Yesterday(Apr. 7, 2019) YH Lee and I went to the "J Billiards Club" in the building of "Billiard Academy in Seoul" located at Jamwon-dong, Seoul. There was a big game of the 14th 3-Cushion championship for the Seoul City Mayor's Flag supported by Seoul Billiards Federation and Seoul City. We could see famous star players such as Cho Jae-Ho and Cho Myung-Woo and other female players we've seen on TV. Several times' visits to the billiards clubs gave different impression according to the location of the floors, scale, and the decoration. Chairs for the general visitors are our interesting point for sketching. Some are good and the others are not. Yesterday it was the best as far as we've experienced. Benches were laid a little higher than the floor. And we occupied the nearest one and we could keep sketching for hours. Last week we met a staff, Park Ji-Young of Seoul Billiards Federation. She showed much interest in sketch, especially YH Lee's work and took a photo. This time we met again and greeted warmly. She asked us to draw well letting us know who was the famous player, Cho Jae-Ho. We tried and tried of course. He won the first prize at last. This time it was special that we could see the female players' game in front of the game table. They looked so nice as models for drawing too. The female game winner Kim Min-Ah liked very much looking at her sketch drawn by YH Lee. The staff said that she kept visiting to our blog. Much thanks to her!
서울 당구 연맹 홈피에서 제 14회 서울특별시장기 당구 대회가 열린다는 공지를 보고서 어제 서초구 잠원동에 위치한 J 당구 클럽을 갔습니다. 그동안 여러 당구장을 다녀보았어요. 물론 당구 게임을 보는 것도 좋지만 각각 다른 실내 분위기에서 스케치해보는 것도 또 다른 즐거움을 주었습니다. 어제 간 J 당구 클럽은 게임 관람자를 위해 졸은 환경이더군요. 약간 높은 위치에 벤치가 있었고 바로 눈앞에서 빅 게임이 열리니 금상첨화였습니다. 지난 달 말에 열린 김경률 추모 당구대회에서 만난 서울당구연맹 직원이신 박지영샘을 다시 만나 반가왔고 스케치하느라 자리를 못떠나는 저희를 위해 특별한 배려를 해주셔서 너무 감사했습니다. 조용히 경기도 보고 스케치하는 모습은 누구라도 좋아하시는 것같아 모두 기분이 좋았어요. 특히 저희 블로그도 링크해두시고 자주 보니 그림 많이 올려주시기 바란다고 하시더군요. 당구와 스케치가 예술로 만나는 경험을 했습니다. 승리하신 조재호 선수와 김민아 선수와 선전하신 많은 선수들께 박수 보냅니다. 감사했습니다!
