from his sketchbook, portrait of his friend



Steve sketched Lee Yong-hwan at the restaurant while we had lunch.

I took photos with my cellular phone. So the pencil lines are not clear. I thank Steve for permitting to take pictures. I admire his honest and sincere attitude for art and human relationship. We enjoyed the meetings and promised to sketch together next time.

We had lunch after finishing sketching at Namdaemun market.

Kim Kyung-hee, Lee Yong-hwan, and Steve from the left were busy with sketching at Namdaemun Market, Seoul.

Grand drum laid in front of Duck-soo Palace for the ceremony of alternating of a chief of gatekeepers in traditional clothes. But due to the cold weather the regular event was postponed.

I drew this at Namdaemun market, Seoul

At the Anglican church of Korea I sketched this one with chalk holder. Though the weather was not warm at all sketching with other friends was always fun and pleasing. Thanking for Steve and his attractive wife, Susie, and his lovely daughter to participate in this hard weather, we promised to meet again and again in Seoul and in Sydney someday! Thanks for all participants too! See you in next sketchcrawl soon!

I sketched on the wharf at Incheon last Dec. It was bitterly cold outdoors, I had no choice but to sketch in my car looking out of a window. It was another good experience for outdoor sketchers.

Sketchcrawl 2 with Steve from Sydney

Mr. Lee presented his portraits of them at the Francisco Hall.

지난 29일에 만나서 스케치했던 스티브씨와 오는 1월 9일 토요일 오전 11시에 덕수궁 앞에서 다시 만나 스케치하기로 했습니다. 진지하고도 열정적인 그의 작업태도에 감명을 받았으며 다시 한번 스케치를 함께 할 수 있어 감사한 마음입니다. 그날의 스케줄은 확정되지 않았으나 남대문 시장의 알파문구 안내도 해볼까하며 시장에서 스케치좀 하다가 명동을 거쳐 종로쪽으로 나가보려고 예정하고 있습니다. 날씨가 좀 따뜻하기만 바랄 따름입니다. 그날 뵈어요.

(We'll have another sketchcrawl with Steve from Sydney on Jan. 9, 2010. We meet on 11 am at the same spot, in front of Ducksoo Palace. We have no plan yet about the course of sketching. But We try to guide him Alpha Art Material Supply shop, Namdaemun market, Myungdong, and Chongro streets. Hope the weather be better than now and see you there!)
