Elgin Bridge (Sketching Bridges of Singapore River)

[@rashone2879]

I'm enjoying these bridge sketches very much. I'm especially attentive to how you simplify, in this case, leaving out the metal railing in the foreground which would have blocked the scene. I tend to not think enough about what to keep and what to eliminate and end up with too much stuff, so this type of demo is very helpful. Thank you!

[@TheMarkEH]

Teoh, you are an inspiration to make art. Thank you for posting something interersting every day.

[@trlan55]

I really enjoy you showing us the sights of Singapore. Great video too.

[@Fang-nk2fb]

Beautiful! I think the city of Singapore should make you the official city artist and purchase your paintings/drawings/sketches for tourism purposes too.

[@teohyc]

😁 that would be cool

[@DricaNBeetle]

Supported!!

[@ronniebaga3736]

Since I left Singapore in 2004 a lot has change. Thanks for sharing all these videos... makes me want to go back and enjoy the beautiful city and amazing food once again.

[@higherground711]

The bridge looks great! 😊 Making sure to add the tour boat was a nice touch. 👍

[@rennieneasey-oconnell6064]

Oh! How I adore Singapore! Remember those places so well... thank you...

[@doughilborn9447]

I am loving your bridge sketches.

[@teohyc]

Thanks :-)

[@kresnikful]

I must say I was never a fan of your art style previously, but I think it's growing on me.

[@inknoorart7063]

Great job Teoh! Love seeing the area around Singapore River too, it looks so vibrant.

[@skylark1772]

You make it look so easy but it's like a masterpiece everytime. This is my dinnertime viewing. I love watching you work ... So therapeutic. Thanks Teoh.

[@teohyc]

Thanks 😁

[@leighmarie3186]

you’re colours are always very rich and beautiful, even the neutrals aren’t just flat, and the effort shows. keep making art, man

[@teohyc]

Thanks 😁

[@StephenMarkTurner]

I like how the overall lack of strong colour makes that blue traffic sign on the bridge really pop out.

[@BarbrajoanOriginals]

Teoh, you are such a talented artist... I still follow you although I don't always comment.. What a fantastic little piece. Love the colors, and the subject .. my best to Judy and that beautiful little girl.

[@teohyc]

Thanks for your well wishes. 😁

[@tychicusparegoria7276]

Amazing sketch, Teoh. The angles and perspective of the bridge look great - something I must keep working on, but find myself thinking about more than actually doing :D

[@TheGoonkid]

Dude, Singapore is a really beautiful place, it really makes me want to go there on vacation. Thanks for those tours of the city /kudos

[@debsmith7050]

Well done; I especially like this one :) Folks in your workplace should be pleased

[@colorcrazy2944]

This series is really nice, thanks!

[@cindyhorton6980]

I really love this one! I love the bridge in there! Thank you!❤

[@PuppetMaster8707]

You truly inspire me and I always enjoy simple trees

[@karenvc8005]

So you didn't draw all the windows and we just let our mind fill in the rest. I am so glad you pointed that out because I would have certainly tried to put in all the windows on my own drawing.

[@karenvc8005]

Thank you for reminding us that artistic license is perfectly okay.

[@chammikaiser7740]

Terrific lively sketch Teoh. Love it.

[@moonram2569]

Great sketch !! and very interesting take-aways. Thanks for the video.

[@heberdua]

Should of drawn in the pink lift found at 2:10 :) (kidding). Awesome sketch Teoh !

[@mountainshark2388]

your videos motivate me to draw thank you

[@isabellecade277]

Another one ! Nice 👍🏻

[@artbybenjamin]

Great video, great to see this coming to life and following along. Not to sure about the music you used in the sketching time-lapsed part :)

[@saraalbirawi]

Beautiful!

[@ruthwalton3457]

Thank you so much for sharing with us 😍😘 Ps usually I forget pencils or pens or brushes . Once I forgot my paints 🙈🙈🙈

[@BeckyTregear]

I forgot my entire bag once! 😂

[@ruthwalton3457]

@@BeckyTregear noooo so easily done though 😂😉

[@Donna_G]

Interesting lesson on Singapore. I've never been there; and, most likely will not ever be able to go there. I did read a book once called Crazy Rich Asians. It was based in Singapore and was made into a movie. I haven't seen the movie, yet.

[@teohyc]

I've not watched that movie yet 😁 but yeah it is based in Singapore.

[@MrJairo3259]

Goog ,yesterday I receivid my set of brushes so lets work😉👍👍

[@g-r-a-e-m-e-]

Very nice. Useful.

[@EstrafaDC]

Thank you for another wonderful video Teoh. Was curious about the other colors in your palette. I spied Quinacridone Gold? Is that right? And I'm guessing Pthalo Blue and Sap Green would also as I know they're among your favorites. But curious about the others. Also, WHAT A GREAT IDEA to paint the bridges. Makes me want to paint the bridges of my city!

[@teohyc]

I know which colour you are referring to but I can't remember what it is. Probably Raw Sienna.

[@marymah8110]

pretty

[@zrade021]

hey Teoh, is there a reason you're not using watercolor pencil for your initial sketch instead of the regular pencil? I use that little trick to skip erasing after adding ink, and since I use a neutral color it completely disappears after adding the wash.

[@teohyc]

That's a good idea. Maybe I will try that

[@ewok-breath]

Hi Teoh, you mentioned your tutorials - do you go slow in those and give lots of instruction? Thanks

[@teohyc]

Those are almost realtime tutorials, so they are quite long. Usually around 20 minutes for drawing, another 20 minutes for painting. Usually longer.

[@ewok-breath]

@@teohyc thank you!

[@ladeiroses7526]

I have a question about your skateboard. Is it electric?

[@teohyc]

It's electric

[@rebeccaj8203]

Do you often have assignments for work? How many of your sketches get in the newspaper?

[@teohyc]

Not often. This is a big assignment once in a blue moon.

[@rosemaryrichard2332]

Good drawing! I was wondering is your skateboard electric? You have pretty good balance.😊

[@hansendesigns]

Thx for vid

[@darwinmcquerter7463]

Great job! Did you do this bridge digitally as well?

[@teohyc]

I did. I'll make a comparison video after I complete this bridge project

[@Narrator1999]

^_^In clay art like statue or model what kind of paint we can use❓..

[@teohyc]

I'm not sure about that. Maybe acrylic?

[@trlan55]

If you are going to fire the piece, there are special glazes that you can purchase.

[@catafest]

Do you try the brand Winsor & Newton? I think has the same pigment color area as Daniel Smith watercolor.

[@teohyc]

Winsor Newton is good but significantly more expensive compared to Daniel Smith here in Singapore.

[@catafest]

@@teohyc the price / quality ratio is determinant, however, the quality matters. I suspected there were differences.

[@teohyc]

@@catafest Both are high quality. I don't think I'll be able to tell these two brands apart in a "blind" test

[@shadiyayoosuf8336]

I like to paint dareker color.

[@karenvc8005]

Oh, and cheating is allowed after all. At least you are doing it for good and not evil.
