I happened to buy a very small sketch pad days ago because I needed some enough sheets for animal drawings at Children's Grand Park. It costed just one thousand won but it had about 150 sheets. I couldn't use them all at the park. But I loved to use the pad while sketching at the PBA(Professional Billiards Association) Tour Tryout in MVL Hotel Goyang.  Lots of games were under going from Apr. 21 to May 1. The place was more luxurious than the billiards clubs. Both players and visitors could enjoy the games. Hoped the PBA to develop for the players and the favorites on the first year forwards.

며칠 전에 갑자기 대공원에 가려는데 아무래도 종이가 부족할 듯하여 다이소에서 천원짜리 제일 작은 패드를 샀습니다. 겉표지에 메모장이라고 쓰여있더군요. 12 센티짜리 정사각형으로 주머니에도 들어갈 정도로 귀여웠어요. 다행히 매수가 많아 안심하고 샀습니다. 그런데 그것이 쓰기 편하여 요즘 프로 당구 협회가 생기면서 고양에 위치한 엠블 호텔 2층 그랜드 볼룸에서 프로 선수 선발전이 11일에 걸쳐 열리는지라 다소 멀지만 두번이나 가서 그 종이를 요긴하게 쓰고 있습니다. 너무 작은 종이에만 그리는 것이 뭐해서 A 4 크기 종이에도 한장 그렸는데 심판보는 젊은 분이 와서 그림 좀 보여 달라시더니 왜 얼굴을 좀 제대로 그려주지 않았느냐고 농담으로 하시더군요. 모두들 많이 호의적이십니다. 조용히 스케치하는 것으로 프로당구의 출범을 축하하고 성공을 빌어 보았습니다.

at Omori restaurant, Baekseok(백석), Ilsan dong-gu(일산 동구), Goyang City

A few days ago, I went to Omori(오모리)noodle restaurant located in Goyang City(고양시) near Seoul for lunch with my family. The restaurant was so crowded for it was peak time. While having lunch, I sketched some patrons at another table eating variety of foods in hall and room pleasantly.  After lunch, I sketched the new Goyang Bus Terminal building(고양 터미널) across the road.

일산 신도시는 서울에서 가깝고, 먹거리를 즐기며 도시풍경을 스케치하기에 좋은 장소입니다. 아파트와 빌딩, 편의시설, 호수 공원, 각종 이벤트가 어우러지는 활기찬 소재들을 편하게 그릴 수 있는 곳입니다.

several sketches at Heungguksa Temple (흥국사) in Goyang City

This autumn I visited Heungguksa Temple twice for temple sketching. The temple is not so far from my village and access road is pretty smooth to approach. In the precincts of the temple,The yellow chrysanthemums were in full glory all over the place and I was fascinated by the scenic beauty of the colorful fall leaves around the temple. A number of temple buildings, including Yaksajeon (1686~),were well arranged harmoniously combined with one another surrounding the courtyard. 

Sketching the traditional architecture is very helpful for me to develop the sense of proportion.

흥국사는 서울 근교의 가까운 사찰로 넓고 아늑한 분위기를 지닌 고찰입니다. 

완만한 사찰 진입로 주변과 평탄한 경내 건물들을 돌며 스케치하기에 좋습니다. 

높낮이의 자연스러운 흐름, 단절과 이음사이의 분위기, 형태의 구성미.... 

전통건축 스케치는 비례, 대칭, 균형, 조화~~그릴수록 도움이 되는 훌륭한 소재입니다.
