The Poor Cousins by Seok Yam Chew

This is a Super watercolour Seok, especially as it is painted 'on the spot' so to speak. ( As I can't speak French I try to avoid 'arty' phrases in that language) lol. The little boats are particularly well drawn and painted. It is true in all developed countries that the rich and poor live so closely to each other.

I agree with Stephen, it's a beauty and all credit to you for painting this outside. Gorgeous, soft colour as well!

Agree with Stephen Seok, this is a super image, and you have painted it beautifully. The water with the reflections is great and I love the washes on the boats - great harmony, with that bright green awning drawing the attention into the picture. Done on the spot as well, well done !

This is a super watercolour painting Seok, love the freshness of the colours you have achieved and the overall composition of the piece, and painted plein air as well, really impressed with what you have achieved , another great painting for the portfolio .

I envy your ability with watercolour Seok, this is a beautiful painting, giving us another interesting insight of life in Singapore!

A smashing picture.

Lovely work, Seok. The boats stand out really well against the subtle background and the delicate colours of the water. I agree with, Christine more please.

Aren't they just beautiful these " poor cousins"! Seok, you have a fantastic touch with watercolours and the colours you use are always bright and cheerful but subtle at the same time. Lovely work!

superb as always Seok

These look far more interesting Seok than 'posh' yachts, beautiful.

Thanks so very much, everyone!

Delightful watercolour Seok, you have taken them above their 'poor relation' status I think!

Nearly missed this one - lovely work as usual Seok and interesting subject, nice work!!!

I must agree with Carole, these traditional boats you have depicted are the real beauties! Lovely work.

Nice work Seok!

Thanks very much, Fiona, Debs, Avril and Sarah!
