Sketching together at Yeouimaru on Oct. 14, 2017

The above work was done by Meredith from abroad. She sent mail to join us during her

 stay in Seoul. What's worst was that we couldn't meet there. I should have meet her in the exit no. 3 than to make her find the 2nd terminal. It was a great mistake. Really sorry for that, Meredith and hope to have chances to sketch together later if possible! Your work is so great. It's regrettable that we couldn't meet you and appreciate your sketch at the time of sharing on 4:30 pm. Much thanks for joining us, Meredith!

I stayed at Hangang Leisure Sports located at the left of the Eland Cruise. 

YH Lee drew a portraiture of Mr. Kwak who was a member of boarder on water group. He asked YH Lee to draw him to post to their group blog and posed with his board. He was very glad to receive the drawing. 

YH was sketching JS Han.

The weather was very fine all day but windy in the afternoon. We felt cold a little in shade by blowing. The area along the river was very full of subjects to draw. The road alongside the river was crowded with bicycle people, families, groups from kindergartens and so on. Other sketchers will show various scenes from different perspectives. 

Thank you all and see you on Oct. 28 at Seoul Station!

오늘 날씨가 좋았습니다. 오루 들어 바람이 좀 세어서 추웠구요. 오늘 참여하겠다고 메일 보내신 외국인 두분이 안보이셔서 내내 기다렸는데 집에 와보니 Meredith께서 한시간을 찾다가 그림그리셨다고 그래도 정신적으로 함께 했다고 그림을 보내셨군요. 전철역 출구에서 만나기로 했어야 했다는 생각이 뒤늦게 드는군요. 매우 송구한 일이었어요. 여행중에 시간을 내어 참여했는데 못만났을 때 어떤 느낌이었을지 상상이 가니 더욱 더 죄송하다는 생각입니다. 혹시 시간 여유가 있다면 다시 기회를 만들어 함께 스케치 할 수 있기를 기대해 봅니다. 참여하신 스케쳐 여러분들께 감사드립니다.

I visited Yeouinaru yesterday because we had sketch meetup years ago. Generally the total scenery was as same as before. But the restaurant for having lunch was changed into somewhat expensive ones. So we may be better to bring lunch each. But you can have ramyun in the Hangang Leisure Sports located at left of the Eland Cruise. And the inside and outside of the cruise quay(Eland Cruise) seemed to be far better with chairs than before.

I am going to give information for foreigners to find this place easily as follows:

We meet this Saturday, Oct. 14 at Yeouinaru which you can come by subway line no. 5, You come out of exit 3, Yeouinaru station and walk straightly 70-80 meters and come down steps left side. You can see Eland Cruise, 2 terminal on Hangang river side. We meet at 10:30 am and keep sketching to 4 or 4:30 pm. Inside the Eland Cruise Quay there is Ashley snack where pizza and beverage was sold when I visited yesterday. Hope you to bring lunch if you don't like such. Or you can buy some food you like at the convenience shop CU near the exit 3 of the station. We finish sketching around 4 pm or 4:30 pm according to the weather condition. 

Hope to see you there and then!

어제 여의나루를 다녀왔습니다. 몇년전에 스케치 모임을 가진후 안가보아서 식당등을 확인해볼겸 갔어요. 혹시나 몰라서 3번 출구 근처의 편의점에서 김밥을 사서 먹고 들어갔는데 역시나 전에 보던 햄버거 가게도 없어졌더군요. 피자와 음료를 파는 스낵과 비싼 식당이 들어온듯했어요. 대신 실내외가 개선되어서 좋았어요. 위에 말씀드린대로 여의나루 3번 출구에서 죽 걸어와서 왼쪽 계단으로 내려오면 보이는 이랜드 크루즈 앞에서 만나면 주변이 그릴 것도 많을 듯합니다. 강변으로 죽 걸으시면서 1 터미널까지 걸어보며 스케치해보시는 것도 좋을 듯합니다. 비가 오더라도 피할 곳이 있어서 우선 안심이 됩니다만 맑은 날씨이기를 바랍니다. 

Sketch for two days

I drew a sketch at Mikwan Square in front of the Ilsan lake park. Although it was cool but the weather was still hot. So I felt as if it was summer.

While working in Uijeongbu, I drew Daewon Temple at the foot of Mt. Dobong. It was so quiet that I heard only my breath and I wanted to sketch the silence. I wanted to go sketching again there.
가방에 스케치 도구를 챙겨 다니니 짜투리 시간을 잘 이용할 수 있어 좋다 오늘은 일이 있어 의정부에 갔다가 시간이 남아 근처 절에가서 스케치를 했다 한 두시간 명상 한 기분이다~~

카트리지는 4개나 되는데 붓펜을 통 못찾다가 다시 한벌 사서 모처럼 써보았습니다. 너무 낭창거려서 오히려 힘들었어요. 필기구가 나의 의지보다 먼저 달리는 듯하더군요.  한마디로 작가의 의지에 반하는 물건이라고나 할까요.  

암튼 전철에서, 잠실의 도심 사찰에서 요긴하게 썼습니다. 재빨리 그림이 되는 듯하여 '맛들이면 안되겠다'는 생각이 강하게 왔구요. 날로 먹는 느낌이라 거짓말하는 기분이 들기도 하였습니다. 

I used brush pen for the last two days. It ran so fast beyond my will to control my drawing, I felt like that. I thought I should not be addicted in the powerful charm of the pen. It seemed to make drawing by itself with less efforts. I admired the fascinating development of art tools anyhow. 

바이칼 , 몽고여행

민둥산 능선 사이로 언뜻 보인 바이칼 호
아이리스빛 옷자락 펄럭이며 뛰어올때
그리운 연인을 만난듯 가슴이 쿵쿵 뛰어었다.

긴겨울 동안 웅크렸던 키 작은 들꽃들
패랭이꽃 솜다리꽃 기지개 켜며 방긋 웃고
담비도 샤먼바위 걸터앉아 수정거울 비쳐본다.

누군가는 바이칼에서 사랑을 읽고가고
누군가는 바이칼에서 고독을 읽고갔다
하늘빛 닮아 경이로운 시베리아의 진주다.
 
시인 김태은님께서 춘원 이광수 소설집을
들고  춘원이 살던 바이칼호에 직접가서
지으셨다는 시를 이번여행에 '사랑은 연습이 없다'라는 시집을 가져가서 읊어보게 되었습니다.

바이칼의 오묘한 푸른빛을 화폭에 다 담지 못 한 아쉬움이 남아있습니다.

Seoul Children's Grand Park

어린이 대공원안에 팔각당을 펜스케치 해보았습니다. 하늘은 쾌청한 가을인데 햇살은 아직도 따가워 그늘을 찿아 식물원을 돌아 보다
분재원에서 발길이 멈추었습니다.
향나무 분재를 붓펜으로 그리며 행복했습니다~.
옆에 잎이 고운 느티나무도ㅡ 그려보았습니다.

어린이대공원을 이제사 첫방문^^

서울에서 태어나 죽 살아왔지만 어린이대공원은 이번이 처음 방문이었다

그것만 해도 감사할 일이 줄을 섰네 ㅎ

일이 있어서 집합시간에 늦었고 또 일이 있어 강평시간전에 갈수밖에 없었다

참 사는게 왜 하는일 없이 바쁜지...

     Children's park was where I went to go for a long time.
     I'd like to draw the dynamic animals.
     But, it's weekday, so crowded with children and their parents,
     and noisy with children's song from the speakers.
     First l drew leopard. They were nocturnal,kept sleeping all day,
     its good for drawing.
     Next, I went to elephants and zebra in turn.
     Contrary to the leopard, they moved constantly, it's hard to draw.
     Actually I'd like to draw giraffes, but there was no giraff in that place
     It's been a long time to visit the zoo, l was a little bit confused
     It's a little shocking to see animals in a narrow fence .
     I felt the fence was like a prison. I thought about 'the right of
     animals' for a moment while drawing a picture, but it's so complex
     and complicated matter, l had to stop my thought and just woke on
     my drawing. Someday the zoo will disappear ㅠㅠ
   
     Nice day, good work....
     Thank you for the animal models and member's good works^^

Seoul Children's Grand Park(서울 어린이대공원) is eco-friendly park located in Neung-dong(능동), Gwangjin-gu(광진구) in Seoul. The family theme park is one of the most suitable places to sketch various drawing matters such as animals, plants, throng of people or diverse facilities for children surrounded by greens in the heart of Seoul. I've been sketching the colorful scenes in the fantastic Children's Grand Park for a long time.

Last Saturday, the weather was so fine, we Seoul urban sketchers met at the interesting park to sketch together. From early morning, I began to sketch the dynamic playground scene and painted in watercolors using 54 x 72cm size watercolor paper at the amusement park(놀이동산) for 3 hours. I was absorbed in the large painting carefully from composition to details on the spot without moving. After lunch, I walked around the park and sketched the botanical garden, the elephant house, tropical zoo, and so on. It was a very pleasant and experimental sketch a day.

-----------------------------

서울 어린이대공원은 그리면 그릴수록 빠져드는 무한한 소재가 매력적이며

놀이동산의 생생한 장면들은 스케치를 위한 테마파크 같습니다.

아침부터 놀이기구 속에 동심을 싣고 나르는 스펙타클한 장면을 그리면서

이곳이야말로 가까이 열려있는 웰빙과 스케치의 낙원이라는 것을 느꼈습니다~~
