The following sketch was done by Zheng Xiong Xiang from Chine who has met at the observatory. He had shown interest and kept seen our works and had done this being requested. He kept his sketching tools in his sack. We just enjoyed sketching together unexpectedly. I told him about the activity of urban sketchers and city blogs all around the world recommending him to join after visiting the blogs. He visited the place on the way going to the Seoul Museum of Art located nearby.

I drew the above three pieces at the observatory with watercolor.
Margo took me to the nearby coffee shop 'Terarosa' and bought me a cup of coffee 'caffe latte'. The cafe was decorated with kinds of tools for making coffee. I tried one within short time. I sketched before having it not to ruin the pretty shape on the surface of coffee.

Several days' sketching together was meaningful for all of us. Sharing and encouraging was great. Unexpected meeting with unknown sketcher gave delight especially. We could be friends instantly putting out paper for drawing. Hope to have chances to sketch together later at somewhere in this globe. Thank you all, Margo and Zheng Xiong Xiang! Wish you to keep sketching anywhere!
지난 며칠 동안 마고와 서울을 잠시 방문중이었던 Zheng Xiong Xiang과 스케치를 하면서 짧았지만 그림을 대하는 태도와 문화에 대한 나눔이 있었습니다. 그들에게는 번잡한 명동거리보다는 한국적인 것을 보고 느낄 수 있는 공간이 더 매력이 있었구요. 날씨가 추워서 고궁을 직접 그릴 수 없었던 것이 좀 아쉬웠습니다. 우리의 것을 잘 알고 그려야하겠다는 것을 다시금 느낀 시간이었습니다.
