A few days ago, I visited the Korea's largest shopping mall recently opened, located in Hanam City, Gyeonggi-do, southeast of Seoul. Starfield Hanam, anchored by retail giant Shinsegae Department Store, is a unique shopping theme park that provides the experience of shopping, leisure, entertainment, and healing all in one place for families, teenagers, and Korea’s most discerning buyers. While sketching I was impressed by the long facade of the massive building composed of various forms, and inside building the curvilinear formed interior designs including the wonderful skylight shaped like the biggest whale.
I drew colorful scenes here and there going up and down the huge shopping mall in the crowd of visitors. It was very exciting sketch time trying to draw various forms and movements on such a vast place.

국내 최대 규모의 단일 쇼핑몰~
길고 다양한 형태의 복합 디자인 외관
자유곡선이 물결치는 드넓은 옥내공간
거대하고 환상적인 곡선 천창과 온갖 실내조명
수많은 방문객의 천차만별한 움직임과 행태들...
단일 장소로는 마치 스케치 소재의 천국 같습니다.

Drawings at Starfield Hanam

pen, oil pastels, 22 x 31.5 cm

It took two hours by buses from home to Starfield Hanam. But sketching there was very exciting. Curved lines inside the building were not easy to draw but long and broad corridors with soft stools gave convenient surroundings for visitors, especially for sketchers. I started from 10:30 am and kept drawing except lunch time till 4:30 pm. I used pen and oil pastels by which I felt so free different from watercolor. So many people all around the mall in various views presented endless objects for drawings. Delicious food in lots of restaurants was additional joy for visitors. 

오랜만에 비가 온다는 현충일에 스타필드 하남에 갔어요. 며칠전에 가보고 엄두도 안나던 많은 모습들을 수채화로 시작하다가 이내 오일 파스텔로 바꾸어 그리면서 마음도 가벼웠고 쉽게 접근할 수 있었어요. 어릴때 크레용칠하는 기분으로 보이는대로 그려보았구요. 밑그림은 펜으로 주로 그렸습니다. 멋진 자동차들을 그려보는 즐거움도 누렸구요. 번잡스러운 수채보다 편하여 이동이 간편하여서인지 많이 그려볼 수 있어서 앞으로도 애용해볼까 싶습니다. 다양한 얼굴의 스타필드가 스케쳐들로부터도 사랑받았으면 합니다. 

How about this sudden meetup?

Hi guys,
Tomorrow is a holiday, Memorial day(June 6th). YH Lee and I visited Starfield Hanam last saturday. The scale of the building was big and cool inside. It seemed to be worthy for us to challenge as urban sketchers. We try to go and sketch there tomorrow. We may start from 10:30 as usual. Hope you to join us if possible!
Let's meet while sketching in corridors around stools set here and there.

지난 토요일에 스타필드 하남에 다녀왔어요. 영등포의 타임스퀘어나 합정동의 메세나폴리스에서 보아왔던 모습이 확장된듯하였습니다. 색은 단색이었구요. 새로운 명소가 되어가는 곳이어서 다소 멀지만 내일 다시 가기로 했습니다. 급한 알림이지만 시간이 되는 분들은 함께 하시면 반갑겠습니다. 실내가 무한히 넓은 것은 아니어서 이곳 저곳을 그리노라면 만나게 될듯합니다. 관심있는 분의 참석을 바랍니다.
