Dear sketchwalkers, the upcoming sketchwalk for this month will be at Geylang Serai, this saturday. Some of us did an adhoc sketchwalk there recently, but they didn’t cover everything. And some of us could not make it. So now you have one more chance to capture the preparations for the upcoming Hari Raya Puasa.
The sketchwalk leader for this event will be Paul. Please look out for him at the main PAYA LEBAR MRT control station (not the circle line) at 10AM sharp. We will start later as this will give us time to vote (polling day) before or after the sketchwalk. From there, we will make our way to the area of the malay village and Joo Chiat Shopping Complex. (See map.) We will meet again at 1PM for lunch and “show and tell” (lunch location to be revealed at event) If you can’t find us or have any questions, please call Paul 97923622

Our upcoming sketchwalk will be at Redhill. (read the story behind the area). Drop at Redhill MRT station. Cross the traffic junction on your left when you exit (A) the station. We will meet at the Redhill food centre (Blk 85 Redhill lane) at 9.30am where you can have your breakfast before sketchwalking.
We will then spread out to any direction we like. To the west are many car showrooms such as Lexus, VW, Porsche. There is a small temple there too. Around the food centre, it is mostly residential. There are HDB flats with varied designs from charming/old to new. Take the opportunity to climb up to a high floor for a different view. The hawker centre and the wetmarket, with its strange roof designs, could be interesting to draw as well. Take your time exploring the area and drawing. At 1230pm, we will return to the food centre for lunch. There are quite a few good stalls there.
