It was a real humid day on summer rainy season. We finished our small exhibition located underneath the Gwangjin bridge of Hangang(Han River). Whenever I visited the gallery I had to come out of the exit no. 2, Gwangnaru station. Near the junction I could see a kiosk where a couple kept boiling corns selling other snacks. I like boiled corns so much and couldn't pass it. When I came home I bought some there. He seemed to boil them properly in a good taste. And I felt that I had to draw the kiosk before the ending day of exhibit. Today I carried out my duty to sketch it. And on my way coming home I bought some. It was very cloudy and rainy from time to time on bridge. I tried to draw two more inside the gallery using watercolor and conte pencil. Thank you again for visiting!

오늘 전시 마지막 날이었어요. 흐린 날씨에다 빗방울까지 오락가락해서 전시 끝나기 전에 그리려고 했던 다리 위의 작은 정원 모습은 결국 못그렸어요. 역시나 미루어서는 장담이 안된다는 것을 깨닫고 전시장 안이 그래도 시원해서 안에서 내다 보면서 두장 더 그렸습니다. 가며 오며 보았던 광나루 역 2번 출구 가까이에 있는 옥수수 삶는 아저씨 가게를 꼭 그려보아야지 했는데 오늘 마지막 날이라 더 미룰 수 없어서 점심전 무더위 속에서 한장 그렸어요. 오늘도 집에 오는 길에 옥수수 몇자루 사왔구요. 무더위에 옥수수 삶는 아저씨 내외분의 수고에 맛나게 먹으며 왔답니다. 

그동안 전시회를 찾아주시고 예쁜 글을 남겨주신 많은 분들께 감사드립니다.

one sketch at the Riverview 8th Avenue

scene in gallery, pencil, watercolor, 40.6 x 30.5 cm

The space of the gallery is a half of a sort of oval type surrounded by panes of glass. The panels to hang pictures are movable. The features they make may be different every time by each artist's taste. Though the space may be small to some artists who want to show big canvases it seems to be very characteristic by transparent glass walls through which visitors enjoy the riverside scenery and above all its floor which shows ever flowing river. Some visitors cheered seeing big carps in river. Today I tried to capture the inside scenery seated on the floor of the gallery. Those rectangular shapes seen from top to bottom caught my eye. 

오늘은 전시장 안 모습을 그려보았어요. 김미경샘은 매일같이 오시는 친지분들을 접대하시느라 애쓰시는데 저희는 그림그리는 것으로 당번을 대신 했어요. 김미경샘의 울산 초등학교 친구분이 선물로 가져오신 장미 바구니의 달달한 꽃내음을 저혼자 맡으면서 시원한 갤러리 풍경을 담아보았어요.

Kim Mikyung was talking with me waiting for her friends' visits.

On third day of exhibition we met at the gallery greeting visitors and sketching too. The more we draw the more we feel the attractive scenery and structure of the place. Today the wind seemed to be lesser than the previous days. Many citizens including young couples, bicyclers, tourists, and families visited the place. Among them there was a couple who showed much interest in YH Lee's drawing. Introducing urban sketching he drew her and presented it to her. She liked it a lot. Though the weather was not clear but the atmosphere on river was nice to sketch with supporting steel beams. 

We thank all the visitors for visiting and leaving your encouraging comments too.

오늘 전시 사흘째 되는 날에 광진교 8번가에 다시 나갔습니다. 주말이라 방문객이 끊임없이 오시더군요. 전시도 보고 발아래 흐르는 물을 배경으로 사진도 찍고 즐거운 시간을 보내셨습니다. 광진교에는 보행자들이 걷기 좋게 작은 정원도 있고 곳곳에 벤치, 음수대, 화장실도 있어서 시민들을 위한 배려심이 고마웠습니다. 갤러리 옆 방에는 저녁에 작은 콘서트, 영화 상영도 있다고 합니다. 동네 사시는 분들은 작은 문화 공간이 쉼터도 되고 다리위를 산책하는 멋을 매일 누리실 것같아 부럽더군요. 이번 전시회를 계기로 그곳 풍치를 많이 담아오고 싶습니다.

방문하신 모든 분들께 감사드리고 남기신 격려의 말씀도 소중히 간직하겠습니다.

two more sketches at the Riverview 8th Avenue

Today I went to the bridge to sketch more around the bridge including Hangang citizen's park at southern riverside. But the severe wind by typhoon I just stayed drawing scenes from the round deck of the gallery. 

오늘 광진교 8반가에 다시 가서 스케치 두점 했습니다. 시민공원에 내려가려고 했는데 바람이 세차서 갤러리 주변을 더 그려보았어요. 해도 해도 끝없는 드로잉 소재같습니다.

sketch at the Gwangjin Bridge, Han River

The Gwangjin Bridge is loved by people because it's possible for citizens to walk the bridge enjoying riverside scenery sitting on benches while crossing. And there's a nice place, the Riverview 8th Avenue in the middle of the bridge, where various kinds of art programs are held such as movies, exhibits, and lover's proposal events even. I could visit there with MK Kim, Seoul Urban Sketcher for sketching and looking round the gallery. It was very special for the visitors to be able to see the river run under the tempered glass of the gallery floor. I couldn't walk on it for the fear. You can see here. We enjoyed all the time after long time no see. 

김미경샘의 안내로 광진교 8번가에 처음 가보았습니다. 한강에 다리가 워낙 많아 가보지 못한 곳이 많은데 광진교는 죽 걸어가는 도중에 벤치가 놓여있어서 스케쳐들에게는 아주 좋은 장소더군요. 특히나 중간에 위치한 전망쉼터가 일품이었어요.

모처럼 만나서 이야기도 많이하고 편의점에서 라면을 직점 끓여주는 기계도 처음 접하고 놀라고 즐거웠어요. 비오는 날 뜨거운 라면이야 거부할 수 없지요. 맛난 커피마시며 바라보는 한강의 경치는 멋진 추억이 될 것같습니다. 김미경샘께 감사드리며 종종 만나 좋은 시간 가졌으면 합니다.

Last Saturday, the 45th worldwide SketchCrawl, usk Seoul members met at Yeouinaru, which is adjacent  to the Han River. There are lots of subjects to sketch in Yeouinaru.  Han River and the surrounding sceneries including riverside high-rise buildings, cruise terminal crowded with passengers, colorful ships and boats fascinated us. Many buildings and bridges over the Han River presented the dramatic view of the panoramic skylines along the riverside. We enjoyed an exciting sketch time in the riverside open park.

주말의 한강은 사람이 참 많아요.

햇볕이 너무 좋은 날이었습니다.

야외에서 가족과 친구들과 함께 자전거도 타고, 돗자리 깔고  노는 모습은 참 좋더군요.

수압을 이용한 신종 수상레져도 신기하기만 했습니다.

시범을 보여주신 분이 수퍼히어로처럼 멋있었습니다.

A few days ago, the weather was oppressively hot and humid, I went out sketching to Ttukseom Hangang Park to avoid the hot summer. Ttukseom Hangang Park, located on the banks of the Han River in Seoul, is a very pleasant area to enjoy some leisure time in natural surroundings. Hundreds of people unable to leave Seoul's asphalt jungle crowded swimming pool or the Han River's banks to try to escape the heat. 

I sketched some lively sceneries from place to place around Ttukseom Resort near the Han River.

서울 천혜의 한강변 소재는 무궁무진합니다~~~

땡볕의 스케치는 극기훈련이지만 땀 흘린 후의 상쾌함은 뚝섬 유원지의 삼복더위를 날려 주는 듯 합니다.

Needless to say it was an ice-cold day. But the view from the station and apartment was fantastic.

Thank you all for participating and the wholehearted hospitality of KW Jung at her village!

Brown Han River due to flood

sketchcrawl at Doogsum Resort, Han River

What a wonderful scenery it was! Cloudy weather added some points on the riverscape. Sketchers were fascinated by the picturesque scenes formed by bridge, overbridges, new buildings, beautiful lawn, and people full of energy on the open flea market held on the ground. After sketching and having lunch at the nice restaurant 'Soman' located inside the so-called 'Looper' exhibition building, we went to the appointed frame shop and decided each frame and cost. Thanks all for participating and cooperating for the successful exhibitions!

뚝섬한강공원

다음 스케치행사 장소인 뚝섬 한강공원에 다녀왔습니다.

자벌레건물에서 한강 풍경이나 공원을 전망하기가 좋고 내부에 쉴 수 있는 공간도 넉넉해서 좋았습니다.

강물 위에 떠있는 절을 한 장 그리고 돌아왔습니다.

The 28th Sketchcrawl

늦게 그림 올립니다.

이번 크롤도 참석 못 할 뻔 했는데... 구제하러 와 주셔서 얼마나 감사한지 모릅니다.

열심히 할께요~~
