Food Journaling In Watercolor With James Lim
Join artist James Lim, founder of IG @cafesketcherssg, for an engaging workshop on Food Journaling. Whether you are a seasoned traveller with a notebook full of culinary memories or a curious foodie looking for a creative outlet, this session offers a thoughtful approach to documenting food experiences through drawing and painting.
Discover the art of food storytelling as you learn how to capture meals, moments, and environments with clarity and character. James will guide you through practical techniques, from sketching dishes and recording textures to combining line and wash for expressive results. The focus is on developing a personal visual language that reflects your own encounters with food.
Participants will explore different approaches to food journaling, including quick observational sketches and more detailed studies. You will learn how to simplify forms, suggest detail without overworking, and build compositions that feel both personal and complete. The session also encourages sharing and discussion, creating a space to exchange ideas and learn from fellow participants.
This workshop is suited for travellers, food enthusiasts, and anyone interested in combining art with everyday experiences. It offers a hands-on process that builds confidence and leaves you with a meaningful visual record of your culinary journey.
