The Esplanade in Singapore is probably the most challenging building to draw for me. I find it difficult to interpret the spiky thorns.

I was trying to use the parapet to guide the eye to the Esplanade. I guess it sort of works, except I forgot to keep the highlights for the building so now there's really no focal point -- you won't even know which is the Esplanade -- it's that building with curves by the top right. Well, every painting you make, you learn something.

Materials: Fabriano Artistico Traditional White 300GSM, Kremer Pigments.

Colours used: Pyramid-Yellow Medium, Irgazine® Ruby, Cobalt Blue Dark, Cobalt Blue Light, Phthalo Green Dark, Italian Raw Sienna, Burnt Umber Dark Brown
