king's chair of Joseon dynasry with big painting in the background, which was made by 65 % of real scale in Gyeongbokgung(palace)

It was very cold though we couldn't compare it with the terrible icy weather in north America. But some great sketchers challenged to draw outdoor. Every time I visit there I feel just small in front of all those masterpieces. We enjoyed both appreciating treasures and drawing them. Being in the space full of great works would enhance our taste too.

Thank you all!

요즘같은 추위에 국립중앙박물관을 방문하는 것만해도 보람있는 일이라고 생각됩니다. 거기에 한점 두점 그려나가면서 선조들의 피땀과 애환이 담긴 보물들을 가까이 보는 기회를 자주 가졌으면 합니다. 추운 날씨에 참여하신 분들께 감사드립니다.

참여하신 분들 : 이용환, 이충근, 한정선, 최정은, 김미옥, 조은비(새로 오신 분), 유병화
