How exciting to find nice views for sketching in the center of Seoul! Walked from the middle level of Namsan Circuit Road down to Namdaemun(South Grand Gate). Hope to sketch all together next month there! Though I've been living in Seoul over 50 years I'm surprised at finding the hidden places here and there. Very thrilling like a treasure-hunting game!

sketchcrawl at Doogsum Resort, Han River

What a wonderful scenery it was! Cloudy weather added some points on the riverscape. Sketchers were fascinated by the picturesque scenes formed by bridge, overbridges, new buildings, beautiful lawn, and people full of energy on the open flea market held on the ground. After sketching and having lunch at the nice restaurant 'Soman' located inside the so-called 'Looper' exhibition building, we went to the appointed frame shop and decided each frame and cost. Thanks all for participating and cooperating for the successful exhibitions!

sketching the wall painting students

It was on the spring festival on campus of Sejong University. Lots of parasols and tents were set up here and there on campus. On the wall of the playground were the art college students painting. I couldn't pass the spot without sketching them. Colorful sunflowers painted on wall were beautiful too. They would be proud of the mural painting when they pass it. It was a very special experience to me too. ( 30 x 40 cm, pen and watercolor)

discarded home appliances at A/S center

Yesterday my mobile phone showed some error message when I tried to take photo with it. I went to A/S center near my village. But the engineer said 'what matters?' handling it. No message was there any more and the camera worked well in his hand. I found this piled appliances at the corner out of the repairing room. I felt interest and drew this one.

sketches on a fine Sunday

motorbike & Namsan at Chungpa-dong, Seoul

at Sookmyung Woman's University, Seoul

at Manri Market, Manridong, Seoul

It was a fine day. I started from Sookmyung Woman's University where located near Seoul Station. The campus was neat and occupied with new buildings built recently. Having lunch at drivers' restaurant located across the Hyochang Park I headed on to Chungpa-dong for a better view. I sketched a motor bike with the Namsan at a long distance. On my way to Son Gi Jeong Park I stopped to capture the sunlit awnings at Manri Market. The Son Gi Jeong Park was a good place to sketch surrounded by old houses and new buildings under construction. I could rest for a while under the big trees of the park hearing the merry sound from playground.

뚝섬한강공원

다음 스케치행사 장소인 뚝섬 한강공원에 다녀왔습니다.

자벌레건물에서 한강 풍경이나 공원을 전망하기가 좋고 내부에 쉴 수 있는 공간도 넉넉해서 좋았습니다.

강물 위에 떠있는 절을 한 장 그리고 돌아왔습니다.

The campus was very quiet and beautiful with flowers. Old and new buildings in campus seemed balanced well. Many families enjoyed the sceneries taking photos.
