5.0 out of 5 stars
A wonderful depiction of Kuala Lumpur's majestic architecture & everyday life,
This review is from: Kuala Lumpur Sketchbook (Hardcover)
Most of the Sketchbooks series don't disappoint - they bring to life the architecture of the cities they cover, and also depict the culture and everyday life in the cities. There are over 150 watercolor paintings here that coupled with the sketches provide a wonderful introduction to Malaysia's capital city, covering not just the premier buildings, but also shophouses & typical street scenes. The watercolors and skethches take us on a journey of discovery, from Kuala Lumpur's beginnings as a tin-mining district, to its present status as cosmopolitan capital of Malaysia. The watercolors are lush and the depictions of the historic buildings are majestic. The details are amazing, and I especially admire the juxtaposition of new, modern buildings with older, historic ones. The depiction of everyday life is quite authentic, as we get to see watercolors of typical street scenes [having been to Kuala Lumpur many times myself, I can vouch for this],and of people of various ethnicities going about their daily business. There is even a glossary at the back of the book that provides more information about the major buildings depicted. A treasure of a sketchbook!
