This was my second sketchcrawl with USk Seoul. This is a very cozy and welcoming group; I'm grateful for their hospitality. I am slowly getting more comfortable sketching outside in public. I am also still exploring what kind of tool I like best. I mostly used Staedtler Pigment Liner 0.7, but I also explored a little with the Pentel brushpen.
I look forward to sketching with you on 24 October. Please keep me updated on the time and place. Thank you!
파랑공방 주인은 파란색을 좋아한다고 합니다.
문과 한 벽면을 코발트 블루로 칠해서 그 공방의 이름을 인상깊게 했습니다.
사방으로 창문이 있어서 환하고 바깥 풍광이 드러나서 답답하지 않습니다.
갓구운 코발트 블루 찻잔셋트가 공방의 분위기와 잘 어울렸습니다.
나도 취미 생활을 할 수 있는 자기만의 공간이 있다면 참 좋겠습니다.

Seoul city hall holds a small concert of one hour at noon for citizens inside the hall. YH Lee and I met there for sketching them yesterday. Violin Player 440 played several nice music with his electric violin for 30 minutes. And the Bargain Virus played during last half an hour. It was a very good program for citizens to hear music for free (though there is a tip box. not compulsory). Music was so sweet that YH Lee stopped to draw being attracted by the violinist's various poses and melody. He presented his drawings to the players. We shared thanks and had good time for sketching and healing ourselves with wonderful music.
어제 점심시간에 이용환샘과 시청 청사내의 작은 공연장에서 만나 연주를 감상했습니다. 시청사에서 시민들을 위하여 여러 행사를 마련하는 것 중에 음악회는 정말 소중한 프로그램으로 느껴집니다. 멋진 음악을 들으며 고단한 일상을 잊고 다시 삶에의 활력을 주겠지요. 힘든 여건 속에 웃으며 연주하는 음악가들의 탑박스에 손을 넣는 시민들을 보는 것도 기분 좋은 일이었어요.

Last Saturday, the weather was fine to sketch. Seoul urban sketchers met at the Anglican Church of Korea and sketched various scenes around Jeong-dong street near Deoksugung Palace. I sketched lovely buildings in historic downtown Seoul reminiscing about the good old days.
It was a real fine day after raining. Eight participants joined us including four new comers. We started at the Anglican Church of Korea where a wedding ceremony would be performed. Families of bride and bridegroom were greeting their congratulators at the entrance of the church. After sketching till 12:30 we moved to restaurant for lunch. After lunch we went to the observatory in Seoul City Hall Seosomun building to see the beautiful view from 13th floor. Because it's weekend lots of visitors took seats and frequented. So it was not easy for 8 sketchers to take space for long. Though we felt sorry we left promising to come again for sketching and walked to Baejae Hagdang nearby. There in fantastic foreground surrounded by old and new buildings we finished sketching. Thank you all!
Participants : Lee Yong-hwan, Song Kee-sung, Ku Bon-ok, Yoo Byung-hwa
and new comers : Oh Chang-hwan, Son Jeong-hwa, Yoo Hye-kyoung and Mona Kwon
전날밤에 비가 와서 좀 걱정을 했으나 어제의 날씨는 너무 좋았어요. 첫번째 그케치 장소인 성공회 마당은 결혼식이 있어서 화려한 한복입으신 혼주님들과 많은 손님들로 붐볐습니다. 이어 근처에서 맛있는 국밥 식사를 하고 시청 서소문분관 전망대를 관람한후 배재학당으로 옮겨 너른 장소에서 스케치를 마쳤습니다. 처음 나오신 오창환님, 모나 권님, 유혜경님, 손정화님 반가왔습니다. 앞으로 많은 활동 바랍니다. 감사합니다.
