We had a meeting last Saturday. Though we couldn't gather in a massive group it was a happy time after months since last April. And we were glad to see Daniel Thomas Faller again. He came from Switzerland and had interest in Korean culture and our sketching group. 

The weather was really fine with light blowing. The allies and streets were not busy with travelers because of COVID. But we felt sorry to see vacant shops with "For Rent".  We started sketching at the meeting place with benches under shadow of big trees. Lots of sketchers gathered to share greeting and departed soon to their sketching places at Myeongdong. Offline sketching made us feel alive. 

Hope this pandemic to be ended as soon as possible and see you all!

 

오랜만에 모임이라 많은 분들이 참여하셨고 예쁜 선물도 주셔서 감사했습니다. 작은 크기의 패드에 그림도 그려보고 즐거운 시간 가졌습니다. 관광객의 감소로 거리는 전과 달리 복잡하지 않아서 좋았지만 빈 상가들이 눈에 띄여 어려움을 실감할 수 있었구요. 하루빨리 정상적인 생활로 돌아갔으면 하는 마음으로 돌아 왔습니다. 건강히 지내시고 다음 모임에 뵙겠습니다.
