Whenever 36-year-old Erwin Lian Cherng Zhi cycles back from work, he stops at different locations, and for the next hour or two, takes out his watercolouring equipment and paints the sunset at these locales.

His main body of work comprises watercolor paintings completed on-site, which means no photography or videos to aid in the completion of the painting at a later time.

He paints directly on the canvas, without drafting lines.

A bit time and energy draining perhaps, but you can't argue with the results.
