Myeongnyundang is one of the main component building of Seoul Munmyo, a Confucian shrine complex, which is more than 600 years and adjacent to Sungkyunkwan University up to the present.

Last Saturday, the weather was so good for our sketchers to be absorbed in drawing all day. I sketched and painted various subjects on the spot here and there, enjoying colorful sceneries to the full around the intimate cultural properties. The bottom three works were sketched three months ago when I visited the very place.
