Plein Air - Lower Peirce Reservoir, Singapore

I went out for a plein air session with my artist friends from Singapore Watercolour Society last Sunday, and I'm glad I did as it's a fabulous day. Clear breezy sunny day always makes me happy, unless it gets too hot and humid.

We decided to paint at Lower Peirce Reservoir, which is one of the oldest reservoirs in Singapore and the surrounding trees around the areas could be more than hundred years old. Singapore is definitely more well-known for its concrete jungle of shopping malls and high-rise buildings. So, it is great that I could do a landscape plein air today.

Here are some pics of the reservoir and the surrounding forest.

  • Hi Muru, thanks!
    The greens are mix of sap green, lemon yellow, gamboge, yellow ochre, cobalt blue, cerulean blue, sepia and burnt sienna. Of course, not mix all of them together, but 2 or 3 colors at a time. :)
