JUNE 7 – JUNE 13, 2021 Pan’s Labyrinth by Guillermo del Toro has just been added to my favourite movies of all time. I loved it. Everyone at home hated it. I love the underlying themes and the symbolism. Of course my favourite character is the Pale Man. For a closer look of all the ..read more

Motivated by the desire to learn how to sketch portraits, I grabbed my sketchbook and practiced today. I tried to think of it as ‘just another drawing’ by focusing on the main shapes and distance of each element. I kept telling myself to not be intimidated and just have fun.

It’s been a while since we’ve had a proper meal in a restaurant. We all know the reason why. Bistro by Hill Station is one of our favourite restaurants. We often dined here before the pandemic. This was a quick sketch (around 10-15 minutes) in the restaurant while waiting for the food to arrive. Watercolour ..read more

May 24 – May 30, 2021 I can’t believe that we are almost halfway to the year. Time flies, doesn’t it? I started off this week by sketching these yummy treats. It’s my first time to taste Jaffa Cakes and I love them. How do you eat your Jaffa Cakes? Apparently there is a ‘suggested ..read more
