Yesterday the weather was clear and so warm for November. We Seoul sketchers met at 'Meeting Place' at Noryangjin Fish Market which is an extensive farmers fish market in the neighborhood of  Noryangjin-dong in Dongjak-gu, Seoul. We drew various sceneries around fish market and had a delicious lunch time with animated conversation about 'Urban Sketchers' all together. I sketched some attractive old-fashioned buildings here and there with watercolors. It was very delightful Saturday indeed.

Sketches at Noryangjin Fish Market, Seoul

pencil, pen, pastels, A 4

Weather was very good for sketching; shiny, warm, and above all not rainy different from the forecast report. All the market was bustling with customers and merchants.  Every participant captured characteristic subjects of his or her own. And we could sketch the fish stores from the corridor of 2nd floor which was connected to the Noryangjin subway station. At one o'clock we had very delicious and plentiful lunch at a fish restaurant on 2nd floor, about which we owed JW Park much thanks. On the way of sketching the woman along the wall of the narrow alley a young lady showed interest in our activity. We talked over the sketching and sharing opinions. She hoped to join next sketchcrawl with her child. Thank you all for the sincerity and arduous job you did in such a crowded place, one of the most big markets in Korea, perhaps!

flower(Angel's Trumpet)

pencil & watercolor, 18 x 25 cm

When I passed the alley at Nonhyundong, I used to stop to see this flower for a while. I didn't know the exact name of it. Yesterday when I was sketching the flower, a woman stopped saying 'Oh, you're sketching! I like the flower very much. Its fragrance at night is great.' So I asked her its name. She answered "Angel's Trumpet. When it blossoms it looks like a trumpet.' I agreed with her.  The flower was planted in pots in front of a eating house. Though it was before noon, it smelled good.

sketches at bus

pencil & watercolor, 12 x 19 cm sketchbook

I sketched these ones in a bus (401) freely with pencil(6B) and washed at home with watercolor. I captured the rough images in a bus. The streets were very beutiful with yellow leaves of trees.

aerial ladder for moving

pencil and watercolor, A 4

An office at banpo building located at Nonhyundong was moving using aerial ladder. Moving gives interesting subjects for sketchers. Trucks, ladders, laborers, desks, and other belongings form many kinds of composition in the open space. Today I saw this scene. I started at once and finished with watercolors. Men related with the work came and saw the drawing. When I left they asked whether I would correct(add) or not. I answered 'mostly not, but I'd think after being dried completely'. And I didn't.
