Demo 4: Guan Dao by Ignatius Yeo

Near Shelter 11 < click to view in Google Maps

2:30 PM – may do another at 3:00 or 3:45 pm

The guan dao is an evolution on the dip pen or the folded pen, also known as a cola pen; the unconventional crude folded pen is largely used for creative calligraphy by European and Middle East artists even to this day.

The folded pen and guan dao may look alike, but that’s where the similarity ends. Through mode switching, Ignatius Yeo has pushed its limits beyond calligraphy and manuscript writing.

In this demo, he will show you how the guan dao can be a pen, brush and even a palette knife with just a flip and change of grip. He will use it to capture a scene with Chinese ink and kopi-o gao, on-location. Those keen to give the guan dao a go are most welcome to do so.

Demo 3: Urban Expression in Colours by Lin Chan

Near Shelter 10 < click to view in Google Maps

2:30 PM – demo will be continuous, with breaks as necessary 4:00 PM – mini-talk at Shelter 10 on “Sketching from the roof top of Sultan Mosque”

Through her experience, you will learn how to sketch in a way unique to yourself, see what others may not see, be passionate about and aware of your surroundings and express yourself in cooler, form and subject matter.

Demo 2: Ink & Wash by Alice Lim

Berlayer Creek and Bukit Chermin Boardwalk junction < click to view in Google Maps

3:00 PM – may start just before or after; hang out and sketch the scenery too!

Love to sketch at a café while waiting for your train in Paris but don’t fancy bringing your 32-colour watercolour palette when you travel? Neither does Alice. So, she travel lights with a pen and a six-colour watercolour palette. In this demo, she will go through the process of capturing details with a pen and show how to mix a rainbow from a limited palette of just six colours.

Advisory on Location

The park is a nature reserve fronting waterways and the sea; always keep litter to yourself or in a bin, especially all non-biodegradable wet-wipes, food packaging, plastic wrappers, and other synthetics; keep garbage out of the watery home of our fellow earthlings!

Dispose water used for washing paintbrushes into sewage outlets; otherwise, dilute before dumping into water catchment areas so that the soil or drain microbes are not overwhelmed.

Let’s enjoy the greenery responsibly, handle delicate foliage with care, keep our feet off planted areas, and interact with fauna respectfully.

Preparing to Sketch

Make sure you have everything you need to start recording the scenery and views, be it the greenery of the park, or what you see looking out.

Paper sheets, sketchbook, drawings boards, etc; it’ll be windy so make sure you have lots of clips to keep things secure!

Pens, pencils, inks, paints, brushes, etc; bring a minimal selection so you have less to worry about.

Stool, hat, sunshades, water, insect repellent, sunscreen; make sure to have comfortable shoes on and dress lightly.

Snacks, as it’ll be three hours under the sun in our famously humid weather.

A bag for all your rubbish, to keep the park litter-free.

Sketch Draw

There’ll be a little lucky dip for sketchwalk attendees, so make sure to have your Workshopper and Sketchwalker tags with you at the end of the session.

We’ll pre-draw winners from the list of those who indicated they’ll be attending the sketchwalk, and they’ll pick a prize number out of a selection we will have available. See you on Sunday afternoon!
