Want to learn art? Or looking for hiring an art teacher?
Either one, you are in the right place. I offer art lessons and I also help institutions to teach art.
Little More About Me
Hi, my name is Keat Leong, also known as Zundeng. That's how the name of Zundeng Art came about.
Like many children, I loved to draw when I was young. I used to doodle all the time; even my textbooks would filled with all sorts of sketches.
But as I grew up and got busy with work, I gradually put down my pencils and brushes. For years, I didn’t make time for art
My Art Journey
Until one day, I came across Pastel Nagomi Art. Its simplicity, softness, and quiet beauty caught my attention immediately.
That moment rekindled something in me. I signed up for the Pastel Nagomi Art Instructor Course without any hesitation.
Slowly found my way back to creating art. I fell in love with the process all over again.
Then the pandemic hit. Like many others, I faced a wave of challenges and unexpected setbacks. But in the midst of it all, art became a turning point. Creating art helped me stay calm during uncertain times.
When the lockdown began, I collaborated with fellow Pastel Nagomi Art instructors to offer free online Nagomi Art lessons.
These sessions brought comfort to many, and slowly, Pastel Nagomi Art began to gain wider attention from the public.
What first felt like a crisis turned into an unexpected opportunity.
One day, I was invited by PassionArts under the Singapore People’s Association to lead a live-streamed Pastel Nagomi Art workshops during the lockdown.
To my surprise, the programmes were well received by the public. Since then, what started as a hobby has grown into my full-time career as an art educator.

Singapore Art Trainer
Now, I am a freelance art trainer leading creative art workshops for children, adults, and seniors. I specialise in Pastel Nagomi Art, a Japanese art form that uses soft pastels and finger blending to create gentle, calming artwork. My sessions are relaxing, beginner-friendly, and open to all.
In addition to Nagomi Art, I also teach:
• Acrylic painting
• Dotting art
• Oil pastel
• Mosaic and clay art
• Block printing and other creative techniques
Workshops I offer
Through Zundeng Art, I offer a variety of art programmes including:
• Art workshops at community centres and schools
• Art booths for public events and festivals
• Corporate team bonding and art jamming
• Senior-friendly sessions that promote wellness
• Certification courses for aspiring instructors
• Custom art commissions and mural/community projects
Whether it’s an intimate class or a large-scale public event, I believe that art brings people together—and helps us slow down, express ourselves, and find peace.
Qualifications and Teaching Style
I am:
• A MOE-registered art trainer
• A People’s Association registered instructor
