Seoul Children's Grand Park (서울 어린이대공원) is eco-friendly park located in Neung-dong(능동), Gwangjin-gu(광진구) in Seoul. The family theme park is one of the most suitable places to sketch various drawing matters such as animals, plants, throng of people or diverse facilities for children surrounded by greens in the heart of Seoul. I've been sketching the colorful scenes in the fantastic Children's Grand Park for a long time.

Last Saturday, the weather was so fine, we Seoul urban sketchers met at the interesting park to sketch together. From early morning, I began to sketch the dynamic playground scene and painted in watercolors using 54x 72cm size watercolor paper at the amusement park(놀이동산) for 3 hours. I was absorbed in the large painting carefully from composition to details on the spot without moving. After lunch, I walked around the park and sketched the botanical garden, the elephant house, tropical zoo, and so on. It was a very pleasant and experimental sketch a day.

서울 어린이대공원은 그리면 그릴수록 빠져드는 무한한 소재가 매력적이며

놀이동산의 생생한 장면들은 스케치를 위한 테마 파크 같습니다.

아침부터 놀이기구 속에 동심을 싣고 나르는 스펙타클한 장면을 그리면서

이곳이야말로 가까이 열려있는 웰빙과 스케치의 낙원이라는 것을 느꼈습니다~~

I've been working in my office near Yonsei University for many years. So I'm familiar with the Sinchon Campus and used to sketch the various scenes of the campus buildings from time to time.

Recently, Yonsei University has completed the campus remodeling project including underground parking lot for several years. So the Baekyang-ro, main axis of the campus, was closed to traffic and changed into the pedestrian mall as a meeting plaza and rest area. It is a great change to the pleasant atmosphere around the campus. 

I sketched some new scenes that I didn't draw before and enjoy the fresh atmosphere around the historic campus.

어반 스케치를 하면서 서울의 다양한 캠퍼스 시리즈를 수없이 그렸지만,

캠퍼스의 축을 따라 시원하게 전개되는 분위기는 연세대가 매력적입니다.

연대의 상징 백양로가 쾌적한 보행과 휴식, 만남의 광장으로 바뀌면서

차량이 없는 캠퍼스의 자유롭고 경쾌한 스케치 캠프로 태어났습니다.

캠퍼스는 항상 활기차고 성장하면서 변화해가는 좋은 스케치 테마입니다.
