At the Museum of Natural History with Halifax Urban Sketchers this morning. I sketched this recreation of the field station on Sable Island.

The arimispian is another one of those hypothetical peoples drawn on the edges of medieval maps and reputed to live in faraway places. In this case, it's line-and-wash (watercolor) at 11"x17"

For the second sketch I wanted to draw the old man and his shopping cart. Then the student boarded and blocked my view so… just got a chaotic sketch of her instead

Trying to be as simple and pressure-free as possible so I can actually enjoy sketching and splotching blobs freely in my sketchbooks ! Hashtag lessismoreistrue 🤷🏼♀️ duuuuhhhhh

It’s been a while since i tried to do a chaotic sketch… can’t say it’s my best chaotic sketch work, but I think I got the essence of the place.
With one stop to go I did a quick chaotic sketch on the train.

A quick sketch today. Guy looked all happy sitting there crouched over his phone. Then he got off in one stop 🙄
He was getting ready to get off before I finished the ink sketch sigh.

I drew the seagull with pencil and the painted in the colours using wet on wet method allowing colours to blend. Masking the seagull with my hand and card I splattered paint for the background and before it dried blew through a straw to mix the colours further. Finally I drew round the seagull outline with black pen and put in details such as the feathers.

A quick sketch on the way home. The train was so crowded today!

Today's sketch. This orange color looks very neon and very red when wet... It seems to have toned down a bit now but still... Wasn't quite what I was expecting when I got this a gallo pyrrole orange lol!

Today’s quick sketch. Idk why but I’m so exhausted tonight. I took out my usual Holbein palette. Stuck it on the magnet. AND then proceeded to take out the a gallo palette. Erm?! 🫠
Decided to use the Holbein palette in the end.

Today’s sketch.
Plus a super quick ink sketch I did last night after the event plus some shopping. I wanted to test out the new fancy ballpoint pen I got. It’s really nice, but a tad too thick for such a tiny notebook.

Some train sketches from yesterday…
On the way to the event, a little three year old boy (I asked) saw me painting and was so fascinated.
I earned myself a little fan 🥰

Did a portrait sketch of one of the instructors, a local sketcher extraordinaire Francis Theo. He has quite the fan base with folks asking for this signature and stuff. Since I sketched him, I asked for an autograph as well.

Attended a local art event yesterday and did some sketches! The landscape was sketching from a photo that the instructor was doing a demo of. Not that I could really tell what the photo was, because the projector was really quite dim.

At Alderney Market with the Urban Sketchers #halifaxusk. There is a great view of the Halifax skyline and the ferry terminal.

Sketch 4 sketches to make a bingo line and get a sticker sheet! That means many quick sketches! I squeezed in 6 of varying details and quality... Some are definitely super quick, super rushed... Not my best work... But it was fun!

It was a special sketch walk... Not only was it the official. End of the month sketchwalk, it was also organised together with South Beach Singapore and they had this bingo card thing...

Anything for stickers!
For the second week in a row, I joined Urban Sketchers Singapore on their Saturday morning sketchwalks.

A quick sketch today so that I could return to reading my webnovel on the train… 🤣
It’s been a tiring week at work! Glad it’s the weekend but… dang it looks like I’ll be very busy this weekend too!

Another visit to Steele Wheels to sketch cars. Lots of fun, waiting until it is warm enough to sketch outdoors ☀️

No her arm isn’t broken. It’s just behind her back. 😅

I’ve been going home really late recently because I took a course, and there’s homework from the course 😅
On the plus side, the trains are pretty empty at like 11pm so that means I get to sketch tons on the way home.
