Ewha Womans University is one of the most favorite places for urban sketching in Seoul. I've sketched the charming campus for a long time, which has a good combination of the old and new buildings harmoniously. 

Last Saturday, the weather was so fine, I painted with watercolors around ECC( Ewha Campus Complex) with Seoul urban sketchers including Somali Roy, William Brearley, and many new comers. It was a very pleasant sketch time in the beautiful campus.

근대화의 역사와 더불어 온 아기자기한 이화 캠퍼스~ 

전통방식의 석조 캠퍼스 건축과 초현대식 건축의 하모니.. 

사이사이로 신구 조화를 이루는 절충식 건축과 숲속의 정경들.

아담한 교정에서 느껴지는 모든 장면들은 주변 도시풍물과 어우러져

무한한 스케치 소재가 넘치는~~ 항상 새로운 장소같이 느껴집니다.

Last Saturday, we Seoul sketchers met at  Ewha Womans University(이화여자대학교). It was founded on 1886 by Mary F. Scranton, an American missionary of the Methodist Episcopal Church.The campus located in central Seoul with surrounded natural greens and a number of old and contemporary buildings nearby one of the most popular shopping district in Seoul. 

Across the heart of the Ewha Womans University, the recently completed ECC (Ewha Campus Complex) shaped valley, is Korea’s largest underground campus. The ECC provides students with various services, from learning to cultural activities, all under the one roof. In a whole campus, lots of historic stone buildings and modern high-rise buildings are mixed intimately and harmoniously.  

It was a little hot during the day, but the natural air conditioning from the wood offered a cool atmosphere for sketching. I enjoyed sketching the beautiful campus buildings and several colourful scenes.

도심의 숲 속에 평화로이 자리하고 있는 웰빙 캠퍼스~~
역사를 간직한 옛 모습들과 새로 들어선 현대식 건축물들이 조화롭습니다.
현대식 명물인 ECC 건물은 땅 속의 마당,  숨은 듯 열려있는 현대식 조형미와
학생과 시민을 융화시키는 시원한 광장이 빛과 함께 많은 이야기를 쏟아냅니다.
작은 것들의 아름다움, 숲과 길과 언덕, 아늑함을 찾아서 스케치하기 좋은 장소입니다.
