sketches at Incheon wharf (인천 연안부두)

It was shiny and warm. I kept sketching a couple on a boat and the wall which showed the trace of the ebb and tide of the sea. Though the structural components of the wharf such as old wall, bridge, boats are same but the features they make are different every time. While I drawing the boat it keeps moving to and fro. The various scenes never disappoint me. 

오늘 모처럼 인천에 다녀왔습니다. 날씨도 좋았고 마른 재료로 따뜻한 곳에 앉아 드로잉을 많이 하였구요. 언제나 생명이 넘치는 곳, 인천은 저를 실망시키지 않았습니다. 작은 배에서 굴을 까는 부부의 모습도 아름다왔습니다.

정말 오랫만에 인천을 가게 되었습니다.  서울이 스케치의 보고라 이곳 저곳 다니느라 시간 가는 줄 몰랐는데 잊고 있었던 인천은 또 다른 명승지였어요. 적어도 스케쳐에게는.  탁 트인 바다와 햇빛에 반짝이는 건너편 건물들, 눈 앞에 출항을 앞두고 쌓여있는 커다란 부표며, 노란 어망들...출격을 기다리는 형형 색색의 배라니...다 못그리는 것이 아쉬울 따름이었습니다. 날이 많이 추워서 4시경에는 빠레트 물에 살얼음이 지기 시작하여 걷고 돌아오는 내내 '역시 인천!'하며 다시 갈것을 다짐하였습니다. 서울하고 가까운 인천때문에 서울을 더 사랑하게 됩니다. 스케쳐로서...

I visited Inchon pier last Saturday, after a long time. The scenery was always great with moving ships, sunlit buildings across the sea, and nets, piled big buoys. It was very cold with wind, colder than in Seoul. But the panoramic seascape was just great, which made me feel refreshed.

For our sketchers, Hwasu Wharf is one of the most attractive place in old town Incheon.

There were plenty variegated subjects, such as the fisherboat and the ironworks, moreover the memoried sceneries of the old aged village. Each time I visit Incheon, I amuse myself by sketching this and that freely at the harmonious wharf.

sketches at Inchon city

Two sketches were made in front of a ice producing and selling company located at Whasoo wharf of Inchon. I drew the red brick building several times in watercolor, but this time I used charcoal. Men were mending something there.

Last may I drew this building located in Inchon city, which was known as Baekdu Glass. But this time its signboard had new name as Seoul Sangsa(Trading company) with new door and windows.

two sketches at Inchon city

Today I went to Inchon city for sketching. The left one was drawn at Hwa-soo Wharf and the right one was made at the village near Dowon Station. Whenever I go there I feel it shows endless features, which has many kinds of ports, Int'l Airport nearby, large scale factory sites, china town, old and new villages.... I thank for Inchon city and am satisfied with the fact that I can arrive there within one hour.

I sketched on the wharf at Incheon last Dec. It was bitterly cold outdoors, I had no choice but to sketch in my car looking out of a window. It was another good experience for outdoor sketchers.

Inchon is one of my favorite sketching places. It's near to Seoul and has many subjects to draw. Hope to go there with Seoul sketchers soon!

I often go to Inchon city for sketching. Last February I sketched a big passenger ship and an excavator at Inchon ports. Inchon city has a lot of subjects for sketching.
