I’ve been filming art store tours in Melbourne Australia. If ever I get to visit Singapore, I’m definitely adding Art Friend to my list! Looks awesome…especially all of the papers. ❤

😊🙏 This brought back so many fond memories of our schooling times ... Stationary stores have these inspiring smells from their various products that reminded us about our incoming Art Projects! Used to frequented bookstores or stationary stores like Popular Bookstores , MPH , Kinokuniya , Borders & one particular stationary stores always team-up with CD Rama music shoplets in many MRT Stations back in 1990s & early 2000s ... Was it Art Friend?! OMG , forgotten about that once popular stationary stores! Thank You So Much for sharing! 😊🙏🌷🌿🌍✌💜🕊🇸🇬🇲🇾🇦🇺

Teoh, I'm from Waterford, Ireland. About 75,000 population. We don't have ONE dedicated art store. 3 or 4 shops have a section where most of the supplies are not even student grade, absolute garbage. I nearly fell over when I saw the Derwent display 😳 Ironically, it's a town very close to where I live, very short plane ride to reach it, yet you have a huge variety of products available to you all the way over in Singapore. Derwent is a river BTW. Thanks for the tour 👏

Yeah, to find dedicated art shops in Ireland you have to go to the cities, or order online (which I do more often than my wallet would like it to xD ).

Great videos as usual I love your videos. This one was like Aladdin’s cave so tempting. Thank you for the info on the watercolour papers. My sister lived in Singapore from 1965 to 1980 her husband worked there. I was a teenager and used to visit and I loved Singapore. Orchard Road was really leafy in the 60s/70s. No big shopping malls. Then there was the huge store CK Tang? I have great memories. I’m Australian. Thank you, Kathy.😊

I sketch and watercolor in the Hahnemuhle Nostalie sketchbooks right now. The paper is smooth and nice for fountain pen, fine liners, and colored pencil as well. For some reason they are easier to find right now than Moleskine watercolor books which I've always like.

I enjoyed the tour. I doubt I will ever get to Singapore, but it is interesting to see other cities in other countries. One can learn a lot by seeing how other people live, dress, eat, and interact with one another. Always interesting to see. I do have one question for you, ‘Are you planning on attending the symposium in New Zealand? I’ll never get there either, but the videos and the sketches will tell me a lot about the country. Looking forward to your next video. -OkieSketcher1949

You CAN refill those “disposable” Pigma Micron pens if the nib is still good when they’re empty… just pull the nib with tweezers and drip some Bombay/Indian ink in with a syringe… cheap and waterproof! But I agree, fountain pens are better anyways 🤗 I bought some myself after watching you use them a couple years ago 🤗🤗🤗

You have lots of brands there that I've never seen before. Looks like a great store. Here in New Zealand I've found some Winsor and Newton branded sketchbooks with 100% cotton paper at a really reasonable price compared to the other 100% cotton sketchbooks available here. They're made in Malaysia but I can't find them mentioned anywhere on Winsor and Newtons website so I wonder if it's just something they're trying out down here? You can buy them online slightly cheaper but if you're interested in having a look while you're down here for the Sketcher's symposium you should be able to find some in the Warehouse Stationery shops. I'm fairly new to sketching so don't have much experience with different brands but these are my favorite books from what I've tried so far.
