It was somewhat cold all day. But all the area was alive with visitors. I began sketching on the Ogansu bridge of Cheonggyecheon. Things to draw were endless. The man on the motor bike showed interest in drawing telling why he became to draw left side though he wanted to draw the right. I couldn't answer for him. After lunch I walked into the DDP. which was crowded with people for the architectural fair or music performance. Visitors seemed to enjoy talking with friends enjoying the autumn weather. As it always has been time was short. Leaving objects to be captured for next visits we finished October sketch meetup. Thank you for joing us!

날씨가 많이 차가왔지만 동대문 주변은 언제나 그랬듯이 활발한 모습이었어요. 오간수교 위에는 그래도 햇살이 있어 주변의 이모 저모를 담았습니다. 위만 그리느라 청계천의 멋진 모습은 차후로 미루었구요. 아무래도 날씨가 찬지라 물을 그리기는 내키지가 않았나 봅니다. 점심 후 디디피로 건너가 커다란 건물과 빛의 움직임이 만드는 모습음 경사로에서 그려 본 것이 기억에 남습니다. 새로 오신 강연정님 반가왔어요. 서정화님의 브라질 커피도 너무 맛있었구요. 감사드립니다!

Sketches at parks

On fine days I visited parks in Seoul and Osan city. Children's Grand Park is one of my favorite sketching places. But the arboretum was my second visit. It took nearly two hours from my house by bus and subway train. For being tired I slept for a while and passed two stops. So I had to get back, which took more minutes anyhow. The arboretum was crowded with visitors most of whom were families with kids. The inside was broad and easy for walk. On the way back to the entrance gate I found this water. It was beautiful by the contrast of light. If not the distance matter I'd like to go there often. 

요즘 날씨가 너무 좋습니다. 얼마 전에 늘 가던 어린이대공원에 갔어요. 후문 입구 근처의 놀이동산에 들러 어린이들의 재잘거리는 소리도 듣고 신나게 오르내리는 놀이기구를 보며 한장 그렸습니다. 이번에는 너무 복잡한 청룡열차와 기둥들에 얽매이지 않으려고 붓으로만 자유롭게 그려보았어요. 

어제 오산대역에서 가까운 물향기 수목원에 들렀습니다. 서울에서 가는 시간이 걸려서 그렇지 역에서 가까운 거리라 좋았어요. 전에 어느 분의 전시회 보러 갔을 때에는 여기 저기 들러 보지 못했는데 이번에는 한시간 반 정도 걸어다니며 좀 보았습니다. 아마도 다음에 가면 못본 곳을 또 발견하지 않을까 생각합니다. 나오는 길에서 만난 물이 매우 인상적이어서 한장 그려보았습니다. 많은 가족들이 평화로이 즐기는 모습이 아름다와서 더불어 즐거운 시간을 보냈습니다.

Last Saturday, it was a fine autumn weather to sketch despite the typhoon forecast. Seoul urban sketches gathered at the Latin American Cultural Center-Museum in Goyang City nearby Seoul. Many visitors interested in foreign culture appreciated Latin American history, art, religion and customs, and other attractive works of exotic culture. The elegant red-brick buildings, museum, art gallery and religion exhibition hall combined with outdoor sculpture parks and Mayan murals to brighten the atmosphere of the cultural center.

While sketching the various forms of pretty and majestic buildings, the inside of the exhibition hall and traditional costumes, I thanked the founder of the Latin American Cultural Center. I'm lucky to be able to sketch as much as I like, experiencing various exotic cultures at the museum near where I live.
