Last Saturday, the weather was so fine with clear sky for sketching. Seoul urban sketchers met at Yeouinaru(여의나루) in the Yeouido Park, which is famous for nature, culture and sports for all citizens and visitors. Especially, Yeouinaru is well known as a riverside family park where Han River's water taxis and Cruise Terminal(크루즈 터미널) locates. Tourists and visitors can enjoying the leisurely view of Seoul's modern skyline and the surrounding sceneries such as Han River bridges, colorful ships, boats and Cruise Terminal crowded with people.
At first, the familiar Eland Cruise caught my eyes, because I sketched the quay scenes for the 45th World Wide SketchCrawl at this location three years ago. I was attracted to the vivid riverside scenes and absorbed in sketching around Yeouinaru like for the first time. After sketching various scenes around Cruise, I drew portraits of two people near me on the spot, one is an urban sketcher and the other is a member of a water board club. And I presented the sketches to them as a memorial of Yeouinaru sketching.

여의나루는 한강변의 다채로운 풍경이 담겨 있습니다.
명물 선착장과 유람선, 한강 브릿지와 고층빌딩...
단란한 가족공원 인파들, 도시 스케일과 시원한 원근감,
시시각각 변화하는 물그림자와 색상들의 하모니~~
워터프론트의 두 모델도 물결 배경 속에 인상적입니다.
3년전의 스케치크롤 감흥이 되살아나는 멋진 하루였습니니다.

Last Saturday, the 45th worldwide SketchCrawl, usk Seoul members met at Yeouinaru, which is adjacent  to the Han River. There are lots of subjects to sketch in Yeouinaru. Han River and the surrounding sceneries including riverside high-rise buildings, cruise terminal crowded with passengers, colorful ships and boats fascinated us. Many buildings and bridges over the Han River presented the dramatic view of the panoramic skylines along the riverside. We enjoyed an exciting sketch time in the riverside open park.
