This has never happened before...It was the sky after a late afternoon shower. The vivid sky blue and glorious clouds captured my unreserved attention. The passing of time as though was halted by the harmonious and yet soul-awakening visual symphony. This was the repercussion from the recent painting trip to Australia. I was surprise that the effects I experienced from the trip still silently present within me. It was there that I first saw what inspired the impressionists – colour-filled shadows. Shadows of the gracefully formed sand waves in brilliant purplish-blue complemented perfectly with bright peach yellow in the light. The trip was a challenging one. Equipped with the arsenal of space, form and colour, we were there to conquer the magnificent Cape Schanck, to capture the rhythmic formation of the rock platform while braving the strong wind, and to be immersed in the romantic atmosphere at the boat-filled piers at the Rocks and Portsea. These are just a few of the many charms that have seduced artists to Mornington Peninsula since the last century. It continues to be the source of inspiration for many artists. It is not a surprise that the Peninsula has since evolved into a vibrant art scene. Artistic pursuit in the area is supported by The Peninsula Art Society. The society serves to promote artistic expression and make art more accessible to the local community. Numerous ongoing activities are organized for its 500 plus members from all walks of life. We managed to meet some of the members at the society’s studio. Rapport was formed, ideas were shared. We were deeply inspired by their enthusiasm and passion for art. It is truly a rewarding art-experience in Mornington Peninsula! -Vincent Chow, participant of our Australia Painting Workshop Tour in March 2008 |

Bali Art Tour 13 - 18 Jun 2008
To many, this is the first time doing outdoor painting. To some, this
is the first time in Bali.
We were in one way or another anxious about what is in store for us
for the next few days. We were all aware of the challenges lie
ahead. Plein air painting is different from painting in a studio which
we were so used to. Thankfully, we had come to a place where
sources of inspiration are bountiful.
Bali itself is a cultural haven. The Balinese live and breathe art. Art
and culture are part of their daily lives. Ceremonies, rituals, dance
and music are seen and heard everywhere. Paintings, crafts,
architecture and interiors are delicately designed and crafted. You
can't help but be moved by the richness of Balinese art and culture.
Bali is also blessed with natural attractions, from sandy beaches to
paddy terraces, lakes and volcanoes. Many foreign artists including
Singapore's pioneer artists were equally inspired by this
enchanting land of art.

For plein air painting, there was no luxury of time and comfort in a studio. We got to choose the
best spot to paint. A best spot that offers nice view to make a good composition and to make
ourselves as comfortable as possible, preferably in the shade. Due to fast changes in lighting, we
were forced to paint fast. We also got to be thick skinned enough to ignore curious onlookers. It
can be a drag to start given the challenges. But once started, we refused to stop and kept
improving – we were determined to make it our best painting.
We gradually adapted to painting outdoor. Our painting speed increased, we learned to focus on
the overall and omit the details. We enjoyed the process while accepting mistakes and failures.
We were satisfied with our effort put in and happy, even surprised with the results and
improvement obtained at the end.
Fruits of the labour tasted extraordinarily sweet after all the hard work. We of course had not
forgotten to reward ourselves with tasty local food, relaxing spas and shopping!
