The Anyang Art Park is located near Gwanak Mountain, about equal distance from Gwanak Station, and Anyang Station, in the city of Anyang just south of the capital Seoul, Korea. The Park set in a wooded valley along the northeast edge of Anyang, and has a lot of interesting formative arts, famous buildings, some cultural properties, well-maintained Buddhist temples, and so on.
Last Saturday, and besides Children's day, the weather was so good for outdoor sketching mixed with crowd and nature. Seoul urban sketchers, including four new comers, had a pleasant sketch time in the fantastic art park. I sketched variegated sceneries around the park to my heart's content excitingly.
Thanks to Choi Seung-won for kind invitation and sharing a meaningful time with all!.

We met her on the way going to clime the art park at the bridge where she was sketching. She came late a little to miss our group and kept sketching alone! 
We appreciated her works which were drawn at Sokcho city, Baekdam temple and so on.





By the kind and considerate guidance of Architect Choi Seung-won we could enjoy all the sculptures installed in forest.
