Outdoor Painting - Pahang Street, Singapore

It's a bright sunny Sunday and I went out to paint with my artist friends again. This is another street scene along Pahang Street, off Jalan Sultan in Singapore.

Here's a photo of the location.



So, here's my first painting of Year 2007...
It's a quarter sheet of Fabriano Artistico, painted with W&N, Rembrandt, Schmincke, M.Graham Artist Watercolour Paints.
I think I spent about 2.5 hours on this painting.

Below are some close-up shots of the painting:




The sky was clear and bright when I started and then it turned cloudy and drizzled for about 5 minutes. Luckily, the sun came out again ... it was a challenge to paint under such changing weather.

Although, the painting turned out fine, I think I didn't portray the sunny day well enough and should have left more white areas untouched to represent the pillars and walls that are brightly-lit by the sun... oh well... I must remember this next time.

Oh... and I nearly dated the painting 2006, instead of 2007... fortunately, I corrected it just in time! LOL :D
