To me, live sketching is not just about providing surface-level entertainment or turning guests into idealized fashion illustrations. It is about capturing what is real in an authentic, artistic way.

Portraiture has a reputation for being expensive, exclusive, and intimidatingly difficult. I wanted to create a comprehensive, thoughtful module that would genuinely lift the average standard of portrait drawing here in Singapore—making this traditionally elite, gatekept skill affordable and deeply achievable for anyone who wants to learn.

Think about it: if Van Gogh were alive today, sitting at a café down the street—unkempt, talking to himself, and desperately trying to trade a wet canvas for a sandwich—most people wouldn't pull out their wallets to buy his work. They’d probably just walk a little faster past his table.
