DECEMBER OFFICIAL SKETCHWALK: ORCHARD RD

Sketch by Daman Angir

Merry Christmas! For this month's sketchwalk, meet at 9AM outside McDonald's at SCAPE. The closest MRT station is Somerset. There will be a quick briefing and then the sketchwalk begins toward Plaza Singapura.

The route in the map is only the general direction and you are encouraged to take your own detours to discover views of Orchard Rd other than the obvious. For example, take Somerset Road instead. There is a skateboard park there. And if you go up to the 3rd floor of Orchard Gateway, you will get to sketch the new Library@Orchard. Climb up to the top of Orchard Central and you get a bird's eye view of the area. Yes, explore both inside and outside of the malls. Or around and behind. Turn up to Emerald hill to sketch shophouses. Or stop by a cafe, relax and sketch.

Pace yourself so that you can gather with the group again at 12PM sharp OUTSIDE of the entrance to Plaza Singapura. If it rains, look for the nearest shelter there.

See you on saturday. Anyone and everyone is welcome to join. No drawing skill level required. No fees either. Just bring your own drawing materials and show up on time. If you are late, just look for anyone with a sketchbook drawing along the way. Only in case of emergencies, call 91070735.
