Years ago, it was possible to use watercolor at the palace. These days it's strictly forbidden for the protection of the cultural property.

Years ago, I created this collage work with a motive of the palace and a church at Jeongdong street nearby. Though it's not a drawing made on the spot, I post this for the reference related with the scenery of the palace..

It rained with thunder. Six sketchers participated in. The nice atmosphere of the palace in raining cauaght all of us to stay there though we had planned originally to move to the Jeongdong street after lunch. We kept sketching till 5 p.m in the quiet palace by the rare visitors due to rain. Though we got chilled sketching here and there in rain we enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the palace located in the center of Seoul across the city hall. Thank you all for the participation looking forward to seeing a lot of results in the palace! Please visit here for more information here.

Konkuk University, which is conveniently located on Hwayangdong in Seoul, is one of the leading private universities in Korea. The Campus is not only relatively spacious, considering it's located on downtown Seoul, but easy of access from Seoul Subway Line 2 or Line 7. Besides the magnificent Ilgam Lake with beautiful skyline of cityscape shows me a fantastic scenery. The university campus in downtown has a great charm for urban sketchers.

My mother is taking his treatment for days. She's getting better.

완쾌를 기원하면서...피박사님께서 '잘생기게 그려달라'고 하셨는데 죄송합니다.

실제 모습이 훨씬 멋지십니다. ^ ^)

A few days ago, I visited some village with a historic background walking along Seoul Fortress Wall. Seongbukdong and Myeongnyundong villages are located close to each other and have a lot of beautiful sceneries. The scenery of old village remaining in downtown is the valuable subject for urban sketchers.
