Last Saturday, the fall weather was so fine for sketching. I visited Jeongdong Street for sketching with Seoul urban sketchers. Chungdong First Methodist Church is Korea's first Protestant church built in 1897 by Appenzeller and constructed with red brick, country Gothic style. The church is located in the center of the beautiful Jeongdong Street, and is especially beautiful in autumn, when the leaves fall from the trees that line the street. And the shadow of external brick wall of the church varies from hour to hour rhythmically. 

I was impressed by the attractive scene, and painted in watercolor standing up in front of the church half a day. 

가을 단풍 바람에 흩날리며 그림자와 함께 붉은 벽면을 스쳐가는 

정동 제일교회는 아름다운 정동길의 작은 보석 같습니다. 

정동길 따라 그리는 것은 어반 스케쳐가 누리는 작은 행복입니다.
