A big thank you to all the participants who joined in our Painting Nature workshop! However, a BIGGER thank you goes to the extra hardworking volunteer artists, Mr Tham Pui San and his Buloh Dabblers for coming down on additional days to prepare for the mural mosaic!
Here are some photos of the preparation work that we did.
-
- Priming tiles with gesso
-
- Laying the tiles out to dry, all 200 of them!
-
- Placing the tiles together on the frame
-
- Drawing the outline of the animals
-
- It’s hard trying to draw something 2m by 2m!

Interested to see the final product? Head down to the Festival of Biodiversity on 26 & 27 May, this weekend, at the Botany Centre of the Singapore Botanic Gardens!
Our Guest-of-Honour, President Tony Tan, will be putting in the final tile to complete the community artwork! The official launch of the Festival of Biodiversity is at 4pm on 26 May 2012, Saturday.
