She offered two cups of coffee thanking for us to draw her shop, about which we thanked so much too. I presented my name card to her.
오늘 지난 며칠간의 추운 날씨에 비해서 맑고 포근해서 스케치하기 아주 좋았습니다. 시내에 고즈녁하게 자리잡고 있는 운현궁을 너무 늦게 방문해서 대원군께 죄송스러울 정도였어요. 크기도 아담해서 여러 건물들이 좋은 각도를 연출해주면서 흰 눈과 오래된 나무 색이 참으로 아름다왔습니다. 운현궁에 해가 져서 근처의 낙원 상가로 걸음을 옮겨 훈훈하고 활기찬 악기 상가에서 몇장 더 스케치했어요. 2층의 경비아저씨의 책상을 독차지하고 편히 그리는 동안 마침 손님맞이에 분주하신 여주인께서 따따한 커피까지 제공해주셔서 즐거움을 더했습니다. 오늘 처음으로 손에 쥔 예쁘고 멋진 명함을 두 장이나 뿌렸답니다. 모두에게 감사합니다.
The Unhyeongung(운현궁) locates at Unni-dong had been the residence of Lee Ha-eung. He was the father of the 26th king of Lee Dynasty. It locates across Insa-dong, the famous traditional cultural street where many tourists visit to buy souvenir and enjoy Korean traditional culture. Unhyeongung is near the bigger palaces such as Kyeongbokgung, Changdukgung, and Changyeongung. We found the place was very beautiful with Korean traditional style buildings. And the snow heightened the beauty of the buildings more. Please visit here for reference. Thank you all!

sketches at the lobby of Seoul Station
Severance building(left) and Seoul Plaza(right) across the Seoul Station
(Yesterday I had to spend some hours at Seoul Station. After having lunch at food court and drawing some I came out to the lobby because the food court was so busy with customers at lunch time. I found some good place to sit and could be able to sketch some. When I finished a pigeon flied into the building. I felt sorry that I couldn't draw it in sketch.)

Because I had to wait for a while I sketched and washed on the sofa.
A 4, Fabriano, 56 lbs
The weather was finer than the previous days though snow still remained here and there. After dropping in the framing shop near the park I went in and sketched some. On the way coming home I needed phone repair at the A/S center near the park. Sketching made me not feel tired of waiting. So I thank for the moments rather.
at Aladdin secondhand bookstore, Jongno-2-ga, Seoul
18 x 26 cm
Last tuesday I found a nice secondhand bookstore at Jongno-2-ga, downtown street of Seoul. It located in basement near the corner of Jongno-2-ga crossing. Different from that we've known about secondhand bookstores it looked as same as big bookstores filled with new books. The interior was comfortable for visitors to sit on steps set near the entrance resting a while or reading books. I could see kids reading books on steps freely. There I sketched the above one using watercolor with pleasure.
