I have been to Ihwa-dong Mural Village. On the way up to the mural village, I stopped by a small cafe called #카페들락 and met with some urban sketchers to have a coffee.

And I very quickly sketched the order motion of three tourists from China and gave it to the cafe owner as a gift.

Cafe owner gave a good cake  as a free and shared with the Urban Sketchers.

Painting is indeed a good communication tool !

A week ago, BH Yoo and I could join a group tour going to Da Nang(다낭) and Hoi An(호이안), Vietnam. Tourists were 24. We travelled two cities during three days. Because we visited many places I can't remember well them exactly if I didn't draw the spots even in rough sketches. It was my first visit so I was impressed by the street scenery or colorful cityscapes or various people whom I met.  Especially the Bana Hills(바나힐) on top of mountain and the Hoi An old town gave strong impression to me. We couldn't get rid of raining for the coming typhoon. If not I would have draw more than these. I want to go there again if possible in order to sketch all those memorable features staying for long. Just I hope the weather will be fine!

설레인 마음으로 여행하는 베트남의 인상은 북적거리면서도 신비로웠습니다.
비와 태풍으로 명소 스케치 환경이 열악했지만 좋은 훈련이었습니다.
칼러풀한 호이안 올드타운과 바나힐의 환상적 세계는 동화 속으로 빠져듭니다.
다낭과 호이안은 다시 가서 오래 머물며 그리고 싶은 곳~~ 스케치의 보물상자 같습니다.

Rainy, , , , rainy day was it. What's worse it was blowing by typhoon. And what's the worst we heard that the tourists of next day couldn't go up there by cable for the severe rain.

YH Lee and I joined a Da Nang & Hoian package tour group. It was our first visit. I expected to see and capture lots of scene as possible. But it was rainy nearly all day by typhoon. Guider didn't give much time for the rain and compact schedules. Various temples and streets looked similar to ours or different. Hoi An ancient town was great where I hoped to travel again staying days for sketching more. Several days were too short to know their history and culture completely. Hope them to keep their treasures well.

지난 며칠을 베트남의 다낭, 호이안 패키지 투어에 참여했습니다. 태풍이 오는 우중이라 가이드가 선물한 비닐 우비가 몹시도 요긴했어요. 게다가 농이라는 베트남 원추형 모자도 주셔서 비바람에도 걸어 다닐 만했습니다. 그러나 비 피할 곳이 마땅치 않고 워낙 가는 곳마다 인파가 많아 어려웠구요. 바나 힐이라는 곳은 1600 미터위 고산에 만들어진 프랑스 풍 건물들이 이색적이었습니다. 역시나 심한 비로 파리 호텔앞의 파라솔 아래서 잠시 기록을 해보았으나 심한 안개로 건물도 언듯 언듯 보일 정도였구요. 맑은 날 만나기가 하늘에 별따기가 아닐까 싶었습니다. 식민지 시절 시원한 곳을 찾아 건설한 프랑스인들로 인해 생겨난 공간에 이제 아이들 놀이 시설도 들어서서 내외국인들의 방문이 엄청나더군요. 그 높은 곳에 케이블 카만 20 여분 타며 내려다 본 계곡이 장관이었으나 그나마 내려 올때는 유리창이 습기로 꽉 덮혀 아무 것도 못 보았어요. 그런 것이 추억이 되겠지요. 

유네스코 문화 유산에 등재된 호이안 구시가지는 볼만했어요. 가까운 호텔에 숙박하면서 며칠간 거기만 돌아 다니며 스케치했으면 참 좋겠다 싶더군요. 기억에 남는 장소였습니다. 

여러끼 식사도 만족스러웠고 사람들도 친절했어요. 2시간 선택 마사지 하는 동안 나와서 길을 걸었는데 압구정, 등촌 칼국수, 소곱창 등등 한글 간판이 많아 우습기도 하고 반갑기도 하더군요.  재미난 여행 했습니다.

Last Saturday, for the 65th World Wide SketchCrawl event, Seoul sketches gathered to sketch on the Ogansugyo Bridge around the DDP(Dongdaemun Design Plaza).
It was a pleasant but rather chilly day. Although only a few members participated, the sketching subjects were always diverse and rich, so it was a good atmosphere for sketching. DDP is famous for its huge architecture as a new tourist attraction in downtown Seoul. Since I have often sketched here, all the scenes are familiar, but the colorful architecture of various scales and vibrant streets are always renew my mind.
I drew various commercial buildings around Cheonggyecheon in the morning. And after lunch, I sketched new scenes with the huge landmark DDP of Dongdaemun.
The area around Dongdaemun History & Culture Park, which contains the history of Seoul's life culture, is an excellent place to provide vivid scenes to Seoul sketches all the time. My posting is late because I traveled abroad right after this sketching event.

동대문 주변의 생생한 열기는 사시사철 스케치의 열망을 불러오고
낯익은 곳이면서도 모든 요소가 맞물려 새롭게 보이는 매력적인 곳입니다.
DDP 스케치를 마치고 곧바로 해외여행을 다녀오느라 포스팅이 늦었습니다.
