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.

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!!

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.

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.

Time and tide wait for none, but time here stands still for you to enjoy the lively. The tranquil water mesmerizes everyone, evokes a quiet mood to indulge within.

This painting is really after a long gap, however I used the time to learn from other artists. A scene from my neighborhood waterway, I’m striving to capture the essence of the place while still maintaining the color harmony, correct values and color temperature. There should be at least one improvement than every previous work for me to believe I’m in the correct phase of learning.
Thanks for watching!

This is another painting showing a typical kampong house in Buangkok. This is the last surviving kampong in mainland Singapore, situated besides the Sungei Punggol. The kampong houses are a surprise amidst the urban high rise buidings. Wooden houses with metal roofs, rugged paths, overhead power lines, fences and many others are some rare sights which can only be seen in the kampong.

SOLD

This view of Bukit Timah Railway Station is from a rugged sand path behind the station. Situated in a serene atmosphere, the Bukit Timah Railway Station is an endearing local landmark and a key building of Singapore’s railway history. The Bukit Timah Railway Station was opened as a part of the Singapore-Kranji Railway. Owned by the Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB), these railway tracks and train stations were properties of the Malaysian Government until June 30, 2011. Going there after the train service ceased, everyone including me had a nostalgic feel about the place. This must be the reason why I wanted to paint this place. Its conservation serves as a physical reminder of Singapore’s role as a transport hub in the region.

This is a painting of Bukit Timah Railway Station, that recently became an important heritage trail of Singapore.

Situated in a serene atmosphere, the Bukit Timah Railway Station is an endearing local landmark and a key building of Singapore’s railway history. The Bukit Timah Railway Station was opened as a part of the Singapore-Kranji Railway. Owned by the Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB), these railway tracks and train stations were properties of the Malaysian Government until June 30, 2011. Going there after the train service ceased, everyone including me had a nostalgic feel and people were discussing about changing tracks, signalling, exchange of keys they haven’t experienced before. This must be the reason why I wanted to paint this place. Its conservation serves as a physical reminder of Singapore’s role as a transport hub in the region.

Painting Sunset at Tanah Lot, Bali

sathyapriya — Sat, 02 Jul 2011 15:26:00 +0000

Hi,
It has been a long time since I posted any painting because I was away for vacation to Bali, Indonesia. The trip was of course enjoyable and i had a different learning experience about arts, particularly paintings. To my surprise I could see there a whole village doing paintings that too in different genres like landscapes, abstract, traditional balinese art and the interesting thing is that the paintings all show their culture and tradition. These people sell their art at their own traditional houses changed into art galleries, there are other art forms like wood carving, stone statues, silversmith, glass art etc and each village is associated with a particular art…………….. no wonder each and everything there reflects their artistic excellence!

Tanah Lot Sunset, Bali, 18″ X 24″, 18″ X 14″, Acrylic on Canvas

SOLD

This painting is about the famous sunset view of a temple at Tanah Lot in Bali. The view was indeed spectacular, but I think I have captured to some extent. Nothing can match nature’s glorious colors!

The flaws in any painting can be seen only with other fresh pair of eyes. Your critics and comments about the painting are most welcome!!

Shimmering water

Shimmering Water, 8″ X 20″, 16″ X 20″, 8″ X 20″, Acrylic on canvas
SOLD

Water has always been very fascinating to paint for me, particularly the reflections. But in this painting, I’ve attempted to capture the shining, shimmering effect of light falling on water. Another challenge was to get the correct perspective to depict the vastness of the water as if stretches to a long distance from the viewer towards the distant mountains and the perspective here has to be achieved with receding water drops only. Hope I managed to do that. Comments are welcome!

With analogous color scheme for this painting I could get more control over the values and get the shining water drops.
