Seoul station is always full of vitality. People are moving for their destination, leaving, meeting. And the big pane glass in food court on 3rd floor attracts us and provides all the scenery in the station. Though we've sketched there several times, we could find fresh fleeings with

changing surroundings. So I hope to see more n that station next time. 

Thank you all the participants!

서울역은 항상 활기가 넘칩니다. 끊임없이 움직이는 승객들과 가족, 인근 백화점 방문객들로 인해 언제고 생동감을 느끼게 됩니다. 그동안 여러번 서울역을 스케치해왔지만 그야말로 번번이 새로운 모습을 보게 되구요. 변화하는 날씨도 색다른 분위기를 줍니다. 

어제 참석해주신 모든 분들께 감사드립니다. 

Sketching together at Seoul station

It was cloudy all day. Nine sketchers including four new comers, Park Jea Wook, Oh Sul Hee, Lee Seung Chul, and Lee Jin Kyung,  participated in. As always the station with complex department was crowded with passengers and visitors.  We of course enjoyed the meeting and shared all the results encouraging each other. Hoping all the sketchers to post their works I post the photoes in advance. Thank you all.

오늘흐린날씨에도 불구하고 여러분이 창여해주셨습니다. 이용환샘, 이정권샘, 이상진샘, 김소형샘,  유병화외에 새로이 오신 박제욱샘, 오설희샘,이승철 학생, 이진경학생이 진지하게 스케치해주셨구요. 세시반 스케치마친후에 감상회도  가졌습니다. 좋은 작품 많이 올려주시기 바라며 오늘 사진 먼저 올립니다. 감사합니다!

at Incheon wharf, Incheon city

Today I went to Incheon wharf. Weather was very good, shiny and breezing. I took a place beside a truck for a handful of shade when I sketched the first one. Though I saw the second scene at first I sketched it later because I didn't carry water, so I tried it just before I left the wharf. There was no place to hide from sunlight. But it was autumn anyhow. I could finish the second one. It took 20 minutes from drawing to washing. The first one took one hour to finish. 

오늘 모처럼 인천에 다녀왔습니다. 뜨거운 계절에는 좀 힘든 곳이라 요즘 좋은 것같습니다. 그래도 가을볕이 따갑기는 해도 바람이 불어주어 할만했구요. 언제나 변화무쌍한 인천에서 두점그리고 돌아와서 뿌듯했습니다. 오가는 전철에서는 인물스케치좀 하고요.

I usually sketch buildings before my eyes, searching familiar places in my spare time. As for me, the old fashioned buildings are more attractive than the up-to-date style buildings in feeling. These works are sketched on the spot around my familiar streets from place to place recently.

낯익은 장소~~낯익은 거리~~ 낯익은 건물들을 그릴 때마다
어제의 새로움이 오늘의 낯익은 모습으로 변해가는 것을 지켜 보며는
세월의 켜가 쌓여가는 소리만 회상의 발자욱 따라 들려오는 듯 합니다.

Last Saturday, I joined Seoul sketchcrawl around Dongdaemun Design Plaza. Dongdaemun and its surroundings are always attractive and interesting for our urban sketchers. This is because those have the colorful sceneries including the history of metropolitan Seoul. We enjoyed sketching in and outside the Doota Building situated in the center of shopping center buildings. Welcome the new comers and congratulations on Seoul sketchcrawl!

동대문 주변은 역사문화적 환경을 지니면서도 역동적이고 활발한 스케치 장소입니다.
익숙한 소재들이지만 보면 볼수록 새롭게 다가오는 느낌들이 매력적입니다.
문화재와 도떼기시장, 하이 패션이 어우러지며~ 시시각각 변하는 생생한 삶의 현장입니다.
스케치 마당에 신선한 바람과 함께 새로 오신 분들을 진심으로 환영합니다~~~

painting and sketch of Lee Sang-jin on the wall at the cafe

Yesterday I and YH Lee visited the Cafe Gallery One to see the works of Lee Sang-jin. The cafe was a remodeled house. The former rooms were designed newly with pastel tone colors keeping the old structure. We had red-bean sherbet(Patbingsoo) appreciating his nice works. In the cool room we sketched too. Hope your 1st exhibition to be successful, SJ Lee!

어제 이용환선생님과 이상진선생님 전시회에 다녀왔어요. 망원동에 위치한 예쁜 집에 크고 작은 그림들 잘 감상했습니다. 시원한 룸에서 스케치도 하구요. 첫번 전시회가 성공적으로 잘 마쳐지기를 바랍니다!
