A few days ago, I took a trip to Turkey with BH Yoo and several Korean tourists. A number of cultural heritage and architecture are dreamy and mysterious. I was deeply impressed by Byzantine style and natural resources. It was a meaningful tour for me to get an opportunity to sketch well-known sceneries.

sketches in Turkey

14 x 19 cm, pen
I sketched this man at the jewelry shop in Turkey while other tours were looking into gem.


25 x 25 cm, pen and watercolor

It was rainy and windy day when we visited the St. Sophia Cathedral, Istanbul, Turkey. As we see in the photos of the cathedral the inside was great and beautiful. How majestic it was! The red flag is of Turkey. Oct. 29 was memorial day of Turkey.
