My piece from yesterday’s Sketchwalk at Geylang Serai, a popular Malay / Muslim enclave in the mid-eastern part of Singapore.

Ramadan is about over and Hari Raya (translated: Big Day; celebrating the end of Ramadan) is around the corner, and this part of town is usually teeming with atmosphere and festivities this time of the year.

While most of our sketchers were sketching up Malay-inspired architecture across the street, Ken and I decided to capture some favorite Malay eats – a big part of the Hari Raya festivities, and certainly Singapore Malay Culture.

This stall (operating since 1985) is a very popular Malay dessert place selling Putu Piring, a Kueh (steamed rice cake) with brown palm sugar (Gula Melaka) fillings, sprinkled with freshly grated coconut, usually served on a tiny piece of banana leaf. It reminds me a lot of the Chinese Kueh Tu-Tu.

One bite into the steamy, soft and slightly powdery and bland exterior, and you will be greeted with an explosion of nuanced, textured sweetness, and that combination is just heavenly… and I don’t even have a sweet tooth. 😂

The other sweet delights on the table I bought from the neighboring stalls; the Putu Piring was the star.

An urban sketcher at heart, I could not help but also capture the shopfront, with dedicated kak-kaks (older sisters) and makciks (older ladies / moms) hard at work churning out Kueh after Kueh.

Wonderful hangout with my bros Ken and Alvin sketching up these sweet delights.

98-2961 - Guys watching guys at UP sunken garden

On Sunday 12 January we joined our first #SketchWalk of the year with #UskQuezonCity at the University of the Philippines sunken garden. The sunken garden is a large green basin-shaped area at the Diliman campus, surrounded by large trees and is popular as a venue for sports and outside events. I did this first sketch of a group of young guys quite quickly…after 15 minutes they all got up and…

Mi acuarela de hoy desde la cafetería de la Biblioteca de la UNED con @uskmadrid Una panorámica espectacular, pero complicada, con muchos edificios, varios planos y a contraluz! 😅Como siempre una maravilla compartir estas salidas a pintar con mis compañeros de Urbansketchers Madrid.

My chosen 9 of 2023 sketches (“chosen” ‘cos they aren’t necessary Best 9, ‘cos some won’t fit the IG square format). ✌🏼😘

Artistically, 2023 was a great year not ‘cos I’d done a ton of sketches, but ‘cos I’d done sketching from a ton of places all over the world. I’m grateful for that. 🙏🏼🥰

This year I hope to sketch more and explore more techniques and media. 🤞🏼😊 Have a creative 2024! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🍺🍺

95-2870 - Under the sun shade…inside

Here is my sketch (another delayed post) for Day 9 of #Inktober2024 following (interpreting really), the prompt of “sun”. I drew this after my #SketchWalk with #UskQuezonCity at the Museo el Deposito in San Juan. I sat in the @FigaroCoffee shop that overlooks a huge atrium, while I was waiting to pick up my wife at the Shangri-La Plaza mall in Mandaluyong. Sun-13-Oct-2024

I did a bunch of different versions of the @rijksmuseum. It’s tricky, figuring out how much to simplify a very complicated building like this. One new thing I tried here: using a grey pen instead of a black one for many of the windows & other features. So they’re still there, just pushed back a bit. Not so many black lines competing for attention. . . . #uskamsterdam #usknl #urbansketchers #usk #urbansketching #travelsketch #travelsketchbook #travelsketching #watercolorsketch #cityscape #citysketch #rijksmuseum #sketchwalker #dailysketch #dailydrawing #draweveryday #painteveryday https://www.instagram.com/p/CgpAC6_rpCV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
