Watch Krzysztof Kowalski paint watercolour charts

He's brave to do what he do.

"George Butler is an artist and illustrator specialising in travel and current affairs. His drawings, done in situ are in pen, ink and watercolour.

In August 2012 George walked from Turkey across the border into Syria, where as an unofficial guest of the rebel Free Syrian Army he spent 4 days drawing the civil war damaged, small and empty town of Azaz. 6 months later he made a similar trip back to Syria to record the stories amongst the refugees and the field hospitals. These drawings were reproduced by the Times, the Guardian, Evening Standard, Der Spiegel, ARD television Germany, NPR (USA) and reported on the BBC World News, BBC World Service, CNN twice, Al Arabiya and Monocle Radio.

However, his sense of adventure did not start here - since leaving Kingston university, drawing has taken George around the world, depicting the oil fields in Azerbaijan, soldiers in Afghanistan, reconstructive plastic surgery, G20 riots, the New York Fire Department and Asian Elephants."

Jake Parker was in Singapore a few days ago. He was here to teach a course. Watch the video to see what he was up to.

I've finally filled up the Pentalic cotton watercolour journal that I reviewed a few weeks ago. It took me more than two months to fill 48 pages which I consider to be an achievement because I usually take longer unless I'm on a sketching trip.

Here's a video flip through of my sketchbook.

Watercolour Lesson with Alvaro Castagnet

Alvaro Castagnet paints a cafe scene in European setting and talks about some techniques.

I was given two sets of postcards by my Indonesian sketcher friend Darman Angir during the Bandung sketchwalk. The art is great!

Francis Theo is a sketcher friend of mine from Urban Sketchers Singapore. Recently, he went back to his ancestor village in Dapu, Southern China to visit his ancestors graves and grandfather's birth place.

In this sketchbook are his location sketches and when he wasn't able to complete the sketchbook, he drew with photo reference.

Check out the video I made for the Bandung sketchwalk.
