Tia and Paul

Last
week  I was in Singapore on a  businesstrip, and I had a chance to meet two of my favourite Urban Sketchers from Singapore: Tia
Boon Sim and Paul Wang.

We had dinner in the University Club restaurant,
we showed our drawings, and exchanged experiences. It was great to see
the beautiful drawings of Tia and Paul in reality; like so often, they
are so much better in real life than on the screen.

They also showed me some tricks, like using the calligraphy fountainpen
Hero 501-1 (which I managed to buy the next day).

After I bought the pen, I stood in front of the ION hall on the exact location where Don Low made his sketch of the previous post. But I didn’t have enough time, I had to catch the plane back to Europe later that evening.

So I decided to try my new pen just around the corner, drawing one of the big Rain trees on Orchard boulevard.

The world seems so small.
