Plein air - Singapore River

It's a beautiful sunny day last Saturday, so I went out to paint again... and I'm running out of location to paint in Singapore LOL... and didn't know where to go, so back to my old haunt - Singapore River.

This scene is particularly interesting as it blends together the old and new of Singapore, with the old represented by the old Supreme Court with the emerald dome and the Asian Civilisation Museum on the right and the spaceship lookalike new Supreme Court and the Parliament House on the left.

Here's the location pic



There are many people including locals and tourists gathered around from time to time to watch me paint, luckily I held my nerves and didn't destroy the painting... :P

Here's the painting... Half sheet of Fabriano Artistico, painted with W&N, Rembrant, Schmincke, Holbein artist grade watercolour paints.



I have a problem with that ugly spaceship structure... it looks too fat and thick in my painting compared to the real thing... may be it's packed with gas and about to burst and shoot up into space...LOL... now you know why I hate painting modern buildings.

Anyway, critiques and comments are welcome.
Thank you!
