4th Day in Suwon sketching at Buksudong Catholic Church

Final day of Asia Link Sketchwalk we took a subway line from City Hall Station to Maegyo Staion then a crowded bus to Suwon Hwaseong Museum. On the way walking to the Museum, I spotted a sketcher and went in to the compound of Buksudong Catholic Church. The group almost completed their sketch when I sat down and started to sketch. I continued to sketch after taking a group photo with the group who left with the sketchwalk staff. I met Ravi and his other sketchers who also stayed back to complete their sketches.

Buksudong Catholic Church was established in 1923 during the Japanese occupation of Korea, and is one of the designated Catholic pilgrimage sites. The church was shaped like a bishop's mitre and there were many beautiful sculptures on the green lawn.
