Thirteen sketchers including Odnoo from Mongolia and a new comer Kim Hye Ran,  participated in today's sketching. We enjoyed the meeting and sketching together in the historical place. It was very meaningful for us to sketch the prison buildings celebrating the 66th anniversary of the Independence day of Korea, August 15, 1945, where lots of patriots had died for the independence of nation. Thank you all!

It was raining all day. I walked from Sajik Park to Gwangwhamun sketching the above ones. A pretty pot of flower imported rose moss caught my eye. While sketching the owner of the flower shop came out to see. Because I'd lived over 30 years in that village not far from the shop we talked about redevelopment, the old bakery, old doctor whom I had frequented for curing of my kids and I heard that he died after moving out the village. National flags hung on the building for celebrating the Independence Day of Korea were touching; the colors looked vivid due to the rain.

Today it's the Independence Day of Korea. YH Lee and I went to Seodaemun Prison History Hall celebrating the day. I was surprised at seeing a lot of visitors and touched by their patriotic spirits. While we were sketching some, a woman, Euh Jin, came and showed much interest in sketching. We talked about sketches and could know how she'd been eager to sketch like us. I suggested her to sketch on my sketchbook immediately on the spot. She did without any hesitation. Her work took 1 hour and 25 minutes. She promised to join us from September if possible. Another high school girl student showed interest too. By sketching on the spots we may spread the culture of sketching in a win-win way.
