Yesterday, the weather was so fine to sketch under the autumn sky.  We Seoul urban sketchers including a foreign new comer, Nancy Ho, met together around Deoksugung 
Palace and had a good sketch time all day. Deoksugung Palace is one of the most famous attractions for Korean traditional palace with history in downtown Seoul. The palace sits alongside a series of modern style buildings that add to the uniqueness of the surrounding scenery. We sketched the colorful traditional buildings inside the palace through the morning, and after lunch we moved to Jeong-dong adjacent to the palace. There are a lot of attractive subject matters for sketching such as beautiful stonewall walkway, various church buildings, museums, modern architectural properties and the traditional festivals for many tourists and visitors. I liked such subjects and enjoyed sketching around Jeong-dong for a long time. I sketched lovely scenes in historic downtown Seoul with a peace of mind as ever.

가을하늘~~ 덕수궁과 정동을 중심으로 펼치는 파노라마는
시청과 광화문, 종로와 남대문, 명동과 서울역을 어우르며
모든 요소가 무궁무진 깔려있는... 그리면 그릴수록 새로워지는,
그토록 수없이 그려도 그려도 지루하지 않은... 열린 스튜디오~
어반스케치 명소중의 명소라고 느껴집니다.

그리신 장소를 생각하면 정말 빨리 많이 그리셨네요... 구도를 보니 어디 앉아 그리셨는지 그리시는 모습이 상상이 됩니다.. 휙휙~~

덕수궁과 근처의 모습 전체를 시원하게 그려주신 그림을 보고 있으면 마치 제가 그곳에 있는 느낌입니다.

한국의 미를 외국인과 함께 공유한다는 것은 의미가 있네요. 빠른 터치가 시원스럽습니다~
