I attended the OIC figure drawing session on Saturday afternoon. I made my way there from Owen Road, navigating through the maze of streets, lugging a huge stack of drawing pads, watercolours, inks, pigment pens, pencils, brushes, container and more.
Shyam, pictured here, patiently explained the format of the session, starting with five minute poses by the model, followed by ten minute ones and finally fifteen minute ones. He was immensely patient and helpful. For that, I am grateful.
We drew at a small dance studio at Kampong Kapor in Little India. A charming little place. I was able to make numerous ink and pencil-watercolours sketches. I am recovering my touch and refining my techniques. It was a great session. Thank you to OIC, Michael and Shyam for organising this.
I will be attending future sessions.

If you were figure drawing in your neighbouring country then you would be in deep trouble for the reason of perving boobs & suff ...

Hahah. I should think so?
However, there is surely a fine art movement there? No?
And fine arts colleges?
Fine art movement? ... hhmmm ... difficult to say but definitely not boobs & stuff as that would be considered as immoral, not to mention the dirty politicians that will drool all over them ... bunch of dirty old men.
Fine arts colleges? You will end up a beggar upon graduation.

Surely, there is? Just not well publicised? No?
That's why I didn't turn professional in 1996.
Besides, who would have wanted my work?
