감사의 말씀

안녕하세요, 서울 어반스케쳐스 회원분들과 함께 더 많은 도심스케치의 추억을 가지고 싶었지만
몰아치는 업무량으로 모임활동에 최선을 다하기가 힘들어 참 아쉽습니다.

전시회의 추억과 회원님들의 따뜻한 격려는 늘  힘이 되었고 앞으로도 잊지못할
소중한 경험입니다.  그림은 좋아했지만 그림을 좋아하는 분들과 함께 그리는
기쁨은 모임에 나와서 처음 느껴본 것 같아요.

더 많은 열정적인 회원분들이 서울어반스케쳐스를 지금처럼, 그리고 앞으로
더욱 빛내주실 것이라 믿습니다. 활동이 제한적이라 늘 죄송한 마음이었어요.
여유가 생길때까지 공식활동을 잠깐 쉬려고 합니다.

그래도 그림과 근황 포스팅은 틈나는대로 suecrose.blogspot.com에 업데이트할 예정입니다!
틈이 나는대로요~^^

감사합니다!

a sketch from the Western Gate Prison

I sketched a few pieces from the Western Gate Prison, but this is the only one looks comprehensible. overall the site was very historic plus ultra-depressing. i know we have to know what happened in the past and learn especially in the season like that independence week, but it's pretty hard to stare at the actual execution house and the trees the prisoners cried on.

kids ran around chasing each other on where it used to be prisoners exercise ground.

Sketches from Kunming Medical College

piles of surveys from urban streets of central Kunming. Young ladies of KMC never forget to bring their sun umbrellas with them. Kunming's altitude is high and the UV exposure is strong. good sunscreen and/or umbrellas won't do any harm!

a garden between the two-almost-identical buildings. people relax and read there.

public health building with the bamboo trees.

People Sketches from Kunming

씩씩하게 잘 돌아왔습니다!!

Kunming, China is amazing city with dynamic contrast of lives. I was lucky to see various parts of the city. Here are some sketches from a wet market(시장), which is like farmer's market in the U.S..

Actually these pieces are from the beef wholesale market right by the wet market. We visited there before noon, but they were already closed in early morning. Just a few people were working on their meat. Three kids were running on the empty meat tables and were very interested in the tourist-looking visitors.

Songpa Library Sketch Class 7/1

thank you so much, members of Seoul Urban Sketchers for the great open sketch classes on 7/1-7/2. it was a great experience letting people guide on how to express their views. the little kids were cute!!

Itaewon, Seoul

the population of the district is very diverse, people openly walk around the streets without anticipating other people's long stares, regardless of their racial and/or religious and/or sexual orientation. love the cultural tolerance.

sketchcrawl at Chungryang ri

For this one I might have to explain a little bit. This isn't surrealism, it's actual scenary if you are nearsighted(badly) and observe the square with bare eyes for a long time. I was wearing sunglasses without prescription, and the people moving around the square wearing colorful outers seemed like flows of bright colors. the flowing dots coming up and down at the upper middle is people on the escalators, and the black hole-ish color absorbing flowing dots are the people constantly coming in/out of the department store. you can also find a few people waiting for someone(dots without trails). It's supposed to be fun just for myself, didn't really thought it's appropriate for the USk blog. But then I read the code of conduct again, seems like it doesn't really violate the rule-capturing what I saw, drew on location, record of the time and place. Thank you ^^
