KH Lee

In the afternoon we went to the beautiful church. After sketching moved to Deoksu Palace which was closed on Monday.  There we drew the sceneries despite of cold weather. He'll return to the army. He loved the panoramic scenery from the city hall and to the Plaza Hotel. He said that he would draw the scene later in different sized paper to fill enough. So I said to him 'How lucky we're to live in Seoul!'.

I've sketched around Seoul Station from time to time for several years. Every time I sketch, I used to light upon the new sceneries to my taste. It's very interesting to sketch the old and new building complexes with crowded people such as Seoul Station. I'll continue to sketch such subjects in my spare time.

Much thanks for the three cups of sweet coffee presented by the kind lady of the coffeeshop(Caffe da Dio) in front of the elevator to the airport railroad. She said that she knew well about the difficulty of outdoor sketching or painting because she was an outdoor artist too! We introduced ourselves giving our catalogues.

Thank you all!!!

Dimas, KH Lee, & Palti Hutapea

We met these guys from Indonesia at the foreground of the Mosque. They came to Korea as trainees of Samsung company in Indonesia. After talking at mosque we met again in front of an Islamic restaurant. I told them about urbansketchers.org and game him a piece of catalogue of our exhibit. I'm sure he'd visit our blogs, especially Indonesian artists' blogs too. Nice to meet you Palti and Dimas!

at Islamic reataurant where we had kebab and something else

It was cold and windy. But the mosque looked nice reminding me of St Sopia at Istanbul though the scale couldn't be compared to the latter. Sketching gave an unexpected meeting. Thank you!
