AUGUST 2015 SKETCHWALK AT JALAN DATO ONN, JOHOR BAHRU.

Starting from August 2015, Johorsketchers will have one official monthly sketch outing 2nd week of every month. So, on August 15th, we had chosen Jalan Dato Onn, Johor Bahru for our monthly sketchwalk.

Together we gathered in-front of High Court main entrance gate at 9:00am. We were thrilled to see a few new faces joining that morning.  

 

After hearing a relaxed and informal briefing given, as per usual, we dispersed to our strategic location along Jalan Dato Onn where we can see the High Court standing and Johor Bahru Town Council at the end of the street.

After sharing our sketches, a few of us walked over to Azmi Corner for a drinks and conversation about 5min walking distance from our main location. 

If you are interested in joining us at our next event in September, keep an eye out for an announcement in our facebook group page and blog.

 
If you have any questions about Johorsketchers, feel free to email us at mhn54200@gmail.com. If you live in the Johor Bahru area and are interested in joining our group, find us on Facebook .

Look forward to seeing everyone at September's event!

Pendas Laut, Gelang Patah, 15 Nov 2014

15 nov 2014 we went to Pendas. Pendas is part of iskandar Region Development area. Soon, the traditional slow pace lifestyle here will be gone. On the other side of the river, we see land being cleared to make way for construction. Sad to see old fishing village being bulldozed and soon forgotten. 

KUKUP, PONTIAN & MUAR

The month of October saw many sketching activities. The notable ones were:

1. Pontian and Sketchwalk on 22 October, the same date as the Deepavali holiday. We sketched the Pontian fishing pier in the morning then in the afternoon we went to Kukup to do Stilt Village.

After the sketchwalk, we were treated with high tea by the gallery at a restaurant. And we did a share session in the restaurant. The owner of the gallery, Mr Ivan, shared some tips on gallery operation.
