Outdoor Painting - North Bridge Road, Singapore

Hi there,Happy Easter to everyone!

Since it's a public holiday here in Singapore today, I went out to paint. Weather wasn't the most ideal for outdoor or plein aire painting with greyish cloud gathered in the sky and it's been raining almost every afternoon for the past few days. But that didn't dampen my spirit. In fact, I'm even more eager to get something painted before it rains.

I walked along North Bridge Road and saw some old buildings in the distant. I reckon these buildings must have been abandoned for years now, but I just love the old-world charms that only such weathered buildings could offer.



I started around 9 am and as usual attracted quite a number of people although it is comparatively less than my previous outing since this place is less crowded.

As I was busy painting, a black Mercedez Benz came out of no where and parked right in front of my nose!! That $@#$% inconsiderate driver must be blind and he was parking at a non-parking zone! So being a civic-minded resident of Singapore, I thought of taking a photo of the car's license plate no. and send it to the Traffic Police ... but I didn't. He should count his lucky stars that I didn't report him!!
Anyway, I'm more or less done with the painting, with just some details and darks to finish off the painting so I didn't even bother...



Well, here's the finished painting after 2.5 hours. Hope you like it! Critiques and comments are welcomed. It's painted on half sheet of Fabriano Artistico (14" x 21") using mostly Winsor & Newton and Rembrandt artist paints. Hope you like it and thanks for viewing! .... and it did rained quite heavily afterwards:-)
