Last Saturday, for the 56th World Wide SketchCrawl, we usk Seoul members met at

Common Ground (커먼 그라운드) located at Jayang-dong(자양동), Gwangjin-gu(광

진구), Seoul. Common Ground is the largest container shopping mall complex in Korea built with 200 shipping containers, and is capable of transforming into different structures or moving into different places. The architectural form is based on a center

square connecting two buildings. On the central square, a weekend market is held with 

different themes, and visitors can enjoy the light snack at the colorful food trucks that offer an exotic dining experience.

It was a little hot and humid, but a fine day for sketching, I took a fancy to the exotic food truck on the market ground at first sight. After sketching that in watercolors quickly and I drew the impressive container building connected with over bridge and hanging placards in pencil. Then I went upstairs and sketched a scenery of the connections between different buildings in perspective. While sketching, I enjoyed expressing the movements of people coming and going immediately in my picture. We had a very pleasant and lively SketchCrawl!

블루 컨테이너, 원색 잔치의 푸드트럭, 이벤트 광장의 젊은 함성...

쇼핑과 엔터테인먼트의 틈 사이로.... 빛과 색, 열기와 바람이 교차하며

단순미로 살린 건축의 명소가 알뜰한 스케치의 명소로 다시 태어났습니다~~

It was a fine weather, not rainy or not hot too much, even cloudy from time to time. The blue complex building layered by lots of containers, which attracts so many tourists and citizens especially young people. The ground was convenient for us to be able to sit on benches with long tables and big shade canopies here and there. Restaurants and shops located in and out of the building led by steps and bridge. The total space might be not large but the blue color gave exotic mood and seemed to be loved by young ones for taking nice photos. If the area had been planted with ginkgo or maple tress the total color in autumn would have looked so great with the blue container walls, which I felt sorry a little. We had an on-the-spot show at 4 pm. Thanks!

오늘 날씨기 스케치하기에 아주 나쁘지 않았어요. 다행히 커먼 그라운드 마당에 그늘막과 긴 탁자가 놓여있어서 여러 분들이 앉아 편히 스케치를 하셨습니다. 물론 여기 저기 흩어져서 땡볕에서 그리신 분들도 계셨구요. 수고 많으셨습니다. 이국적인 색상의 건물 구조로 잠시 외국 분위기를 느끼면서 그림을 그렸어요. 가을에는 어떤 분위기일지 한번 다시 가보고 싶다는 생각이 듭니다. 

참가하신 분들 : 이용환, 이지현, 한정선, 정영경, 오창환, 이충근, 김해원, 곽윤환, 사공영활, 김영선, 강은정, 강은영, 이정숙, 박수신, 윤재용, 윤재경, 최현주, 유병화, 그리고 새로 오신 분들 - 오일권, 김현우, 김은숙, 이진행, 김미연, 최한윤, 조성애 - 환영합니다.

수고 많으셨고 감사드립니다.
