On Sunday morning every week, just before departure for weekly outdoor watercolor painting, I used to sketch several sceneries around the wide parking lot of Hyundai Department at Apgujungdong. Especially I like the old fashioned Hyndai Apartment with a well- proportioned figure, that was built over 30 years old.
