sketches at Son Gi-jeong Memorial Park by Choi Seung-won

The following drawings were done by Choi Seung-won.

월계수 나무가

소슬바람으로 인사하는

 붉은 벽돌이 있는 아름다운교정

 이곳을 오르내린 선수

  기리는 사람들

오늘도 그림에서

그들 봅니다.

월계수나무길     324x190  Acrylic on wood

높은 계단을 올라가

오래된 은행나무에서

신목神木이 된

그들 봅니다.

높은 계단은

그가 땀을 흘린 곳

고목은 죽은 나무가 아나라

古木일 뿐입니다.

그의 모습에서

서글품을 느겼습니다.

뒷모습에

그가 하고픈 이야기가

배어 있습니다.

It was a hot day. But we enjoyed the cool day by the shade under the big trees. We finished the sketching at the pavilion from which we could see the village from the hill. Son gi-jeong won the gold medal  in 11th Berlin olympic marathon establishing a new record on 1936. 2014 will be a 100th anniversary of his birth. Celebrating it the remodeling is undergoing for better. Thank you for participation.

더운날씨였으나 나무그늘아래 평상과 툇마루에 앉아 더위를 못느끼며

즐거운시간을 보냈습니다. 다들 함께해주셔서 감사합니다.

A monk visiting the place asked him to draw on his fan.

The artist drew with acrylics with pleasure and presented it to him.

The monk was pleased with the drawing so much.

Susie Kopp was busy with knitting.

The following three sketches are of mine.

watercolor, pencil, 30.5 x 22.9 cm

What a pleasure sketching together at a nice place is always! Today was just like that. I went with my mother after my father's death last Monday. She needed rest and to forget the sorrow for a while. I thank for the kindness of Seoul sketchers and Mr. Mrs. Kopp to my mother. They'll leave Korea within days. Of course we promised to meet and sketch together whenever they come to Korea. Thank you all!

Sketches by Sang-Hee Moon at Soongshil University

Thank you, Ms.Yoo and Mr. Lee, another great sketch session. It was a hot day, even though there weren't many trees or shades nearby to protect from the summer heat, the campus was full of great energy. There was even a student group, climbing the walls of the campus, doing jumping, handstands, and so on. The music building to the side was called Ahn Ik Tae, the composer of the national anthem, was interesting with many different patterns/shapes, which I didn't get to sketch, but made the campus more lively. All in all, it was a good day. Looking forward to the next meetup/sketch session!!!

Sketching with Stephen Kopp from Australia

Mr. Stephen Kopp from Sydney, Australia visited Korea again. He has been sketching together with us for years whenever he comes to Korea with his wife Susie. Last Saturday, June 2nd, 2012 he joined us at Soongsil University. He usually paints using acrylics on canvas. This time he drew the scenery at the entrance of the campus.

We thank him and his wife for participating in sketching as often as he can. Tomorrow, Thursday, we try to sketch the beautiful Unhyeongung located at Unni-dong near Insadong. Hope you to come and sketch if you can. See you tomorrow!
