Namsan is well-known as a celebrated mountain in downtown Seoul. The mountain and surrounding area is a public park maintained by the city government. It is a popular spot for a panoramic view of Seoul. Moreover there are a lot of interesting subjects for sketchers at the change of seasons. I sketched diverse sceneries walking along the Namsan Circular Road halfway up the mountain.

The streets and markets were very busy. But sketching them with Seoul sketchers was fun. Thank you all the participants!

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.
