sketches on a fine Sunday

motorbike & Namsan at Chungpa-dong, Seoul


at Sookmyung Woman's University, Seoul


at Manri Market, Manridong, Seoul


It was a fine day. I started from Sookmyung Woman's University where located near Seoul Station. The campus was neat and occupied with new buildings built recently. Having lunch at drivers' restaurant located across the Hyochang Park I headed on to Chungpa-dong for a better view. I sketched a motor bike with the Namsan at a long distance. On my way to Son Gi Jeong Park I stopped to capture the sunlit awnings at Manri Market. The Son Gi Jeong Park was a good place to sketch surrounded by old houses and new buildings under construction. I could rest for a while under the big trees of the park hearing the merry sound from playground.

뚝섬한강공원





다음 스케치행사 장소인 뚝섬 한강공원에 다녀왔습니다.

자벌레건물에서 한강 풍경이나 공원을 전망하기가 좋고 내부에 쉴 수 있는 공간도 넉넉해서 좋았습니다.

강물 위에 떠있는 절을 한 장 그리고 돌아왔습니다.

The campus was very quiet and beautiful with flowers. Old and new buildings in campus seemed balanced well. Many families enjoyed the sceneries taking photos.

How nice the weather was after raining all the night! We enjoyed sketching and having zazangmyun at the corner of the church by the kind consideration of the staffs. The young priest of the church liked the sketches and suggested to inform on the church weekly about this sketching and our exhibit at the Songpa Library Gallery on June 26, 2011. We thanked for all the atmosphere of the church.

at a buckwheat noodle restaurant




I went to a famous buckwheat noodle restaurant located at Gwanghwamoon with my son during his army vacation. We had cold noodle dipping in delicious soup mixed with sliced green onion, grinded white radish, and sliced black laver, adding drops of vinegar and mustard. (12 x 19 cm)

at amusement park



It's spring. So the park was crowded with groups of kids from kindergartens and students of middle and high schools for drawing at park. I tried to sketch at amusement park. Big and colorful roof was set above the steps to make shade for the visitors. I'd like to go there often by the cool shade in summer. (A 4, pencil, pen and watercolor)

Itaewon, Seoul



the population of the district is very diverse, people openly walk around the streets without anticipating other people's long stares, regardless of their racial and/or religious and/or sexual orientation. love the cultural tolerance.
