The Seoul Children's Grand Park is most suitable place to sketch various subjects, such as animals and people or diverse buildings surrounded by greens. Last Saturday was comparatively clear weather, so we had a pleasant sketch time with enthusiastic work all day long. We are looking forward to join with new comers. Glad to see you!

Yesterday we met in Kangnam sketchcrawl after a long time. Unfortunately it was so cold and windy day for sketchers to work comfortably in the face of the wind. But after lunch, we had a pleasure sketch time at the STARBUCKS coffee shop sitting on the place with a fine view.

It was a fine day to sketch for Seoul sketchers. There are variegated necessaries of life, rare objects and many others. Those are certainly interesting subjects.

I drew hard with determination to sketch such a fun market frequently.

Today I attended the lecture meeting on the subject of Latin Culture and architecture. It was helded in KIRA(Korean Institute of Registered Architects)buiding. I drew this and that immediately in the middle of the lecture.
Unfortunately I hadn't a skechbook, I could not help drawing on the back page of the prints.

(Mr.Diego del Riso는 건축가이자 주한 Peru대사의 남편입니다. 강연회가 끝난 후에 이 스케치를 보여 주었더니 너무 좋아하면서 꼭 web site에 올려달라고 했습니다. 한-중남미 교류에 일조한 듯하여 기분 좋습니다.)

A few days ago, I dropped in at Changgyeonggung quite by chance and started on a drawing. I have sketched the ancient architectures on the very site two years ago. The memories of my childhood days came back to me while sketching, because my hometown from the age of five is around here.

The cold of this year is quite unprecedented. I sketched several pieces in the downtown of Seoul familiar to me with Seoul sketchers. Especially I was impressed by Mr. Stephen Kopp from Australia. Whenever he visit Korea, he joins with us in outdoor sketch.
