This inaugural compendium of sketches documents the escapades of the locally based Urban Sketchers Singapore group while reflecting on urban context and city planning through the eyes of a diverse group of artists and sketch hobbyists.
Anchored by the work of the earliest members, the book aims to represent the island city-state through a varied selection of sketches that show off the wide spectrum of skill, techniques and experience found amongst the urban sketchers of Singapore.
This maiden showcase of work hopes to encourage emerging artists to get involved in the local art community and grow with their peers.
Some notable Singaporean scenes captured in sketches include the spice streets of Little India, the landmark Sultan Mosque, nostalgic old Queenstown and the revitalised skyline of the Marina Bay Waterfront, organised into sections detailing the civic setting of each location.
