ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR:
PAUL WANG Paul graduated in Interior Architecture & design from Temasek Polytechnic in Singapore in 1996 and continued with assistance from National Arts Council scholarship to study Technical Theatre in Australia from 1998-1999. He has taught art in Hong Kong at the Singapore International School and is now an adjunct lecturer at Temasek Polytechnic’s school of design in Singapore. His sketches are often bursting with dramatic colours, and my strokes and splashes are spontaneous but sure. I have a distinctive style of using vivid colours and convoluted details to tell a story behind each sketch. Plein-air sketching has become my unique way of encapsulating the fast changing urban landscape here in Singapore and around the region. He is an Urban Sketchers’ correspondent for Singapore since 2010. He is also a key member of the USk’s Singapore group and has facilitated several monthly sketchwalks and group exhibitions. He was an instructor for USk’s Symposium in Barcelona (2013), Singapore (2015) and most recently workshop instructor for the 8th & 9th Symposium in Manchester and Chicago. He also conduct regular drawing workshops for the Geography Teachers’ Association and for the Singapore Teachers’ Academy. His sketches have also been featured in Moleskine’s Art Journal series (2011), The Art of Urban Sketching (2012), Freehand Drawing & Discovery (2013), The Urban Sketching Handbook (2014), National Geographic Traveller Magazine (2014) and Creative Sketching Workshop (2015). paulartsg.wix.com/paulwang IG: paulwang_sg
