sketches around Anyang Art park by Mun Sang-hee

Thanks for a great time on yesterday(May 5, 2012).  


1. Park from Shilla dynasty, A3, 2B pencil  I tried to capture the quietness of the place, but ran out of time!





 2. Anyang Cheon, A3, 2B pencil I drew this right after meeting Florence from Belgium. I really enjoyed looking at children playing, celebrating May 5th, Children's Day in Seoul.


I had to leave early, so I couldn't get to say goodbye to Changman, or Mr. Choi, but I had a good time.  I enjoyed meeting everyone,and hope to see you all next time! :)

The Anyang Art Park is located near Gwanak Mountain, about equal distance from Gwanak Station, and Anyang Station, in the city of Anyang just south of the capital Seoul, Korea. The Park set in a wooded valley along the northeast edge of Anyang, and has a lot of interesting formative arts, famous buildings, some cultural properties, well-maintained Buddhist temples, and so on.
Last Saturday, and besides Children's day, the weather was so good for outdoor sketching mixed with crowd and nature. Seoul urban sketchers, including four new comers, had a pleasant sketch time in the fantastic art park. I sketched variegated sceneries around the park to my heart's content excitingly.
Thanks to Choi Seung-won for kind invitation and sharing a meaningful time with all!.
