Other Sketches from Europe


We were stranded at the tram station in central Zurich because of the rain. I really hate touring companies, they get you to places on the day everything is closed. Anyhoo we were spared the disappointment of closed shops and museums because it rained and I could sit and draw the people who were passing by the tram station while we were sitting there waiting for the weather to show us some mercy. It was great to just sit and see the world pass by!


This is a 5 minute sketch of Napoleon's Tomb in Paris. Again the touring company stopped their bus for a 5 minute break for people to go take a leak. I wish to go back to Paris on my own terms and spend days and nights at the Louvre!

Sketch from Cologne, Germany


It was a quick trip to Germany all the time I was thinking about how I was alone although I was with a group of people. The only time I felt solitude and not loneliness is when I was sketching this, what can I say, my sketchbook and my paints are my constant companions.. Along with that never-leaving voice in my head!

Sketches From Brussels





Hi guys, its been a while since I updated my blog, Apologies! The scanner in my home in India is just bad quality, but I am back in Singapore right now and have finally had the chance to scan my sketches from my trip to Europe this summer. This is Brussels, where the buildings are guild-ed with Gold and where there are amazing street artists selling their amazing watercolour works! Belgium and its waffles and chocolate are something that I shall never forget and if I do I have these sketches to remind me!
