Kookmin University(Bugak campus) is a private university located in Jeongneung-dong, Seongbuk-gu, Seoul. Surrounded by the Bukhansan National Park, Kookmin University boasts a clean and green environment complimented by the most up-to-date educational facilities. There are colorful sceneries of natural landscape harmonized with various campus building clusters.
Last Saturday, the weather was so hot and sultry that I can't help sketching with washing my face in cold water many times. In spite of high discomfort index, I was absored in drawing diverse sceneries with satisfaction.

Pyeongchang-dong is located at the foot of Bukhansan Mountain in Seoul. It has long been considered as the village for the high society of Korea. Not only a number of luxurious and high guarded villas, but also well-known temples and high-class cultural facilities including Gana Art Gallery are nestled under the hill of the Mountain. Last Saturday, I sketched such colorful sceneries here and there with Seoul sketchers in a comfortable atmosphere.
