Othman, and was given a tour by his descendent.<br />

You can get to Kampong Morten via the River Cruise or on foot. It's a long walk but you get to see much along the way, especially in the evening when the lights along the Melaka River come on. There are many cafes and eateries along the river.<br />

Food</h3>
Being a trade hub over the centuries, Melaka, like Penang and Singapore, is a melting pot of cultures. Food here is good and affordable. Peranakan food, of course, is one of the unique features of the culinary culture in these parts. We hunted down <a href="http://www.eatatnancyskit.com/">Nancy's Kitchen</a>, which had moved from Jonker Walk to its new location about 1km away 2 years back.<br />

One of the famous dishes at Jonker Walk is the chicken rice ball. I'm not that much a fan, but it's a novelty thing to me.<br />

Our favourite breakfast place was Daily Fix along Jonker Walk as previously mentioned. The Rose Latte (latte with rose syrup) was really nice too.<br />

I managed 2 sketches during this trip. It wasn't quite a sketching trip after all. I brought 3 sketchbooks and during the first sketch, a bird bombed one of my unused sketchbooks which was in my pouch. I threw that sketchbook away. It wasn't expensive anyway. That's the risk you take for sitting under shade. It did rain during our stay, which was the first shower in a long while, and it drizzled on the third day, which cooled things down from the roasting first 2 days. I wanted to draw my great grandmother's house but there was nowhere to sit opposite it except next to some smelly dustbins. I settled for drawing the Porta de Santiago and the Dutch Square. Each sketch probably took 2+ hours, and each sketch was marred by a leaky fountain pen.<br />

Ms. Kwok, as she is otherwise known, has only been drawing for about 2 years and is becoming a very seasoned sketchpacker! I love her sketches in her trusty Midori Traveler's Notebook, and the notes that accompany them. She also uses different typography and calligraphy, and makes good use of white space, which makes her pages very easy on the eyes. To top it off, she's a pretty good writer, and reading her sketch journals is a real treat. Without further ado, here is Ms. Kwok!<br />

<b>Tell us a bit about yourself.</b><br />
<br />
I’ve always found this question difficult. I’ve been so many different versions of myself at different points in my life that it would take more than a paragraph to adequately describe who I am! I have a degree in environmental engineering and a diploma in pastry making. I worked in an Italian restaurant for a while before my current job as a government employee. I enjoy working with my hands which explains my hobbies of cooking, sewing, English calligraphy, flower arrangement, drawing and most recently, playing the guitar. I’m an avid reader because I can escape to a different place and time from within the pages of a book - useful for times when it isn’t time yet for the next trip. If I pared myself down to the bare essentials, I would describe myself as minimalist, reliable and curious.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>When and how did you begin sketching and sketchpacking?</b><br />
<br />
It all started when my aunt gifted me with a Midori Traveler’s Notebook for Christmas in 2015. I’ve always wanted one but the steep price held me back. Now that I was the proud owner of a Traveler’s Notebook, I wanted to be worthy enough to write or draw in it but my drawing skills were non-existent. So, I decided to teach myself how to draw! For the entire year of 2016, I carried out Project Sketch 365 and posted a sketch on Facebook every day. In the midst of it, I learnt how to draw. I brought my Notebook with me on all my travels so sketchpacking can also be said to have started in 2016.<br />

<b>Which is your favourite location and why?</b><br />
<br />
I have great memories sketching in all these countries but if I had to choose I would definitely say Japan! It is my favourite place to visit as there are so many things to do and see. The country is clean, organized and a breeze to travel around in. The food is fantastic and the people are extremely kind. I tend to travel in spring and autumn so the weather is always comfortable for outdoor sketching. Since my first trip to Japan in 2015, I’ve returned every 6 months. Japan calls to me and unfortunately for my pocket, I always answer.<br />

<b>Where would you like to sketchpack to in future and why?</b><br />
<br />
I would like to return to England to sketch! I enjoy cities with long histories, so London fascinates me. There are many art museums to visit and architecture to sketch. There are also warm scones and clotted cream to be enjoyed with a large pot of Earl Grey tea.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>What kind of traveler would you say you are?</b><br />
<br />
I am a languid traveler. I see no need to conquer peaks or go rafting down a rapid. I do not jump off cliffs or dive off planes. I travel at a leisurely pace and feel the happiest walking around museums or neighbourhoods where I can see life as it really is in that country, instead of what their tourism board wants me to see. I also have an intense dislike for large groups of tourists, so I tend to avoid tourist traps.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>What are your packing essentials (not only art materials)?</b><br />
<br />
Besides the obvious items like passport, smart phone and chargers, I always bring a novel, my traveler’s notebook and moisturizer. There is a lot of waiting involved in traveling and that’s where a good novel comes in handy. I use my traveler’s notebook to record my journey and keep other bits and bobs like ticket stubs and receipts. I am prone to having dry skin whenever I travel so moisturizer is also an absolute essential.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>What's your travel wardrobe like?</b><br />
<br />
I travel monochrome because everything matches and you automatically look chic. I pack white shirts/blouses, black or dark coloured bottoms, a sweater and a scarf. Dark coloured bottoms are great especially if you are going to be sitting on the ground sketching. I’ve recently added a bucket hat to my travel wardrobe; useful for preventing sunburn when you are sketching outdoors.<br />

<b>What are your preferred sketching tools and what do you like about them?</b><br />
<br />
I love using Micron pens (01 and 03) for drawing as they produce dark black lines and dry quickly. The ink is also waterproof and allows me to apply watercolour after. I use Pental’s Aquash Water Brush and Winsor & Newton’s Professional Watercolour for applying colour. I travel sketch directly into my Traveler’s Notebook as the paper is sturdy enough to hold up to watercolour, hence there is no need for me to bring an additional sketchbook.<br />

<b>Why do you travel and why do you sketch on your travels?</b><br />
<br />
I travel because there is so much of the world to see. I travel to see and learn about different ways of life. I travel to seek beauty in nature and to marvel at human ingenuity. I travel to experience a stranger’s unexpected act of kindness. Most importantly, I travel to learn about myself.<br />
<br />
I travel sketch because it allows me to remember the experience in greater detail. Once you draw something, it’s yours forever. Travel sketching also helps to break down language barriers in foreign countries and win you new friends. Anyone can understand a picture regardless of language. I’ve started conversations with strangers before by showing them where I’ve been. Everyone likes a bit of show and tell!<br />

<b>What are your favourite subjects?</b><br />
<br />
I prefer drawing buildings rather than nature. I like clean, simple straight lines in my sketches, so the overall effect is uncomplicated and unfussy. People are fascinating subjects but they move too much! I only draw people if they are sitting still in front of me for a period of time, such as when they are sleeping, reading or just spacing out.<br />

<b>How does sketching add to your travel experience?</b><br />
<br />
Compared to simply taking a photo, I find that sketching allows me to be more mindful and aware of the scene in front of me. Flip to any page of my travel journal and I can tell you how I felt at the point in time when I drew the scene. In Nagoya, I remember pausing my sketch as a newly married couple and their entourage emerged from the shrine I was sketching. I remember the smell of incense as I sketched the dragon on top of a temple in Taiwan. I remember the Muslim call to prayer that rang out across the Borobudur temple complex as I hurried to finish my sketch before it got too dark to see. If anything else, sketching definitely enriches my travel experience.<b> </b><br />

<b>Tell us a little about your process.</b><br />
<br />
I walk around the scene first to decide on the vantage point from which I wish to draw from. I then pick a shady spot and make sure I’m not in the way of pedestrians or traffic. I start sketching with a pencil outline before committing to ink, and finally finish up with watercolour. I tend to leave most of my urban sketches in ink as it reflects my style of simplicity and minimalism. I will, however, colour in my food sketches as colour really helps to convey the mouth-watering quality of the dish. Lastly, I include my thoughts on the subject drawn. I believe these little notes add a personal touch to my work and tell a little story about what I feel at that point in time.<b> </b><br />

<b>What advice would you give to someone who wants to sketchpack?</b><br />
<br />
Pack light and pare your equipment down to the essentials. A foldable chair would allow you to sketch more comfortably but it becomes an extra weight when you’re not sketching and another item you could possibly lose as you travel. All you really need is your sketchbook, a pen or pencil, your paint palette and brush. The rest are unnecessary. When traveling and also in life in general, I have found that the less things you have, the less things you have to worry about. <b> </b><br />
<br />
<br />
<b>A lot of people say they wish they could draw but don't know how or are
afraid to start. What advice would you give to someone who would like to
start sketching but doesn't know where to begin?</b><br />
<br />
The beginning is always the hardest. If you're afraid to start something
because you're worried about failing, you'll never get anywhere. A
mistake is proof that you tried. I have received a lot of kind comments
telling me that I'm talented. I like to reply
that it really isn't so, but what I have more of are perseverance
and persistence. I think these two traits will get you quite far in
life. So if you are afraid to start sketching, I would say worry less
and just do it. So what if it looks like chicken
scratch? If you keep at it faithfully, one day it will stop looking like
chicken scratch and you'll come to the very remarkable realization that
you can indeed draw!<br />

Day 3: Peak District - Edale and Mam Tor</h3>
<br />
Ever since I visited the Peak District 2 years ago, I've wanted to go back. Back then I only managed a short stroll at Dovedale when we drove up to my aunt's lodge near Matlock Bath. I hoped to go on a longer hike this time. I picked the Dark Peaks, specifically Mam Tor near Edale, since it was easily accessible via train from Manchester. Three of my friends came along.<br />

I originally wanted to go down the other side to Castleton, but we got
caught in the rain at the peak, and my friends opted to backtrack to
Edale. Pity. So we made our way down and went over to the Rambler Inn
for some snacks and sketches before going back to Manchester.<br />

I stupidly left all of my whistles in my friends' room and only had one C fife with me. But no matter. I sketched instead of played as I enjoyed the music.<br />

<h3>
Day 4: The Symposium Begins!</h3>
Finally it begins!<br />
<br />
The Symposium started off with a meeting for the instructors, of which I was one. I lugged all my luggage from my AirBnb accoms nearby and was kindly given a lift to the provided accoms for instructors and delegates like myself. We were pretty much left to ourselves to sketch around the city (there was a sketchwalk going on, but I only loosely followed it). I ended up along the canals at Castlefield. It was pretty cold as I sat sketching the red-brick buildings and boats along the canal. In the evening we made our way to the Town Hall for the opening ceremony.<br />

I had just visited Bangkok in November 2016 for the inaugural AsiaLink Sketchwalk. Within 3 months I was back again. It is extremely rare that I would visit a same location in such a short duration, but the urgency to make this trip meant it could not be delayed - Mahakan Fort Community was going to be torn down.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.lonelyplanet.com/thailand/bangkok/attractions/mahakan-fort/a/poi-sig/408064/357640">Mahakan Fort</a> is one of 2 remaining fortifications on Rattanakosin Island in Bangkok. It stands at the gateway to the royal city. To the south of the fort lies a community that is said to be about 2 centuries old. It is unique, with houses made of wood and zinc, some 2 storeys high. The community has occupied the space for over a century, but, as I learned, they were renting the land from the land owners, who had since sold the plot to the local government. The government has been trying to evict the community for the last 20 years, intending to turn the area into a public park. Several houses had already been demolished before I visited in November and the date for further demolition was scheduled for February. Hence I made the trip back in January 2017 to sketch the place one last time, and to learn about the situation at the fort.<br />
<br />
<h3>
<b>Day 1: Arriving in Bangkok</b></h3>
I booked a night flight, since I had to work in the morning. I was determined to travel without check-in luggage, but I was not a light packer and the bags I had were not terribly light either. So instead of paying for check-in luggage on my budget flight, I spent more money buying a new bag and a photographer's vest. Barely made it past customs! I think my new Cabin Zero bag and my daypack totalled 9.9kg after I removed my SLR and plastic folder and iPad. It was a huge relief. But it also meant that I couldn't go shopping for souvenirs unless I wanted to pay for more luggage weight. I spent the 2-hour flight recalling and drawing the contents of my bags.<br />

After having dinner at the airport, I decided to take a cab to my hotel. I got my room at a really good rate. After my ordeal during my last trip, I scoured the room for signs of bedbugs. To my horror, I found one in a corner! I immediately requested a change of room, which they obliged. To be fair, it's a nice clean hotel with great location, and travelers can bring bedbugs in anytime. Thankfully my new room was clean and bedbug-free.<br />

<h3>
<b>Day 2: Sketching with Urban Sketchers, Thailand</b></h3>
<br />
I didn't get to try much street food during the last trip so I headed to a food street down the road from where I was staying for breakfast. Cheap and good! I did a sketch there too.<br />

After breakfast, I met up with my friends from the previous trip for a morning of sketching at Mahakan Fort Community. We could hear the headman making announcements over the amplifier. I was told he also told the residents of our visit.<br />

After dinner, my friends took me to the famous Khao San Road and the neighbouring Rambuttri Road. It's extremely touristy. Not my kind of thing. Loud music, street hawkers, tourist traps, crowds of caucasians and other foreigners... I composed a haiku once about places like these:<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Manicured spaces</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>The tourist travels abroad</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Never leaving home</i></div>
<br />
This was one of those typical Southeast Asian tourist traps made to appeal to western tourists. It is a culture of its own, but I find it inauthentic. I don't like loud music and crowds either. I see travel as a learning experience, and that means getting local, eating local food, experiencing local life and art. If all we do during your travels is huddle in tourist traps and shopping malls, I think we're really missing a lot and forming false impressions of our host country.<br />
<br />
Nevertheless these kinds of things are part of a country's tourist culture, and I appreciate that my friends brought me here to have a looksee. Watch out for pickpockets if you go tho'.<br />

We stopped for supper before going back. It's great to have friends in different countries, and I've made so many over the years being part of Urban Sketchers.<br />
<br />
<h3>
<b>Day 3: Sketching at Mahakan Fort</b></h3>
I was on my own again. This was my first true solo trip. I had breakfast at a streetside stall my Singapore friends tried during the previous trip. Noodle soup with mixed meats. Yum! After that, I had to get some of that coffee Oh bought for me the day before.<br />

First order of the day was a visit to Mahakan Fort Community again. I made the acquaintance of a resident by the name of Nuan (actually her nickname. Many locals have nicknames on top of their full names). She let me sit in her house to sketch and tried her best to make me comfortable.<br />

In her barely serviceable English, Nuan told me about her family. She had lived at Mahakan Fort Community all 40 decades of her life. Her parents moved in after they got married. Her mom had just passed on the week before and her dad was ill. She was proud to show me 2 watercolour pieces given to her and asked me to do a drawing of her, which I happily obliged. I met her daughter and her niece too.<br />

I went back to Mahakan Fort Community for more sketching and to take photos of the place at sunset. I popped by Nuan's place again. Her extended family was around (they share the house) and they were eating bugs. They offered me some but I declined, not because I'm afraid of eating bugs, but because Tae told me to be careful of those sold at Khao San Road as some may have been killed using insecticide.<br />

The rest of the afternoon was spent walking around the city, going down Khao San Road and Rambuttri Road again (this time in the daytime), while making my way to the riverside and Phra Sumen Fort.<br />

Dinner was across the road from Pom Phra Sumen at a newly reopened restaurant, Nopparat. It's a family-run establishment and I had a wonderful meal at an amazing price! The proprietor's son is an art student and he had painted a beautiful mural on the wall of the late King Bhumibol.<br />

<b>Day 5: Saying Goodbye </b></h3>
Breakfast on my last day was at a coffeeshop nearby since the food street seemed to be pretty much closed on a Saturday morning. I had a few things to accomplish today, the first was to search for and purchase a native Thai flute called the Khlui.<br />

I walked to Old Siam Plaza where my Bangkok friends told me I could find an instrument stall. Sure enough I did! The stall owner, Muth, told me he also did music for animation. He gave me a 200 baht discount on a beautiful piece I picked made of black payunt wood, which originally cost 2500 baht.<br />

After packing, I checked out and paid one final visit to Mahakan Fort Community on my way to the jetty to make my way to town. I said goodbye to Nuan and Khun Kob. Nobody knows if I'll ever see them again once the community is demolished.<br />

The ferry is a quick way to get into town via the khlongs (canals). Road traffic is notoriously horrible in Bangkok. The ferries are cheap and traffic-free. Only thing is the water is extremely dirty - maybe even toxic - so you want to protect your face since the ferries sit very low in the water.<br />

I went to town to visit a painter friend's exhibition. Boat was also having a watercolour demo. I had lunch at a mall and met Tae, Yukan, and another friend before heading to Chulalongkorn University with all my bags to see the demo and exhibition. Boat's work is simply AMAZING.<br />

After the exhibition, it was time to head to the airport. I took the Airport Rail Link, a monorail service that connects to Suvarnabhumi Airport. The express service was out so I took the normal service.<br />

Dinner was at the airport. I spent most of my baht on the khlui, and finished the rest of it on snacks. I sat next to a Swedish chap who had some bad food poisoning and was traveling to Singapore for a few days. My dad picked me up from Changi Airport and drove me home.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
<b>Post Script</b></h3>
If I were to sum up this trip in one word, it would be "preservation". I guess the lingering question is: Do we really need to demolish an entire community to create an open public park? I don't know the reasons behind the government's decision, but I haven't heard any good explanation. The way the authorities have chosen to carry out the demolition have riled more than a few feathers. The voices of supporters and lobby groups have pretty much fallen on deaf ears. Just a few days ago, demolition of several more houses began, including the 2-storey House 95 where I met some little children playing at the staircase.<br />
<br />
Urbanization always carries a price. Singapore faces it all the time. At least for us the demolition of old buildings is to make way for infrastructure, and not simply a park. We have more conservation here in Singapore, but it's the type of conservation that preserves the structure while removing its original character. In space-scarce Singapore, I guess we shouldn't complain too much since we do have some heritage after all, but so much is lost to urbanization, not the least of which is an older less hurried way of life, free from the trappings of consumerism and materialism.<br />
<br />
It is a shame the Mahakan Fort Community has to endure such a fate. The residents have no legal ownership of the land, and thus have little say. I'm glad to have been able to visit and sketch the place, and that many other artists have made effort to document the community and the quaint wooden houses, some of which have stood there for over a hundred years, but have fallen in minutes under the bulldozer. Where will the residents live? Is the compensation adequate? What will become of this space? Why did it have to happen?<br />
<br />
I have no answers, and answers don't seem to be forthcoming. The situation seems complex. Even if the government has every right to do what it wishes with the land that has been legally purchased, the lives involved and affected make things hard to swallow. There's really nothing I can do, and it seems selfish of me to have visited only to take in the place before it is gone, but hopefully what I've left behind are newly-forged friendships, and what I can share are thoughts of how we might want to think about urbanization, conservation, and preservation.<br />

I just ordered a new tool, and I figured why not do a review of a few travel-sized palettes that I own? Now, there are loads of travel palettes out there by different manufacturers in different configurations. These are by no means representative of all of them. They're just a few that I own and have tried. So let's get on with it!<br />

For size comparison, I've placed my Ashley 2000R travel brush (collapsed) next to the sets. The brush is 11.2 cm long with a diameter of 0.9 cm. It is made of red sable and is size 5, although that hardly means much since different brush makers number the sizes differently.<br />

Measuring roughly <i>12.7(l) x 6.2(w) x 3.4(h) cm </i>when closed, this set is pretty fat, but it's the perfect size for my magazine pouches on my SBO (Skeletal Battle Order). I used this several times when I went for reservist training. You cannot buy this as an empty box. It comes with 12 half-pans of either W&N's Cotman or Artist range. The Cotmans are student grade, so I won't recommend getting those. Better off getting the artist grade paints. If you are in UK, <a href="https://www.cassart.co.uk/painting/watercolour_paints/painting_sets/winsor_newton_artists_watercolour_field_box_half_pan_set_of_12_assorted_colours.htm">Cass Art</a> sometimes has great discounts for Winsor & Newton sets!<br />
<br />
The Field Box comes with the following:<br />
<ul>
<li>12 watercolour half-pans</li>
<li>1 water bottle</li>
<li>1 travel brush</li>
<li>3 mixing areas (1 on the water bottle)</li>
<li>1 water container (the cap)</li>
<li>1 small sponge (not shown here)</li>

The box opens up to give you 3 mixing areas. The cap of the box can be latched on as a water container. You can store a maximum of 14 half-pans in this set (it comes with 12) if you remove the sponge, which I never use. The bottom of the box has a ring that you can flip out for you to hold the box in one hand while painting in another<br />

The Field Box comes with a teeny weeny synthetic travel brush that is practically useless for proper painting. It might be useful for getting small details, but I doubt it's good for much else. I almost never use it. Just get a better travel brush.<br />
<br />
Pros:<br />
<ul>
<li>Keeps 14 half-pans</li>
<li>Self-contained with water container and bottle</li>
<li>Ring for holding the box </li>
</ul>
Cons:<br />
<ul>
<li>Pretty useless brush, but most brushes that come with sets are</li>

This was my very first watercolour set with pans. I bought it when I started urban sketching. It measures around <i>14.1 x 6.9 x 2 cm </i>and comes with 12 half-pans and a synthetic brush (size 4) that's not as tiny as the W&N Field Box's, but isn't terribly fantastic either. Cheap synthetic brushes seldom are. They don't have the water-holding capacity of real animal hair and tend to discharge their load of water and paint very quickly. But at under $30 SGD, this little baby was a good bargain. Daler Rowney also has a similar box under their Simply range for a few dollars less. Don't even bother with that one, cos Simply is lower grade than Aquafine, which is already student grade. These boxes don't come in artist grade colours though, which is a pity. They're pretty pocketable (duh!) and also have a ring at the bottom for easy holding. Winsor & Newton have a similar Cotman pocket box set that is slightly more compact.<br />

Unlike the W&N Cotman pocket box, the DR one has an extra groove at the top end. I'm not sure what that is for, but I squeezed more Aquafine colours from tubes into that space. I also squeezed some other colours into the mixing wells to expand my palette. The half-pans are removable.<br />

Although the cover says Rembrandt, this kind of tin is actually very common and several brands offer the exact size and configuration for their sets (Schmincke, Pebeo, etc.). I bought this as an empty tin for $20+, but you could get the same kind from Pebeo with 12 half pans of student grade colours at about the same price. The tin measures 12.5 x 7.2 x 2 cm and comes with a mount to secure your half pans inside. There's enough space to store at least 1 travel brush, which is sold separately.<br />

This tin is sturdy and has 3 large mixing areas and a plate with 6 smaller ditches for mixing. If you remove the mount and secure the half-pans with tape or blu-tack, this tiny box can fit over 20 half pans! Of course you'd have no space for the brush, but who cares? You can always keep the brush elsewhere.<br />

Like the 2 boxes above, this one also has a metal ring on the base to slip over your finger or thumb. It's a solid box, but because it's metal, it can dent, and the enamel may flake off after some time. If you treat the box well, it will serve you well for a long time.<br />
<br />

<ul>
<li>Can hold over 12 half-pans!</li>
<li>Compact with slim profile</li>

This gem is the brainchild of Steve Padden, a painter and a designer of multi-tools. It comes as an empty palette with 12 empty half-pans and a whole bunch of mixing wells. It's a well thought-out palette, but at 14 x 7.5 x 3.2 cm, it is the biggest of the palettes in this review. Unlike the earlier palettes, this one doesn't have a finger ring, but what it has are some other nifty features.<br />

The grey casing can be separated after removing the securing clip. The clip is the only metal bit on the set. The rest of it is plastic. The 2 halves of the casing serve as water containers and can be latched on to each side of the palette.<br />

The palette comes with a whopping 13 mixing areas. The half-pans are removable. Unlike the Aquafine pocket set, they are not very secure. You'll probably want to use some blu-tack to keep them in place.<br />

The palette comes with a nested synthetic brush that gives you 2 different-sized round heads. The brush groove can easily fit my Ashley 2000R travel brush. Thicker travel brushes may not fit in the groove.<br />

So, if you can't hold it to paint, where can you put it? Well, it boasts being able to stand on any surface. Guess that's the plus point for having 2 'legs' rather than just one flat base to sit on. But not only can it stand on its legs, its legs can be used to straddle your leg!<br />

It sits pretty securely on my leg at least. Not sure if your leg is much skinnier. If you have big thighs, I think doing this may be pretty difficult. But hey, it's the only palette out there that has this feature as far as I'm aware.<br />
<br />
At $30 USD on Indiegogo, this is a very affordable option. It is well-designed and sturdy. One drawback is that the water containers fit around the palette pretty tightly, which means if they are dirty with pigments, they may stain or dirty the outside of the palette when you put it all together. Also, there's no bottle like the W&N Field Box where you can store dirty water, but you can always bring your own bottle. You can always just bring the palette out if you prefer. It would occupy much less space and you won't have to worry about misplacing the metal clip.<br />
<br />
Pros:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Totally hands-free!</li>
<li>Loads of mixing wells</li>
<li>2 water containers</li>
</ul>
<br />
Cons:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Pretty big</li>
<li>Might not fit people with big thighs</li>
<li>Nowhere to store/dispose of dirty water from containers</li>
<li>Containers need to be cleaned before reassembly to avoid staining the outside of the palette</li>

This small metal tin is truly pocket-sized. It measures just 8.1 x 6.3 x 1.6 cm and still manages to fit a total of 12 half-pans. It's shorter than any travel brush out there, but nothing is stopping you from buying a normal brush and chopping off the handle. You'd just have to remove 4 half-pans to fit your brush.<br />

The half-pans are secured with V-shaped fasteners which slide inbetween each row of pans. It has a metal ring on the base and enamel mixing areas. With just 2 mixing wells, it is a bit low on mixing areas, but that should be fine if you're not dealing with too large paintings.<br />
<br />
I bought this box empty without any pans. The pans I bought separately and filled with paints from tubes. This set currently serves as my mixing primaries palette.<br />

<h3>
Water Containers</h3>
Most of these watercolour box sets don't come with a water container/bottle, except for the W&N Field Box. There are other sets that do. But really, you don't need to specially get a box that has one. You can use anything convenient as a water container from film cartridge boxes (a rarity these days), small bottles, or makeup containers. Just make sure they're water-tight! Here are 3 containers (out of several) on my desk. The one of them is a mini Nutella container. You can use mini jam jars, but glass is heavy. The plastic bottle on the right holds a fair bit of water and is watertight. You can get these from the dollar store or convenience stores or art stores. Or you can save your bottle of peanut butter after finishing up the contents. Or you can buy collapsible or nested water containers from your art/stationery shop. The options are limitless.<br />

I took a workshop with the amazing <a href="http://www.janeblundellart.com/">Jane Blundell</a>. She's a watercolour expert, and she taught us about mixing colours and achieving colour harmony using a limited palette. Most of the class saw us painting colour wheels using just 3 colours. But before that, she gave us a quick run through about some important primary colours:<br />

</tbody></table>
<br />
We've all learned about primary colours when we were little. Red, yellow, blue, when mixed in different degrees, produces all the colours of the rainbow. Red and yellow produces orange, red and blue produces purple, while yellow and blue produce green.<br />
<br />
But that is just the beginning.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
RGB or RYB?</h3>
What about computer colours? Why is it RGB (red, green, blue) and not RYB (red, yellow, blue)? Well, that has to do with how light behaves. Colour observed in paintings and prints are <i>subtractive</i>. That means when you add all the colours together, you get BLACK. This happens for <i>reflected light</i>. So when light is reflected off your paper, the pigments absorb different wavelengths of light and you see the reflected result minus the absorbed wavelength. Light from your computer monitor, on the other hand, is <i>additive</i>. That means when you add red, green, and blue, you get WHITE, just like white light can be split into a rainbow. That happens because your monitor is a <i>light source</i>. It is <i>producing </i>its own light, not simply reflecting light like your paper.<br />
<br />
One more tip: Our eyes can see a larger range of colours than can be represented with paints or on your colour monitor. Sometimes it may be hard to choose a colour that represents exactly what we see. But don't sweat it. In painting, all colour is representative. Our eyes are constantly adjusting to the changing conditions based on where we are looking and the lighting around us. There's no "true" colour, because the colour we observe of an object is always different at any point in time. Creating a painting is capturing a representation of a scene, even if we adopt a photorealistic style.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
Cool or Warm?</h3>
We are more concerned with paint pigments here. Non artists may just think in terms of red, yellow, and blue, orange, green, purple, brown, black, white. But there are an infinite number of varieties of each hue. One of the broad ways of categorizing colour is to describe them in terms of warmth. There are cool blues and warm blues, cool reds and warm reds, cool yellows and warm yellows, cool greens and warm greens. When we choose a palette of 3 primaries for mixing, we may choose all warms, all cools, or a mix. I created these reference cards as part of my <i>Sketchpacker </i>kit, and I bring them along in a namecard holder:<br />

<br />
<h3>
Colour Harmony</h3>
In each of the colour wheels, I used only 3 colours to achieve all the rest. To maintain harmony, you would want to use colours that fall within the colour wheel. For example, if I'm using Mixed Primaries 1, I can use Sap Green, because it falls within the range between the Hansa Yellow Medium and Ultramarine Blue, even though I didn't use Sap Green to paint the colour wheel. I might not want to use a very cool green like Pthalo Green straight out of the tube without mixing, because it would stand out like a sore thumb. That's generally speaking, of course. Flowers are examples of things with colours that may be vastly different from their surroundings. But even if their colours don't fit into a particular colour wheel, that doesn't mean colour harmony cannot be achieved.<br />
<br />
Observed colour is influenced by 3 things: 1) The object's inherent colour, 2) the colour of the light falling on and bouncing off the object, and 3) the colour of the environment bouncing off the object. For example, a red ball placed next to a blue cube will have a bit of blue spill on the side closest to the cube. A colour such as yellow seen under orange lighting will appear more orange, and that same lighting will make it harder to judge blues. I did a painting once in a pub with orange lighting and thought I coloured the skin tones accurately, but when I got out and into the MRT train, I got a shock of my life. I was painting the Simpsons!<br />

If you are aware of how the colour of the object, lighting, and environment affects a scene, you're in a better position to achieve colour harmony.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Staining? Granulation? Opacity? Saturation/intensity? Tonal value? Fugitive?</h3>
Watercolours have other properties such as those mentioned above.<br />
<ul>
<li><b>Staining </b>- How easily your colours can be lifted off a paper using a clean brush and water. Colours which can't be lifted easily and leave a mark are more staining than those that can be lifted easily. Pigments that are ground more finely tend to be more staining. Staining colours tend to produce darker blacks.</li>
<li><b>Opacity and Transparency </b>- More transparent colours will allow the colours under them to show through more. Opaque colours will cover up what is under them more.</li>
<li><b>Granulation </b>- Some pigments will settle unevenly, giving a rough-looking texture that is desirable for some effects. Some pigments interact chemically to create granulation. The result looks somewhat "stoney".</li>
<li><b>Tonal value </b>- How dark a colour is. in the colour wheels above, you can see that Indigo is much darker than Ultramarine at full saturation.</li>
<li><b>Fugitive colours </b>- Some colours will fade when exposed to light. That is why you are not allowed to use flash photography in art galleries, and why your clothes fade after you dry them in the sun over a long period of time. Some colours fade more easily than others. Those colours are more fugitive.</li>
<li><b>"Hue"</b>s - Some watercolour names have the word "hue" appended at the back. That means that is not the true pigment, but a mix of pigments to approximate the original colour. A Cerulean Hue, for example, does not use true Cerulean pigments. Sometimes this is done because the original pigments are no longer available, or they are banned due to toxicity.</li>
</ul>

There's something charming about this faraway land for one living in a Southeast Asian country with a colonial past. When the English arrived in Singapore in 1819 and set up her trading post here, things changed for this little island at the southern tip of peninsular Malaysia and it would never be the same again. The English colonial masters brought their country and culture with them. Missing their home, they built buildings reminiscent of the architecture back home, cleared jungle and cultivated English-style gardens, introduced the Rule of Law, the English language, and driving on the left side of the road. Even after they left in 1965, their indelible footprint was left on this tiny island-city-state, and visiting England for me is to enter a world where the vestiges of our past is a present reality. The English made Singapore more like home as they knew it, and each time I visit England, it is visiting those origins, from the tudor houses to the Wren-esque architecture of St. Paul's, to the gardens at Kew and elsewhere.<br />
<br />
I had just visited England less than 2 years ago, and had little intention to return there so soon. The cost was prohibitive, especially for one who had quit his job and gone on a sabbatical just over half a year ago. But it was the annual Urban Sketchers Symposium, and I had the privilege of being a lecturer! It was an opportunity not to be missed.<br />
<br />
It seemed that these 2 trips to England happened at momentous times in British history. The last time I was there, Scotland had her referendum. Nothing changed, however, since Scotland voted to remain as part of the UK. This time, however, was Brexit, and the implications were many (even though now about 2 months later, Britain has yet to trigger Article 50 to initiate the process of leaving the EU. In 2014, I was based in Cambridge and stayed with my aunt. This time it was just a few months after that aunt passed away. I'm glad I got to visit her before she died.<br />

This would be a trip of many firsts. It would be my first time traveling pretty much alone for a few days, the first time I'm giving a lecture at the Urban Sketchers International Symposium, the first time I'm visiting this part of England. It promised to be an exciting adventure from the get-go, and I wasn't disappointed.<br />

<h3>
Day 1: SG > MAN</h3>
My flight to Manchester, UK was via Emirates, transiting at Dubai. It was pretty comfortable, and little did I realise that while I paid for 1 seat, I got 3 with extra leg-room! I sketched the view from my seat:<br />

Soon my 3 seats became 2 as the chap behind me decided to come forward for more leg room. He was a chatty Indian chap and we chatted a bit and with the air hostesses while they were seated for landing. The second leg of the journey, however, was less eventful as I was seated next to a university student from Malaysia who was going to UK for an exchange program with some 70 others on the same flight.<br />
<br />
Dubai was HOT! I transited there past midnight and the temperature was in the high 30s (Celsius). Funnily enough instead of boarding the plane from the air-conditioned comfort of the terminal, we had to take a bus way out onto the tarmac and board the plane from a flight of stairs. It was very warm, and I was dressed for colder temperatures with Uniqlo's heat-tech. It was uncomfortable, but we were off on our way soon enough.<br />

I landed in Manchester at around 8 a.m. Customs wasn't as bad as the famed Heathrow in London, but it still took at least half an hour to clear. I immediately regretted having to lug around a 25kg luggage with only 2 wheels, and that's on top of my daypack and a cabin haversack for an extra set of clothes in case my main luggage got lost. Next time I'm getting one with 4 wheels if I'm carrying around that amount of weight.<br />
<br />
The accomodations for the symposium were sponsored, but only for the duration of the event. Since I arrived earlier, I booked a room through AirBnB, but I couldn't check in till 5 pm because my host was working. Thankfully a friend of mine arrived the day before and checked in the hotel near a train station. I went over to offload my things and shower. I scrapped my plans to pay Chester a visit and spent the day in Manchester with Maria. We went about town looking for places to visit and things to sketch. It didn't take long to run into other sketchers who had already started. We joined in the fun at the John Ryland's Library.<br />

We thought of going to the art shop, but it was pretty far and I needed to check-in, so we went back to Maria's room to get my bags and I made my way to my accoms. Thankfully there was a direct bus! I dumped my things, had a good long chat with my host Jonathan, then went down the road for dinner. I had fish-and-chips, but it was a simple take-out place and I wasn't too impressed, especially since they dumped the fish right out of the fryer into a styrofoam box, and the heat from the fish melted the styrofoam it got into contact with. Yuks.<br />

Day 2: Liverpool</h3>
I had breakfast from a food van next to the park near where I was staying and the University of Manchester. Then I went to buy some musical instruments from the shop across the road - Irish whistles! Can't get those in Singapore. I left Manchester late for Liverpool cos of some breakdown in communication.<br />

After visiting the Walker Art Gallery, I walked round and headed back to St George's Hall where I had lunch and explored the rooms of the hall. It serves (served?) as a courtroom, complete with jail cells and judge's chambers, but also as a concert hall and venue for community events. The concert hall was closed the day I visited, unfortunately, so I didn't get to see a major part of the building...<br />

After exiting from St George's Hall, I made my way to the highlight of my visit to Liverpool - Liverpool Cathedral. This is the largest Anglican cathedral in UK, and the longest in the world. I cut through town and visited some Biennale spots, Cass Art, etc. and passed by the Blackie (formerly Great George Street Congregational Church, where Rev Thomas Raffles, cousin of Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles, founder of Singapore) along the way.<br />

I wish I had more time in Liverpool, but I had to go. I stopped by the mall for some ice-cream before heading back to Manchester for dinner and popped by Peveril at the Peak to catch up with some of the other symposium attendees.<br />

Our fellow sketchers from Indonesia probably got interested after seeing my <a href="http://sketchpacker.blogspot.sg/2014/09/sketching-george-town-ii-sketchpackers.html">sketch journal </a>of Sketching George Town 2 the year before, and thought it would be a good idea to have a workshop which combined urban sketching with visual storytelling. I was happy to do it, especially since I've never been to Bandung.<br />
<br />
Bandung is located in the mountains of West Java. It can get pretty sunny, but I found the weather less humid and hot than Singapore's. It rained a little while I was there, and I was recovering from a bad cough and cold. Nevertheless, traveling with a bunch of Urban Sketcher friends and others from around the region was an opportunity not to be missed. Here are the sketches from my trip with a handful of photos.<br />

Here's a blog post about the <a href="http://sketchpacker.blogspot.sg/2015/04/sketchpacking-bandung-beginnings-and.html">preps for my workshop</a>.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8294217966243456629.post-33638428291607152542016-04-13T20:21:00.003+08:002016-04-13T20:29:07.423+08:00Sketchpacking Hong KongI went to Hong Kong just over a year ago for a sketching trip but haven't uploaded the sketches till now. I was meaning to complete some of the pages that I didn't manage to during the trip, but life just got busier and busier. It's quite unlikely I'll revisit those sketches, but I've finally scanned the ones that I did manage to complete. Here they are!<br />
<br />
First, why Hong Kong? Well, I've been wanting to visit the place again. The last time I went was before the territory was handed back to China in 1997. Back then we landed in the old airport smack in the middle of the city. Pilots needed a special license to land in that tight space right in the middle of a congested residential area, I was told. So when I got to know some HKers and when my colleague asked if I wanted to go there for a sketching trip, I jumped at the opportunity. <br />

I sketched the scene above of the coast of Hong Kong Island from Kowloon with Kai Siang and Sandy. It took me about 2.5 hours to complete? That was the first drawing of the second day, and the first urban sketch of the trip. I put it on the second page as a "cover page", even though it was drawn on the second day.<br />
<br />
On the first day, we met up with Alvin near where we were staying at Austin. He took us around Tsim Sha Tsui and up to Mongkok. Alvin is one of the leaders of USK-HK. It was a pleasure catching up with him after Sketching George Town 2 in Penang the previous year.<br />

Alvin took us to visit Bruce Lee and Anita Mui at the Avenue of Stars along Victoria Harbour. There was a memorial to Leslie Cheung too, who killed himself on 1 April 2003. We arrived on 2 April so the memorial was still standing when we were there. He was an immensely popular singer.<br />

After our tour of the harbour, we headed up north. Alvin brought us to an art shop and to have some famous milk pudding. I almost left my Timbuk2 bag of drawing materials behind!!<br />

On the second day, we met up with my friend Sandy. Sandy took leave the few days we were there to accompany us around and join us for sketching. It was great catching up with her after 3 years. <br />

After meeting some members of USK-HK for sketching at Graham Street Market, the three of us headed up to Victoria Peak to catch views of the city at night. Unfortunately it was so foggy we could hardly see anything at all!<br />
<br />
The next day we took a bus out to Stanley, which is a somewhat upmarket coastal town near the famed Repulse Bay, one of Hong Kong's premium residential areas.<br />

After church, we met up with Alvin again and a group of Urban Sketchers for a sketchwalk. We had lunch in a traditional Hong Kong "cha chaan teng" (teahouse). One of the strange drinks quite common there was boiled coke with ginger and lemon. Good for colds, I'm told. We went for a sketchwalk after that.<br />

After the sketchwalk, the 3 of us went back up to Victoria Peak to catch the sunset and try to see the city lights again. This time we were fortunate. The sky was clear and there was no fog. We got our photos and came down for dinner at The Dining Room at Causeway Bay. That was our last night in Hong Kong. The next morning we would have breakfast at Dim Dim Sum below our apartment before flying back to Singapore.<br />

Here are the earlier posts and photos from the trip:<br />

Cameron Highlands is known as the "Golden Bowl of Malaysia" and home to a vibrant farming and famous tea production industry. It is also home to the highest peak in peninsular Malaysia, Gunung Brinchang. The last time I went there was in 2001 on a road trip with some friends. This time I went there not to sight-see or sample the fresh produce and tea of the area, but for a more specific purpose - I went for a personal retreat. We did do a little bit of sightseeing, but we spent more than half our time there in our room looking inward and upward. The weather was cool and the air was clean. It was a wonderful time of praying, thinking, reading. I didn't do many sketches this time, but I finished a small sketchbook that I brought along. Here are the entries:<br />

Thankfully, I've just completed my sketches from New Zealand (actually all but 2 blank pages that I left out with intentions to draw my packing list). I'll put up the drawings from my earlier trips in the coming months, but here are the New Zealand sketches for now. Enjoy!<br />

That's all for now, folks! Kia Ora!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8294217966243456629.post-57735027444752366352015-08-24T23:50:00.000+08:002015-08-24T23:52:27.167+08:00Home-made Watercolour SketchbooksWhat inspired me to go through all the trouble to make my own watercolour sketchbooks? It's silly looking back at it. I was packing my sketching kit for my upcoming trip and thought that lugging a whole Moleskine watercolour journal would be a bit too much, so I figured since I had a sheet of Strathmore Imperial paper lying around, I might as well use that and make my own sketchbook. I didn't need a whole Moleskine's worth of pages after all, I reasoned. But when I discovered that I would only be able to get 13 A5-sized leafs (26 pages) out of one sheet, I realised I probably needed to make 2 books and bring only one out at a time.<br />
<br />
And so I did.<br />
<br />
I didn't take photos of the process, unfortunately, but here are some photos I did snap after making the first one. <br />

In the end, the 2 sketchbooks weigh more than 1 Moleskine. However, since I'm bringing only one around at a time, my purpose is still fulfilled.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8294217966243456629.post-56420819806696536202015-08-24T23:24:00.000+08:002015-08-24T23:54:34.306+08:00I'm Going on an Adventure!I've barely finished my sketches from my Hong Kong trip in April, Bandung trip in May, the Urban Sketchers Symposium in July, and my mini personal project over Singapore's Golden Jubilee weekend, and I'm about to embark on another trip! Whereabouts? Aotearoa - the Land of the Long White Cloud. A.k.a Middle Earth, a.k.a. New Zealand. This will be my last major trip in a while, I expect.<br />
<br />
I started putting together my sketch kit a few weeks back. I told myself that since I'll be going on a coach tour and staying at a different hotel every night or every few nights, I ought to keep things compact and light. And I'm not a light packer by nature, cos I tend to pack for contingencies. Then it happened. Again.<br />

Sigh....<br />
<br />
I guess that's the "packer" in Sketchpacker. And I haven't even included my marker set in the photo.<br />
<br />
Why so many things, you ask. Well, mainly because I draw in different styles. One of those styles happens to be the comic style I use for my Sketchpacker comic stories, and it uses a specific set of tools, namely felt-tip markers and pens (top row and 2nd row middle). It also requires A5 portrait format paper, hence 2x Daler Rowney Graduate sketchbooks (bottom left).<br />
<br />
But I'm going to New Zealand! Land of Hobbits and Elves! I can't visit the place without decent watercolour paper and materials! So in an attempt to lighten my daypack ever-so-slightly, I made 2 of my own watercolour sketchbooks (bottom right) using one sheet of watercolour paper each (1 sheet of Strathmore Imperial which I've had for a long time, and 1 sheet of Saunders Waterford). I'll be carrying only 1 about and leaving the other in the luggage till the first is finished.<br />
<br />
But watercolour paper is terrible for pencilwork! I found a landscape A5 Daler Rowney Graduate sketchbook, which I made by chopping an A4 one into half, sitting on the shelf.<br />
<br />
But what if I need something palm-sized? So the Perfect Sketchbook and the Seawhite A6 landscape (middle right) came to be in the kit - the first for watercolour, the second for dry media.<br />
<br />
The 2 small A6 notebooks at the bottom left are from Muji for writing notes.<br />
<br />
I'm such a SketchPACKER... I bet Bilbo didn't bring as many things on his adventure... And that's not mentioning my necessities, clothing, SLR + 2 lenses, and an Irish whistle. Packed in to 2 separate bags. I must be crazy...<br />
<br />
<br />
P.S. When a couple of friends found out I was going to NZ, they realised why I was bringing so many materials. Much to draw (I hope!) and not much chance to replenish materials. I'm vindicated!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
