For the last Saturday of the year, we will be having our sketch walk along Orchard Road. This will be our chance to capture the Christmas decorations before they come down. (Christmas is still on considering there are supposed to be 12 days of it.) Here is the plan:
10AM- Meet outside ION's entrance (where the colourful sculptures are, facing Tangs)
1PM- Meet at Scape (outside Toastbox) We will either head for the basement or one of the higher floors of Scape
where we will have space for "show and tell". Then we will have lunch around the area.
The weather report say that Saturday will be stormy. But we will have plenty of shopping centres to hide in if it does. If you feel overwhelmed when you think of Orchard Road, too many things to draw, and the crowds, then think along these lines:
- Isolate smaller interesting things. eg, just one decoration or one shop.
- Use the crowds to your advantage. You can hide among them to sneak a drawing of interesting people.
- Go into and around the malls to explore and draw:
- Some interesting ones are ION with organic curves inside and outside the mall;
- Outside Prologue bookstore are many interesting displays and shop fronts to draw;
- Lucky plaza (with their signature domestic help and foreign workers on leave);
- Mandarin Gallery (they have nice big chairs to sit inside);
- *Scape(interesting building design; dance classes upstairs;
- Youth Park, just across from Scape with a skatepark for wheelers;
- Buskers in the underground tunnels, between Tangs and ION as well as Lucky Plaza and Takashimaya.
P.S. Edric will be leading a group after lunch to finish drawing the Tudor Court area. (other end of Orchard Rd). Please follow him after lunch if you are one of those who can't get enough of sketching!
