On Sunday morning every week, just before departure for outdoor watercolor painting, I used to sketch several sceneries around the wide parking lot of Hyundai Department at Apgujungdong.

two sketches on 2004, Seoul


On 2004 I sketched around Cheonggyechun, Seoul. The Chunggyechun was redeveloped. We can see clean water flows and walk along the stream now instead of over-highway covered under which polluted water ran before. But the low-rised buildings are still there waiting for site remodelling still. The above part of Saeun Shopping Center was removed for the open space for citizens. We can see the green lawn. The drawing was remained as a record.

dancers at competition

Last time when I saw the dancers' competition on Korean traditional dance at Sejong University I sketched them who were waiting for tieir turns at the hall. One girl was practicing repeatedly wearing her western style costume.

at wedding ceremony, June sketchcrawl


They're waiting for carrying the bride to bridegrom's house after wedding using a palanquin on their shoulders following the custom. But it's just for showing these days. It was lucky for us to see the traditional wedding ceremony though the procedure and tools were omitted and transformed to some degree.
