Sketchers of Insadong, Seoul

In Gyeongin Gallery garden, pen and watercolor. 29.5*21cm

I want to paint a autumn scenery.
Persimmon, ginkgo leaves, horizontal leaves, people in coat...
Everything was filled with the fall.
It was chilly, but my heart was warm.
Everyone wants to be happy.♥

Last Saturday weekend, usk Seoul members met at Ssamziegil building (쌈지길 빌딩) which is well-known as one of the famous tourist attractions in Insadong, downtown Seoul. There are lots of sketching subject matters such as art galleries, characterful tea houses, restaurants, cafes, and small shops selling arts and crafts. So I used to sketch this familiar hot place many times before.  A crowd of people including foreign tourist surged toward the Insadong street from morning. At first I went up to the rooftop terrace on the 5th floor of Insa Art Center (인사아트센터) across from Ssamziegil building, and sketched the panoramic scene around Sueun Assembly House Building (수운회관) and Chundogyo's Central Headquaters (천도교 중앙대교당). Two historic buildings surrounded by irregular buildings are well-matched together harmoniously.
After lunch, I sketched some attractive scenes with crowded people, walking along the streets and narrow alley around Insadong and Nakwondong. It was a very nice day for urban sketching together in an attractive place. Insadong and surroundings are so impressive and the most perfect location for urban sketchers in various ways.

쌀쌀한 날씨임에도 인사동 거리는 따스한 분위기입니다.
전통문화와 예술, 독특한 먹거리와 관광객들로 인산인해를 이루고~
사라져가는 고풍스러움이 현대식 빌딩과 다문화 거리로 바뀌어가는
인사동 주변은 다채로운 현재진행형 스케치의 명소라 하겠습니다.

Insadong sketches

                      Last Saturday, S.U.K meeting was held in Insadong.
                      It's one of the places i energy but i went there for a
                      long time .
                      I have a lot of memories in Insadong
                      I used to go there to attend various meetings of  painting ,
                      to see exhibitions of my acquaintances for about
                      15years and my first solo exhibition was held there
                      but now ,Insadong is just a good place to sketch.
                      The weather is getting colder ,but it's still fine.
                      As always, weekend of Insadong was very crowded
                      with tourists and visitors .
                      I tried to search for a quiet spots people doesn't know .

                      I was glad to meet new sketchers
                      See you again ~~^^

                     지난토요일,인사동에서 S.U.S 정기모임이 있었다
                     인사동은 나의 추억이 스며있는 내가 즐겨 찿는 스케치장소중의 하나이다
                     지난 20여년동안 여러종류의 그림모임에 참여하기위해,
                     화우들의 전시를 축하하기위해 하릴없이 인사동을 들락거렸다
                     나의 첫개인전이 열린곳도 인사동이었다.   그러나 지금 나에게
                     인사동은 단지 스케치하기에 좋은 장소일뿐이다
                     주말의 그곳은 언제나처럼 많은 여행객들과 방문객들로 붐비었고
                     나는 사람들의 왕래가 뜸한 hidden places 를 찿아다녔다

                     새로오신 스케쳐스님들 반갑습니다
                     다시 또 뵙기를~~^^
