Once in a while, I attempt to sketch in monochrome. To simplify the color may be uninteresting, but the trial is useful in many ways, for instance, to make an experiment in complete control of value, to experience a particular impression of the dominant color, and so on. I like such a good potentiality of the monochrome.

오늘 전시당번날이어서 딸을 데리고 갔었습니다. 오전에 좀 한가했지만 점심시간 지나고나서는 꽤 사람들이 많이 왔었습니다. 저희 모임에 관심 가지시는 분들이 몇 분 계셨습니다. 저는 다양한 개성을 가진 많은 분들이 모임을 함께 할수록 우리 모임이 더 건강하고 멋진 모임이 된다고 생각합니다.

제 딸의 스케치입니다.

이건 스테판코프씨의 그림을 보고 따라 그린 거랍니다.

After sketching some at the Myungdong Cathedral Church I visited the Pyunghwa Gallery in Catholic Center. I could see the SHONA exhibition(Aug. 10 - Aug. 23). Exhibited works from Zimbabwe were really great.  Hope you to visit there if possible. I took some photos for reference.
