약속전 잠시들러 급하게라도 스케치하길 정말 잘 한거 같습니다

We had a joyful sketching though the weather was not fine, somewhat windy and cold. Even at the same place we could see the different sides of the subjects and try the various mediums, which brings the valuable results unexpectedly. Thank you for the sketching together and delicious sandwich prepared by HS Song!

(어제에 이어 성공회에서 즐거운 스케치를 했어요. 같은 장소라도 정말 다양한 면을 볼수 있어 그곳은 매력이 있습니다. 다른 재료도 써보면서 기대밖의 수확을 얻기도 하지요. 오늘 날씨도 산산한데 함께 스케치할 수 있어서 좋았습니다. 송선생님 샌드위치를 성당 뜰 까페에서 먹는 분위기는 멋진 가을의 서곡이었습니다. 감사합니다.)

These were drawn years ago. At winter I often went inside the botanical garden for the warmth.

Sizes of all are about B4.

Seodaemun Prison History Hall from archive

pencil & watercolor

I sketched this one while I was caring my mother in law at the Seran Hospiral located across the Independence Park next to the Seodaemun Prison History Hall on 2001. The scenery was beautiful with colored leaves. It would be same as before if I could see through the windows of the hospital.

Jeoldusan Martyrs' Shrine is one of the famous historical sites remaining in Korea. It's located on the banks of theHan River on the east side of the Yanghwa Ferry Point crossing, the top of a small cliff rises high. The construction of the Shrine began on 1966, the 100th anniversary of the Pyong-in Persecution, and was completed in 1967. 103 Saints were canonized on 1984.
A few days ago, I visited the Shrine and drew some sketches with a reverential attitude.

A fine day

So many candles were lit by the prayers beside the Saint Maria. The Jeoldu Martyr's Shrine was originated by the intense persecution on 1866. The martyrs died at the place for the belief. The church building was constructed on 1967. 103 Saints were canonized on 1984. Now many descendent believers go on a pilgrimage to remember the saints' martyrdom. . It became a season of entrance exam for university. Many of the flaming candles might be for the examinees, I guessed.
