10 participants came to the Myungryundang for sketching. The weather was fine. The Sungkyunkwan University and the Myungryundang are neighbouring. Sketchers liked the latter for its attractive features for sketching rather than the modern buildings in university campus. On the foreground of the Myungryundang, the Confucius shrine, was there going a wedding ceremony. We could see the traditional wedding ceremony sketching and hearing Korean classical music. Eo Jini, the new comer, came to join as she promised on Aug. 15 when she met us at Seodaemun Prison History Hall, where she even sketched one piece on the spot. We thanked her for that she prepared the delicious lunch to share with us, the Gimbab(rice rolled in dried laver). We hoped she'd continue to participate in and to accomplish her dream since a kid to be an artist. Thank you all!

I had some business in Daehagro. I walked all the street of Daehagro to Chongro 4-ga sketching here and there. Even it was so hot but the streets showed some distinctive beauty with leaves of trees in streets. On the way coming home I sketched a girl and finished with chalks in the bus; it was possible!

on a hot day at Yeonheedong

There are famous restaurants at Yeonheedong. I went to have Naengmyun(Cold Noodle) at one of them. Before entering the restaurant I sketched the above one using pencil and chalks putting my sketchbook on the pocket for free newspaper, which was very useful.

 I sketched her who was busy with her mobile phone at subway using pencil (7B). 

She was so absorbed in her mobile that I could sketch well.

I post these drawings for the reference of sketchcrawl on Sept. 17, 2011 at the Gaemi Maeul(the Ant Village)  Two sketches are more here. I hope you to enjoy the beautiful autumn sketch there on a sunny day if possible.

Today YH Lee and I went to the Anglican Church of Korea located near the City Hall. The church building were covered with scaffolds for repairing the roof of the church. While sketching at the church yard we met the professor Kim Jai Hwa who asked us to have lunch at the church dining room. After having lunch YH Lee sketched her on the spot and presented it to her. She was so satisfied and invited us to visit garden inside the Society of the Holy Cross.  And we could have tea meeting the famous sister Oh In Sook Catarina, the first ordained priest in Korea as a nun. She was so kind to guide us to the pretty church on the upper floor. After sketching one more at the church we visited the gallery located at Insadong where the professor's caligraphy works were exhibited with other professors of Sungkonghoe University including Shin Young Bok. We had a very meaningful day!

I went to Children's Grand Park and just walked the park sketching here and there.

A lot of families visited the park on a fine saturday after long rainy season of this summer.

When it gets cooler in autumn I'll try to sketch animals again.
