Thank you so much for your participation and memorable present.

Im Bo Young(임보영) was selling succulent goods at the 2nd floor corridor mall. I talked with her after sketching about the raising cactus and her family farm. She wanted to present a small one which could be attached on refrigerator. I declined gently because of my poor ability to raise plants.

It was not fine by severe yellow dust. Six sketchers including two newcomers(Kim Ji Hyun and Kim Eun Ji) and Don Yang. The place was very good with various views it possessed by itself and selling events on weekends. I tried pencils(2B and 5B) together and it inspired me to do more often.
Much thanks for all the participants in spite of bad air and busy schedule.

연일 황사로 많이 힘든 가운데 여섯명의 스케쳐들께서 모였어요. 멀리 미국에서 화가로 활동하시는 돈 양님께서 29년 만에 한국을 방문하여 짦은 시간이라도 스케치하려고 오신 것에 감동받았습니다. 시카고 어반 스케쳐에서도 활동하시며 티셔츠를 선물해주셨어요. 기념으로 간직하겠습니다. 사정이 생겨 일찍 귀가하신 새로 오신 분들께도 감사를 드립니다. 평소 잊고 지냈던 맑은 공기의 고마움을 다시 느낀 하루였습니다. 감사합니다!

flower vases at the corner of the church

pen and watercolor, A 4

I saw this scene this morning at the Sejongro catholic church. The flowers will be used for the praying meetings of Legio Mariae(Legion of Mary). I felt those flowers so beautiful with attractive figure of shade around the desk. I enjoyed the sweet fragrance while sketching.

오늘 아침 세종로 성당 로비에서 아름다운 꽃을 보고 그렸어요. 풍성한 꽃에서 나는 향기를 맡으면서 즐거운 시간을 가졌습니다. 꽃도 꽃이지만 그림자의 모습이 매력적이었구요.

cherry blossom season has become and people are out in droves taking 벗꽃 selfies.



...as much as i could manage of the changing of the guard before they all took off again.

This month I attended the wedding of my college friend's son two times in different cities far from Seoul. The first place was Haeundae Grand Hotel in Busan City on 5th March, and the second was Hotel ICC in Daejeon City on 26th March. The wedding party including our alumni started from Seoul and moved on the chartered buses. Both wedding halls were crowded with guests and we congratulated wonderful wedding enjoying reception in celebration.
I sketched several scenes of wedding quickly among the guests. After leaving the wedding hall, I added colors and presented the sketches to my two friends for wedding gift. They were grateful to me for the sketches.

예식장 스케치는 우아하면서도 축하의 분위기 속에 활기가 넘칩니다~~
식순은 같지만 식장마다 다른 공간 분위기와 색다른 프로그램이 흥미있고
덕담과 즐거운 만남속에 정이 넘치는 정경들이 아름답습니다.
일생 한 번인 결혼식의 스케치는 진정 값진 선물일 것입니다.

오랜만에 글 올리네요~

수원 프리미엄 아울렛에서 어반스케치 했던 그림 올립니다~

 

 

 

 

수원 프리미엄 아울렛에서 작품 전시회를 가졌습니다.

 

전시회 하는 곳에서 어반스케치 하고 놀았어요~

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

어반스케치 하고 나서 인근 카페로 이동해서

커피 한잔 더 하면서 그림 그렸어요...

 

 

 

이건 프리미엄 아울렛 안에 있는 카페 입니다.

 

작년 싱가폴 어반스케쳐스 심포지엄에서 샘플로 받았던 수퍼5 잉크를

Gocheok Sky Dome - 고척 스카이 돔

Gocheok Sky Dome seen from the pedestrian bridge.

Players were practicing before the main game.

Fans were waiting to see off their players (Doosan Bears) singing songs.

Last week I went to the stadium four times. Long time ago I went to Jamsil stadium several times just to see the games. This time I visited to see the dome stadium. It was big in my eyes though it was criticized by its scale compared to other countries' ones. I liked it because I could sketch without worrying about weather. Sketching the players' speedy gestures I felt some need to memorize or to think about their poses. Though it would be very hard to catch them it may come true some day as far as I go often. All the scenes were great and nice enough to make drawings. 

지난 주에 고척 스카이 돔에 다녀왔어요. 시범경기라 경기 입장료도 무료(평일)라서 좋았구요. 시범경기라고 해도 선수들과 응원단의 열기는 볼만했습니다. 움직이는, 그것도 순식간에 돌아가는 몸을 그린다는 것이 과연 가능한 것인가하는 의문이 들정도로 연습에 그친 경험이었습니다. 풍경들은 그래도 그릴만해서 이것 저것 담아보았구요. 이번의 계기로 스포츠 경기 스케치에 관심을 갖게 되었어요. 공부 엄청나게 했습니다. 

sketches at McDonalds

Jeong-dong branch, 27 x 19.5 cm

Myeong-dong branch, 27 x 39 cm

It gets warmer day by day. But blowing wind made me feel like sketching inside. After having lunch downtown I visited McDonalds branches for a cup of coffee. Branches' interior features are not all the same. The outside views and chairs and decorations are different from each other. I sketched the interior scenery including people who were busy with chatting. It's not easy at all to compose and draw exactly with perfect perspective points. And the decorated walls and lamp light add difficulty too. But challenging will bring development in handling them.

요즘 시내에서 점심후에 맥도날드 매장에 자주 갑니다. 매장마다 특색이 있고 분위기가 달라서 한가한 시간에 그려볼만 합니다. 물론 복잡한 실내 장식, 등불, 의자, 오가는 손님들로 쉽지는 않았지만 자꾸 도전해보면 발전이 되리라고 생각합니다. 그릴수록 어렵습니다.

sketch at Seooreung

Workers were hammering small poles into the ground in front of Myeongreung.

pen and watercolor, 27 x 19.5 cm

I used a fountain pen which my son presented days ago. I promised that I would draw nice ones. This one was the first drawing with that pen. 

Today it was a real spring day. I enjoyed the walking and sketching inside the newly decorated royal tomb garden, Seooreung. I suffered from bad cold last 10 days. The fine weather and nice pen gave a great pleasure. Nature and history was always there. I wish to go there often in spring days.

지난 열흘넘게 독감으로 고생하다가 오늘 모처럼 서오릉으로 스케치를 갔어요. 아들이 선물한 만년필로 그림을 그렸구요. 좋은 그림 많이 그리마 약속을 한지라 오늘 한 숙제를 한 기분이었어요. 날이 이만만하면 참 좋겠다 싶었습니다. 능을 보면서 우리의 역사도 생각해보았구요. 인현왕후와 숙종은 한 자리에 나란히 있는데 조금 뒤로 자리한 인원왕후의 묘소를 보면서 여인들의 비애가 읽혀졌습니다.
