Hey everyone! Here’s a little free handout I made for the first ever USK:MTL instructed workshop! Held this past weekend in the Old Port of Montreal. The local team put on a great event, with three instructors, in a excellent location offering drawing subjects only a few steps away!
If you’re ever in town and looking for a cute place to sketch, I recommend the little park called Place d’Youville. It has one of the loveliest buildings in town: the Caserne Central de Pompiers. Built on the archeological site of the first Parliament of Canada. There is a very well done museum exhibition and interpretive installation on site. All of the blocks right around here feature quaint views that take you back to an earlier time. It is also the site of a little festival: the 18th Century Market, which is produced every year by the Pointe-à-Callière – our local archeology museum.
Thanks everyone who came to sketch for the day!
