If you treat it as a must perform, it often does not cometrue. It is more important for you be playful and enjoy the process, to relive anexperience even now, when you sketch and paint” ~ PaulPaul did not always have this light approach to sketching, as his growth in hisart style has developed from a structured and detailed design style with hisInterior Architecture and Technical Theatre Design training. Paul’s technicalbackground included working as a lighting designer for plays and Operasleading him deeper into his desire for visual storytelling. He describes Operawork as an example of a complex international collaboration of truestorytelling. The Singapore chapter of Urban Sketching pulled him back to thestreet to the roadside to hearing the noise and energy of the street scene. Newfriends with the same passion for drawing and having fun in life has been a joyfor Paul. Today, Paul is also an active advisory board member for the UrbanSketchers organization. Paul loves to travel the world but appreciates his ownbackyard too. He describes Singapore as a colorful fusion of ideas and truly anEast meets West place, ideal for pulling ideas from different viewpoints. Paulloves storytelling and urban sketching has “given him a platform to create a plotand draw a storyline, like a stage with compressed storytelling visually”. Paulexplains urban sketching as “Highly sensory visual stories, in a way that youhave to be there, and it is a changing plot, if it shifts, I move along with it. Thefocus of the moment is the present and there is a high level of energy that fitsmy style. I complete most of my work within an hour”.

Paul Wang looks forward to connecting with you personally.
