Seven sketchers enjoyed sketching. We greeted new comers, Yoo Hae Lim and Chun So Jeong. Every sksetcher felt exciting while they're concentrating in drawing. We expect them to keep the challenge forwards. Thank you all!

오늘 비교적 포근한 날씨에 유해림 선생님과 천소정양을 포함하여 여러분이 참여하여 즐거운 스케치 시간을 보냈습니다. 앞으로도 스케치에 대한 애정을 간직하시고 늘 함께 하시기를 바랍니다. 감사합니다! 

concert for 2013 Pyeongchang Winter Special Olympic

I visited Seoul Station for sketching. At first I looked around Lotte Outlet, Seoul Station Branch where lots of people were shopping. It looks like a good area for passengers or tourists to spend time and buy goods. After enjoying eye-shopping I moved to the station. I sketched one at the lobby.  While sketching I heard an announcement that there would be a concert wishing the successful "2013 Pyeong Winter Special Olympic(2013 평창 동계 스페셜 올림픽)". The special olympic will be held from Jan 29, 2013 to Feb. 5, 2013 for 8 days at Pyeongchang. I went there and took a seat. It was promoted by Korail, Seoul headquarter under the slogan, "Sharing-Hope Concert(희망 나눔 음악회)" for the Special Olympic. The host(MC) told that the players of the performance and the participants of the special olympic would be the intellectual disabled. So the meaning was very special too.

Kim Ji-hee and her mother on the stage

Her mother told how she became to begin the music and like so much. Ji-hee originally liked art at first and found her talent in the guitar later. Mother kept her seat till her daughter finished her playing. 

Six young dancers of the group "Momzit(Gesture, 몸짓)"

They played the famous song "Gangnam Style" in the ending program.

Samulnori(Korean traditional percussion quartet), of "Ddamtti(heat rash, 땀띠)" group

Everybody liked the exciting and rhythmical beats and sounds of Samulnori.

I enjoyed the concert and sketched. While sketching I recorded some piece for a minute with my mobile. I added them here. Hope the Special olympic's  great success!

The MC asked all the audience to go to Pyeongchang and to encourage all the participants of the Special Olympic. All said "YESSSSSSS!"

어제 시간이 있어서 서울역에 갔어요. 푸드코트에서 점심을 먹었지만 워낙 손님이 많아서 자리 차지하고 앉아 있기는 어려웠고 로비로 나왔습니다. 그래도 바깥의 강추위보다는 그릴만 했구요. 마침 앉을 만한 곳도 있어서 앉아서 여러장 그렸지요. 다 그리고 마치는 순간 비둘기가 날라왔어요. 미리 왔으면 그려넣었을 걸하고 아쉬워했답니다.
(Yesterday I had to spend some hours at Seoul Station. After having lunch at food court and drawing some I came out to the lobby because the food court was so busy with customers at lunch time. I found some good place to sit and could be able to sketch some. When I finished a pigeon flied into the building. I felt sorry that I couldn't draw it in sketch.)

Yesterday I sketched around Seoul Station where I've drawn many times. Seoul Station and the surroundings form an exquisite harmony between the old and new buildings. The more I draw on the same spot, the more I find a new angle.

BH Yoo and KW Jung at Geumsunsa Temple(금선사)

At Geumsunsa we met a woman(김현주) from Netherland who was staying at temple.

Today we heard sad news from Mr. Stephen Kopp that his father-in-law has passed last night. He had planned to sketch with us last Saturday. We felt so sorry because we met his wife Susie and worried about her father. We hope his eternal peace and that they get recovered from deep sorrow soon.

We sketched at Seoul station and Geumsunsa Temple located at Gugi-dong, Bughan mountain.

I've sketched around Seoul Station from time to time for several years. Every time I sketch, I used to light upon the new sceneries to my taste. It's very interesting to sketch the old and new building complexes with crowded people such as Seoul Station. I'll continue to sketch such subjects in my spare time.

Much thanks for the three cups of sweet coffee presented by the kind lady of the coffeeshop(Caffe da Dio) in front of the elevator to the airport railroad. She said that she knew well about the difficulty of outdoor sketching or painting because she was an outdoor artist too! We introduced ourselves giving our catalogues.

Thank you all!!!
