서대문 자연사 박물관

볼거리  그릴소재도  많은    자연사  박물관!
어릴때나  어른이된 지금도   흥미로운곳인것 같다.
주말이라  사람들로  정신이  없었지만   새로운 소재를 그려보는  즐거움이  있었다. 또한
건물 창 너머에는     바람부는 추운날씨에도  장사하시는  모습이 인상적이었다.

서대문 자연사 박물관 Seodaemun Museum of Natural History

 

 

 

We visited Seodaemun Museum of Natural History.
I was a little hard because there were many people on weekend.
The giant sea whales and dinosaur bones hanging at the entrance were interesting objects to sketch.
Still, it was interesting to be able to draw materials that I would not normally draw.

입구에 걸려있는 거대한 바다고래와 공룡뼈는 스케치 하고 싶은 흥미를 돋구는 오브제였습니다.
주말이라 사람이 많아서 조금 정신없었던게 아쉽지만
그래도 평소에 그려보기 힘든 소재들을 그릴 수 있어서 재미있었습니다.

Though it goes to March it was not easy to sketch outdoor. The museum was big and easy to go up and down stairs by ramp and elevator. The museum went crowded as time went by with families and students. Years ago I visited there for sketching too. So this time I tried to draw different things. Ammonite on ceiling caught my eye. And the roe deer looked good. To draw the animal was not easy even though they don't move but the visitors passed so often hiding my sight. Benches were helpful. And the volunteers and keepers didn't say any looking at sketchers. It was thankful. 

Much thanks for all the participants in spite of cold weather!

서대문 자연사 박물관은 어린이 들이 좋아하는 공간같습니다. 그러나 거대한 공룡의 뼈나 마모스등을 그려보는 좋은 공간입니다. 오늘도 날씨가 차가왔는데 참여하신 스케쳐 여러분들께 감사드립니다! 

Sketches with Margo Bartley and Zheng Xiong Xiang

The following sketch was done by Zheng Xiong Xiang from Chine who has met at the observatory. He had shown interest and kept seen our works and had done this being requested. He kept his sketching tools in his sack. We just enjoyed sketching together unexpectedly. I told him about the activity of urban sketchers and city blogs all around the world recommending him to join after visiting the blogs. He visited the place on the way going to the Seoul Museum of Art located nearby.

YH Lee presented this sketch to him.  As soon as he got it happily and proposed to draw YH Lee. And he drew the following one and presented it to YH Lee. Both artists were happy of course.

I drew Margo while she was drawing her work.

I sketched the scenery at the small garden of Gyeongin Gallery after having dimpling with Margo using sepia conte.

I drew the above three pieces at the observatory with watercolor.

Margo took me to the nearby coffee shop 'Terarosa' and bought me a cup of coffee 'caffe latte'. The cafe was decorated with kinds of tools for making coffee. I tried one within short time. I sketched before having it not to ruin the pretty shape on the surface of coffee. 

Zheng Xiong Xiang was drawing with his sketching tools.

Several days' sketching together was meaningful for all of us. Sharing and encouraging was great. Unexpected meeting with unknown sketcher gave delight especially. We could be friends instantly putting out paper for drawing. Hope to have chances to sketch together later at somewhere in this globe. Thank you all, Margo and Zheng Xiong Xiang! Wish you to keep sketching anywhere! 

지난 며칠 동안 마고와 서울을 잠시 방문중이었던 Zheng Xiong Xiang과 스케치를 하면서 짧았지만 그림을 대하는 태도와 문화에 대한 나눔이 있었습니다. 그들에게는 번잡한 명동거리보다는 한국적인 것을 보고 느낄 수 있는 공간이 더 매력이 있었구요. 날씨가 추워서 고궁을 직접 그릴 수 없었던 것이 좀 아쉬웠습니다. 우리의 것을 잘 알고 그려야하겠다는 것을 다시금 느낀 시간이었습니다.

코엑스와 도심공항

 엄청난 규모의 책방이 코엑스 빌딩에 숨어있었군요

나도 책보는데 동참하고 싶기는 했지만 우선순위에서 밀려서...ㅎ

코엑스 남쪽문으로 나오니 건물들이 예쁜모습으로 반겨주어
그냥 지나칠수가 없었지요

Sketch meetup with Margo Bartley from Australia

Hi guys,

I hope you to spend happy Lunar New Year holidays!
I'm glad to inform you that we can have sketch meetup with Margo Bartley from Brisbane, Australia tomorrow, Feb. 17. If possible I expect we'll have more meetings during next week. We promised to meet at the main entrance of the Jogyesa on 11:30 am and will sketch around the temple. Wish anybody to join us during the sketching meetups!

어제 호주 브리스베인의 마고 바트리씨로부터 메일이 왔습니다. 일주일 정도 서울에 머무르는 동안 스케치를 함께 하고 싶다고 하셨어요. 조계사 근처를 잘 아시는 관계로 우선 조계사 일주문에서 만나기로 했습니다. 시간이 되시는 분은 누구라도 도구 지참하시고 나오시면 되겠어요.

즐거운 설 연휴 보내시기 바랍니다.

코엑스는 리뉴얼 이후에 사람들의 호응을 못얻다가

별마당 도서관이 생긴 이후 랜드마크로 자리 잡으면서

이전과 같이 다시 활성화되는 공간으로 자리 잡은 듯합니다.

많은 사람들이 오고 가면서 북적 거리는 공간이지만

그럼에도 불구하고 조용한 공간입니다.
