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!

Parang(blue) workplace

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.

Kim Yong-seok(김용석) is playing 'Let It Go'.


YH Lee presented his works to the artists(violinist Kim Yong-seok and guitarist Go Young-hwack)


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.

덕수궁 주변의 성공회와 정동 일대는 도심의 보석과도 같은 곳입니다.
역사와 애환과 낭만의 추억이 깃든 우리 시대의 자화상을 보면서~~
도시의 물결과 유유한 옛 문화가 함께 숨쉬는 스케치의 매력에 빠져듭니다.
