two mannequins at department store


On the way going to the Woori Bank building located at Hoehyun-dong near a big department store, I dropped in for sketching the interior scenery. I saw these couple of mannequin in corridor of brand-name shops. After finishing I tried to take a photo putting my sketchbook on her lap but failed by the prohibition of the staff. (21 x 29.7 cm, pencil)

Mr. Stephen Kopp who is an impassioned painter

The cold of this year is quite unprecedented. I sketched several pieces in the downtown of
Seoul familiar to me with Seoul sketchers. Especially I was impressed by Mr. Stephen Kopp from Australia. Whenever he visit Korea, he joins with us in outdoor sketch.

We enjoyed three days' sketching tour with Stephen Kopp in Seoul. In spite of cold weather he showed his energetic passion for painting inspiring us so much. We thank him, his Korean wife Susie and his beautiful daughter for joining us. We hope them to feel satisfied with staying in Korea and look forward to meeting next year again.
Thanks all for participating in! :)
