The first catholic church built in Korea, Yakhyeon Catholic Church is an early example of Gothic architecture of the 19th century.The brickwork of Yakhyeon Catholic Church is renowned for its architectural beauty. On the occasion of the 34 Worldwide SketchCrawl we sketchers met in the precincts of the church and enjoyed sketching in and out of the historied church building all day long.

Yesterday I sketched around Seoul Station where I've drawn many times. Seoul Station and the surroundings form an exquisite harmony between the old and new buildings. The more I draw on the same spot, the more I find a new angle.

The day scene was different from night. The atmosphere inside and outside would be better at night. But it seemed better to sketch at day for we could see more buildings clearly.

It was so cold outdoors to sketch that we met indoors and sketched freely at market building. There are various kinds of regional specialties, craftworks, pottery, and various traditional items and many others. Those are really interesting subjects. We sketchers including Mr.Stephen Kopp had a good time drawing some colorful sketches half the day yesterday.
