서울 어반스케쳐스 회원분들께

그동안 회원여러분과 함께 그림을 그릴 수 있어서 좋았습니다.
처음 시작할 때는 누구보다 많은 시간을 할애해서 좋은 그림을 그리고 싶은 마음이 컸지만
모든 여건이 따라주질 않았어요.
스케치 하시는 여러분이 보여주신 열정과 송파도서관에서 강의하시던 이용환 선생님의
진지한 자세를 잊을 수가 없을 것 같습니다. 회원으로서의 의무를 다하지 못함에
사과의 말씀 드립니다.
늘 건강한 모습으로 좋은 그림활동 하시길 바랍니다.
그간 보여주신 관심에 감사의 말씀 올립니다.

a sketch from the Western Gate Prison

I sketched a few pieces from the Western Gate Prison, but this is the only one looks comprehensible. overall the site was very historic plus ultra-depressing. i know we have to know what happened in the past and learn especially in the season like that independence week, but it's pretty hard to stare at the actual execution house and the trees the prisoners cried on.

kids ran around chasing each other on where it used to be prisoners exercise ground.

Sketches from Kunming Medical College

piles of surveys from urban streets of central Kunming. Young ladies of KMC never forget to bring their sun umbrellas with them. Kunming's altitude is high and the UV exposure is strong. good sunscreen and/or umbrellas won't do any harm!

Myeongnyundang is one of the main component building of Seoul Munmyo, a Confucian shrine complex which is more than 600 years and adjacent to Sungkyunkwan University up to the present.
Last Saturday, the weather was so good for our sketchers to be absorbed in drawing all day. I drew and painted various subjects this and that, enjoying colorful sceneries to the full around the intimate cultural properties.
