Sketching near Sengkang Floating Wetland

Gouache painting near Sengkang Floating Wetland, 5″ X 7″

Last Saturday I was sketching near Sengkang Floating Wetland, it’s our family’s weekend routine going to Sengkang west riverside park for a short outing. We have the waterway nearby home, it’s a very relaxing place with Riverside park, floating wetland and we would frequently spot monitor lizards, otters and many birds. Long ago, I started my painting hobby here, trying to sketch the greenery along the waterway. This place has inspired me and I have many paintings of the riverside, this is the latest addition in my collection!

Me with Alvin exploring Nutmeg trees at Sengkang Park connector!

My artist friend Alvin Mark Tan was exploring about the history of Nutmeg trees in Indonesia & Singapore and when I told him about a few Nutmeg trees along Sengkang Park Connector, he wanted to visit the place.

I joined him and we sketched the beautiful lush green trees along the waterway. Here’s my painting looking at the waterway from the park connector. I’m waiting to watch his video about this session on Alvin’s YT channel!

Gouache product review

sathyapriya — Tue, 07 Jan 2020 09:06:00 +0000

Get an exclusive 15% OFF by using the promocode “Priya15” when you purchase any SCHMINCKE Gouache (including Schmincke Calligraphy gouache, Akademie gouache, Horadam Gouache products) at online and physical store at Overjoyed Art Store!!
https://www.overjoyed.xyz/
(Promo code valid from today till Friday,10th Jan!)

SCHMINCKE Akademie Gouache paints are now available in town and I tried using them in my outdoor sketch and a small studio painting. I tested them on 300gsm Cold Pressed Watercolour paper. I selected Indian Yellow, Carmine, Ultramarine, Turquoise, Sap Green and Burnt Sienna.

The pigments are bright and fresh, when mixed with white they give beautiful tints. However the tints vary from semi-transparent to opaque depending on the binder to pigment ratio. That makes me to use more pigment for a good coverage. I felt the paint is more towards the acrylic side and is more suitable for layering washes and glazing.

The paints retained their buttery consistency and didn’t dry up even after 10 days when kept inside an air-tight contianer. Most of the pigments have been marked as high lightfast rating. There are 30 colours available in this Akdemie series including Gold and Silver colours, brilliant for illustrations and mixed media art. The paints come in 60ml tubes with a good variety of colours. The quality of the paint is good considering the price is much cheaper for more quantity.

sathyapriya — Thu, 10 Oct 2019 03:13:00 +0000

Reflecting back on the sketching trip and I have lots going in my mind. A big thank you for the organisers of Asia-link Sketchwalk, USKSG family n my family

I always hoped to attend these events and finally made it this time. I’m glad that I manged on my own throughout (my family joined me later, they had their own plans and let me have my time to attend the happenings). Usually I would like to keep things to myself , but this time I pulled myself out of my circle and made many new friends. Realised that I couldn’t sketch away just like I would do in Singapore or India and I needed time to settle down, but did fairly well in sketching, I hope. Need to rethink about keeping the tools light and quick sketching ways!!

In total, I came out of my comfort zone in little good ways, already am looking forward for the next sketching event!!

We “Captured the mood in Gouache” during Saturday’s workshop. The participants were very keen to learn and appreciative of the medium. A memorable and learning experience for me as an instructor as I learnt to keep track of the time, lesson plan, my 45 mins demo and attending to the queries of the participants. Strangely, I forgot to bring my palette(but had pictures to show how my palette looks) and water container, thanks Jenny and Favian for helping me with supplies. I had the wonderful Meg HLeng to assist me. Thanks for all the participants, I’m glad to have contributed in someway for your urbansketching journey!
Thank you SP Jain School of Management for the support!!

Here are some sketches I did last week, when we were in Borocay, Philippines for school holidays. This is the first time where I managed to squeeze in some comfort sketching time for myself when kids n hubby were busy playing. It’s not always easy to sit and sketch in a new place where we do have a lot of things to see and enjoy, especially with kids. All these sketches took around an hour and I still fondly remember the gusty wind (my first sketch has the place’s white sand caught on the paint), clear water and how I rushed to capture the sunset hues. Hope to record new places in paint in future trips too.

For 3rd week, Nathan allowed us to use pigments but limited to yellow ochre, venetian red, ultramarine blue, permanent sap green, and van dyke brown. I couldn’t find them here in Sg nor wanted to wait for them if I order online, so substituted with Yellow Ochre, Mars red, ultramarine Blue, Olive green and Raw Umber. These are the ones I could get here close to the suggested pigments. Definitely the end results vary, but a little try than nothing at all.

Compass One

sathyapriya — Wed, 22 Mar 2017 01:34:00 +0000

The Sengkang Compass Point Mall had been closed for renovation for nearly a year and came back with a fresh look with a new name, Compass One. With more residents looking forward, the mall was re-opened in September 2016. Additional facilities are a wet playground for kids, Sengkang Public Library now occupying two levels, many new shops and eateries. The exterior design had a nautical themed design which I think has been down played in this look.

Still experimenting with tools……Sketching with pen/pencil minimises my sketching gear weight and eases the process especially on family outings.

“Foliage”, 6″ X 8″, Gouache on Saunders Waterford CP(NOT)…….done from a reference photo.

I have limited my colours on my palette to three plus white for all my sketches/paintings since last 5 years(almost form the start), as it happened to be an important advise from most of the artists who inspired. This makes us to work on the values first, extract more from the existing combination and a sense of harmony as a whole. The three colours would be a cool or warm version of each primary. My combination need not be a success every time but I learn a lot working like this.

Lemon yellow, Alizarin Crimson and Ultramarine blue with Permanent white for this little study.

Reason for sketching this again in Gouache is, the construction materials have arrived in the nearby vacant land and I’m pretty sure this view will be gone forever. I have planned to sketch the progress in construction stages from the same view, it may take 2-3 years, but I’ll try to document the slow changes as seen through my window. Let’s see how it goes!!

Back from India with a couple of sketches……….a row of shops opposite to my house, in the middle is a typical south Indian petty shop. People gather here to have tea, coffee and discuss local village issues to international matters. This petty shop is owned by a “bhai”, we here commonly call all our Muslim friends “bhai”, meaning brother.

I usually block-in with a warm orange tone for all my sketches especially for the foliage, here I started sketching the focal point first and as I moved on either sides, felt the sketch was complete by then and decided not to make it too busy.

The Door

sathyapriya — Tue, 10 May 2016 02:58:00 +0000

It was very interesting to sketch this unused door in the material storage place…but my motto was to show convincing light and shadow across the patch of grass.As often said, it is important to have a clear objective to sketch or paint a scene in technical/artistic terms that you wish to capture on the 2D surface, it can be like an interesting shape, convincing light, colors in shadow, temperature difference, depth in distance/atmosphere, turning of form etc. rather than just liking the scene/subject.

This is the front pick-up/drop area of our apartment void deck. Often those who live in the ground floor have the option of setting up a nice mini-garden like this. I sketched this from the pedestrian walk, the only difficulty being the big red ants from the mango trees.

Sengkang Park and Mushroom Cafe

sathyapriya — Mon, 07 Mar 2016 03:44:00 +0000

We frequent Sengkang Riverside Park and Mushroom Cafe on Sunday afternoons and went last Sunday too. After lunch, kids and hubby headed to fly kites and I hopped from tree to tree to find a good shady spot for sketching. It was a nice windy day and my pigments were drying up fast. Spent about 1 1/2 hours sketching and this was the result,

I find Gouache becomes pale if I’m not very careful about the values, because it tends to lighten a bit after drying and a little white will kill the intensity of colours a lot (unlike oils where pigments retain considerable intensity after adding white). Did some corrections later at home.

Compass Point Mall, Sengkang – Before renovation

sathyapriya — Wed, 02 Mar 2016 02:26:00 +0000

“Compass Point” mall in Sengkang is undergoing renovation currently and temporarily closed for about 1 year. People here miss the Public Library, Supermarket and other eateries. This is how it looks now, I always felt the architecture somehow resembles a cruise ship from the design of windows and layers. Realised how huge the mall is when I tried to sketch it from side view, however settled for this one, since other views are blocked by trees. Took 3 sessions of 1 hour each. Looking forward for the new look, I’ll sketch this again after the re-open.

HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR TO ALL MY FRIENDS!!

With Lunar New Year commencing next week, the official Sketchwalk for January was organised at Chinatown…..the place is festive with people and lots of goodies, me and ritu went to sketch the Mariamman temple.

The temple has a banner in front with wishes for the coming Lunar new year and was bustling with people of all races and religion. When we finished sketching and about to move, the Lion Dancers reached the temple and were ready to start their performance.

Anyway we had to move on to watch Woon Lam Ng’s watercolor demo. He stressed on to have a good, strong structure first before building up on the details over. We couldn’t stay for the Show and Tell, rushed back home.

“Go Green”

These group of latest paintings are inspired by the theme “Go Green”, I’ve tried to capture the light on landscapes true to Singapore. The paintings are done with a limited palette of three primaries plus white. I used either warm/cool version of each.

These with other recent paintings are now on display in Sengkang Public Library, Singapore till 30th September 2013.Welcome all!

A scene like this is usual in Sengkang waterway, people alone or in groups fishing along the banks, though now it’s no more allowed. Some find fishing as a lovely hobby on a hot summer day.

It is very pleasing to watch the sun glittering through the leaves in early or late hours, especially the fluorescent colors of the leaves at the moment. The leaves are filtering the bright light through them to manipulate that color.

“Into the Light” painting is done entirely with palette knife, brushes are used only for blending in some areas. For most of the recent paintings I’ve used palette knife extensively, prefer particularly for landscapes.
