at Omori handmade noodle restaurant, Baekseok, Ilsan city

handmade noodle dish with shellfish soup (바지락 손칼국수)with kimchi

expanding the dough with hands (I sketched in different restaurant before.)

in the process of making noodle from a lump of dough

After finishing the cook arranges the noodles on table.

He boils them when the customers order.

He puts the boiled noodle on a sieve for deleting extra water.

Another cook puts shellfish soup or black soybean sauce on noodle by the orders.

Last Sunday I went to Baekseok, Ilsan city near Seoul for some business. I dropped in Omori noodle restaurant for lunch. After having the dish I looked in the kitchen which located in the corner of the building. Passengers could see the show of making noodle through the pane glass in street. It's interesting to see how the cook makes noodle from a lump of dough. I sketched the process on my small sketchbook. I added the expanding scene from the archive which was sketched a year ago in different restaurant.

I was on duty yesterday, many people visited the exhibition hall and appreciated a lot of different sketches interestedly. KH Lee played a guitar with nimble fingers and we could feel a festive atmosphere. In the meantime, I sketched some familiar faces here and there inside the gallery without stopping to rest. I enjoyed a very pleasant time!

남산 도서관 갤러리의 많은 방문객들이 기타연주와 함께 인물 스케치의 實演을 보면서 '현장스케치'에 대한 사랑과 관심과 참여의욕이 넘치는 것을 볼 때 큰 보람을 느꼈습니다. 머지않아 <서울 도심(어반) 스케치전>은 취미 수준을 넘어서 공공 미술문화의 큰 장르로서 자리잡아 가리라고 확신합니다.

Interview by Internet TV CNM 

오늘 당번 서면서 방문객이 뜸할 때에는 실내 풍경을 그렸어요. 오후에 인터넷 지역방송 CNM 에서 '우리 동네 최고' 프로그램에 남산 도서관을 다루는 편에 갤러리도 포함시켜서 우리 모임의 성격에 대해 안내를 했구요. 오늘도 모임에 참여하려는 분들이 계셨습니다. 

(I sketched inside sceneries of the gallery while keeping and guiding at the gallery. In the afternoon I talked about our activities and purposes to the reporter of CNM Internet TV, which was scheduled by the library for the program of introducing the local villages.. They said the program will be broadcasted three weeks later.)

휴대폰으로 좀 찍어보았어요. 그 또한 연습이 필요한 것같습니다. 오늘도 많은 분들 관람하셨구요. 관심있는 분들의 문의도 있었습니다. 당번들께서 수고 많으십니다. 

I took some video with my mobile phone. I think it needed lots of practice too. Many visitors appreciated works with interest. Among them there were several artists who hoped to participate in urban sketching. Welcome!

Unhyeongung Palace,designated as Historic Site No. 257 of the City of Seoul, is located in Uni-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul. There is the palace that King Gojong lived in before he acceded to the throne. The palace was built in 1864 and in 1869 more buildings were added. Unlike the other main palaces Changdeokgung and Gyeongbokgung,Unhyeongung is simple in design and use of colour for a palace. 

Yesterday It was so cold and windy for sketch, but snow-covered traditional buildings harmonized with the surroundings looked very beautiful. I sketched these elegant and lovely buildings at Unhyeongung Palace,thougtless of the time. After sketching at Unhyeongung Palace, on my way home, I dropped in the Nagweon Musical Instruments Arcade and drew some sketches in a melodious atmosphere.
