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!

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.
