In 2022, the Urban Sketchers Singapore (USkSG) gathered for a memorable sketchwalk at the bridge near Singapore Stadium. This location, with its stunning architectural lines and scenic waterfront views, provided the perfect setting for artists to express their creativity through sketching.
As the sun cast soft morning light over the bridge, sketchers of all skill levels—from beginners to seasoned artists—gathered with their sketchbooks, pens, and watercolors. The atmosphere buzzed with excitement as everyone settled into their chosen spots, capturing the curves of the bridge, the reflections on the water, and the dynamic movement of people passing by.
The beauty of a sketchwalk lies not just in the sketches themselves, but in the shared experience. Conversations flowed freely, with artists exchanging tips, discussing techniques, and admiring each other’s interpretations of the scene. Some chose to focus on the intricate details of the bridge’s structure, while others captured the broader landscape, incorporating the stadium and surrounding greenery.
By noon, the group gathered for a sketch throwdown, displaying their works for all to see. It was inspiring to witness the diverse styles and perspectives, each sketch telling a unique story of the morning’s experience.
The USkSG sketchwalk at the bridge near Singapore Stadium was not just an opportunity to practice sketching, but a celebration of community, creativity, and the joy of seeing the world through an artist’s eye. Looking back, it remains one of the many cherished moments where urban sketchers came together to capture the beauty of Singapore, one sketch at a time.
