The Anglican Church of Korea, Jeung-dong, Seoul

At the Namdaemun Market, Seoul

A girl was having hot noodle sitting on the resting floor at Namdaemun Market, Seoul.

Seoul sketcher Kim Kyung-hee was washing her work at Namdaemun Market, Seoul.

I sketched Steve's portrait in pencil at Namdaemun Market, Seoul. Thanks a lot for Steve's family and Seoul sketchers in spite of cold weather.

시드니에서 방문한 Steve씨와의 sketchcrawl은 추웠지만 재미있고 색다른 경험이었습니다.

고즈넉한 성당의 풍경은 언제봐도 아름답습니다

글을 쓰는 내겐 평생 친구이며 떼어 놓을 수 없는 존재, 연필이어서 그려봤습니다

We had lunch after finishing sketching at Namdaemun market.

Kim Kyung-hee, Lee Yong-hwan, and Steve from the left were busy with sketching at Namdaemun Market, Seoul.

Grand drum laid in front of Duck-soo Palace for the ceremony of alternating of a chief of gatekeepers in traditional clothes. But due to the cold weather the regular event was postponed.

I drew this at Namdaemun market, Seoul


At the Anglican church of Korea I sketched this one with chalk holder. Though the weather was not warm at all sketching with other friends was always fun and pleasing. Thanking for Steve and his attractive wife, Susie, and his lovely daughter to participate in this hard weather, we promised to meet again and again in Seoul and in Sydney someday! Thanks for all participants too! See you in next sketchcrawl soon!

I sketched on the wharf at Incheon last Dec. It was bitterly cold outdoors, I had no choice but to sketch in my car looking out of a window. It was another good experience for outdoor sketchers.

Sketchcrawl 2 with Steve from Sydney

Mr. Lee presented his portraits of them at the Francisco Hall.


지난 29일에 만나서 스케치했던 스티브씨와 오는 1월 9일 토요일 오전 11시에 덕수궁 앞에서 다시 만나 스케치하기로 했습니다. 진지하고도 열정적인 그의 작업태도에 감명을 받았으며 다시 한번 스케치를 함께 할 수 있어 감사한 마음입니다. 그날의 스케줄은 확정되지 않았으나 남대문 시장의 알파문구 안내도 해볼까하며 시장에서 스케치좀 하다가 명동을 거쳐 종로쪽으로 나가보려고 예정하고 있습니다. 날씨가 좀 따뜻하기만 바랄 따름입니다. 그날 뵈어요.

(We'll have another sketchcrawl with Steve from Sydney on Jan. 9, 2010. We meet on 11 am at the same spot, in front of Ducksoo Palace. We have no plan yet about the course of sketching. But We try to guide him Alpha Art Material Supply shop, Namdaemun market, Myungdong, and Chongro streets. Hope the weather be better than now and see you there!)

Sketchcrawl with Steve at Jeondong

Steve Kopp


Steve drew enthusiastically.


He was completely absorbed in his drawing.


Susie Kopp


Jeongdong Church


Appenzeller/Noble Memorial Museum


We enjoyed sketch time with Steve and Susie at Jeondong.
It was awfully cold but all of us had a pleasant day.


Sketchcrawl at Jeongdong with Steve from Sydney

Part of Turtle ship of Baek Nam-jun, Video artist, in an exhibition at Gwanghwamun Square, Seoul. You can see more at this blog.




As soon as I touched the brush on paper the water became frozen leaving interesting pattern.



At the Jeongdong Church I tried the geometric shapes made by different roofs of attached buildings of church.

At Baejae building, I caught the reflected image on a glass wall of Baejae building.





Steve, Susie and Lee Yong-hwan posed in front of King Sejong Statue at Gwanghwamun Square.

Though the weather was so terribly cold, we enjoyed the meeting and sketching. Steve wanted to have another sketching with Seoul sketchers before his leaving. Hope to see you then.

정동에서














오늘은 호주에서 오신 스티브님 부부와 유병화님, 이용환님, 저 이렇게 다섯 명이 모였네요.
덕수궁 앞에서 만나 정동극장, 배재학당에서 스케치를 했습니다. 물감을 종이에 적시자마자 얼음조각이 되더군요. 저는 2시쯤 작은 아이때문에 일찍 돌아왔습니다. 그 후에도 좋은 시간 보내셨는지 궁금하네요. 스케치를 통해 새로운 사람들을 만나는 즐거움이 있네요. 다정한 부부의 모습은 참 보기가 좋았습니다.

I wonder where that cloth's owner is.
