Sketches at Yakhyeon Catholic Church







pencil, pen, watercolor, A 4



Much thanks for joining us!

It was a cloudy and cold Monday. We expected that the church would be quiet after regular mass of Sunday. But others might have thought like that. The shooting team was there for the drama "Passionate priest". The big truck loaded with kinds of photographing implements occupied the foreground. Staffs asked us not to pass here and there. Naturally the nice views were shielded by big truck and bus used for the scene. But it was a special experience to be with actors and actresses in a beautiful place drawing those real pictures. The shooting was ended at the same time as we finished our sketching. Though we couldn't enjoy the calm atmosphere of the church we had a chance to capture various scenes different from common subject. 

보통 월요일에는 교회가 쉬는 날입니다. 매우 조용하리라고 기대하고 들어선 마당에 이미 드라마 "열혈 사제: 촬영 팀이 짐을 풀고 있었어요. 때마침 주연 배우도 볼수 있었구요. 사제 복장을 하신 배우와 인사도 했습니다. 오전에 마친다고 하여 점심도 일찍 먹고 왔건만 도무지 마치지 않는 것이 끝내는 저희가 스케치를 마칠 무렵에 철수하더군요. 드라마 한편 보기는 쉬운데 그렇게 많은 인원과 보도 못한 도구들로 만들어지는구나 했습니다.

새로 참여하신 분들의 열정을 기대하며 함께 하신 분들 수고 많으셨습니다. 감사합니다.

sketches on spring days

Back garden of Sejong Center, Gwanghwamun is always crowded with citizens. Especially the place is loved by nearby working office men and women for chatting after lunch.

The garden of Guui catholic church is next to the east gate of Children's Grand Park. So the scenery was very beautiful. The place seems very good for sketching and relaxing after walking all the ways in the park.

요즘 비도 내려주고, 바람은 세게 부는 날도 있지만 녹음 우거진 경치는 매우 아름답습니다. 어디를 가도 그림 소재가 많아 좋습니다.

flower vases at the corner of the church

pen and watercolor, A 4



I saw this scene this morning at the Sejongro catholic church. The flowers will be used for the praying meetings of Legio Mariae(Legion of Mary). I felt those flowers so beautiful with attractive figure of shade around the desk. I enjoyed the sweet fragrance while sketching.

오늘 아침 세종로 성당 로비에서 아름다운 꽃을 보고 그렸어요. 풍성한 꽃에서 나는 향기를 맡으면서 즐거운 시간을 가졌습니다. 꽃도 꽃이지만 그림자의 모습이 매력적이었구요.

Many kinds of churches bring neighborhood to life showing various forms and symbolic images. In a residential area, the church is often the focal point for the local community.
Every church usually is a great place for sketchers to explore a number of drawing subjects. 
For the last several days, I've sketched some church buildings located in Seodamun-gu and Eunpyeong-gu, northwest Seoul near my village.

교회건축은 종교시설이지만 지역사회 공동체 역할도 합니다.  
크고 작은 개성있는 형태의 교회는 주민들에게 편안함을 제공하며~~
건물 이미지와 내부공간, 각종 행사들은 훌륭한 스케치 소재입니다.

two pencil sketches


piano man at the Anglican Church of Korea, Jeong-dong
pencil, 15.5 x 23 cm
Going to the Namdaemun Market I dropped in the church. While sketching the piano a man sat and played a nice piece. I added him instantly. It was easy because he wore black clothes as same as the black piano. After minutes' playing he left.

pencil 6B, 17.5 x 25 cm
I love to sketch this scene for the vertical lines,  planes with dark inside and the people coming and going on the floor. 

색칠하면서 생기는 어수선한 분위기보다 
연필 한가지로 그리는 것이 집중할 수가 있어서 좋았습니다.

sketch at Unhyeongung, pen, watercolor, 12 x 16 cm
I sketched this one sitting on the wooden floor under warm sunlight. I felt as if I were living there.

Seoul has lots of treasure as subjects for sketchers. And sketchers can bring them on small paper by a moment's attention with affection. 
날씨가 화창한 날은 스케치하기가 참 좋습니다. 스쳐지나 가던 쉼터도 그리게 되구요. 늘 보던 성공회, 운현궁도 작은 종이에 옮기니 재미가 있었습니다.

A watercolor painting in Chungdong First Methodist Church ( 정동 제일교회), Jung-gu, Seoul

Last Saturday, the fall weather was so fine for sketching. I visited Jeongdong Street (정동길) 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.

The Korean Orthodox Church (St. Nicholas Orthodox Church) is an Eastern Orthodox church in Korea. Built in a Greek style, although not that big, the church’s oxidized copper-green dome and matching cross are easily noticeable from the approach and the surroundings. Though it was a bit cold and windy on the street, inside the courtyard of the church it was shiny and seemed to be so peaceful. I sketched the elegant and beautiful church here and there in earnest.
New participants are welcome to join our Seoul urban sketchers! Thanks.

It was windy and cold in the morning. But inside the church the weather was rather warm and shiny. The church was near from the Aeogae Station, Subway No. 5. It looked beautiful and has calm atmosphere surrounded by village houses. Today two new participants have come. Welcome so much! Hope you to join us as often as you can! Thank you all!
