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

scenery of south end of the bridge, charcoal, A 4

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.
