"Results for Ottawa SketchCrawl"
It was a bit chilly, and we had a dump of snow yesterday, but we had our best turn out to date for the 39th International SketchCrawl. We had eight sketchers who braved the weather including some students who totally embraced the Urban Sketching concept. This is awesome - if we can get a few sketchers out on a day like today, just wait for the summer!
Here are my results from a very full day of urban sketching. I spent most of the day drawing in and around the Byward Market in Ottawa plus I did a couple sketches en-route to and from home. Needless to say, I am one tired artist tonight!
Don't forget, all of these sketches are for sale and I will be donating 50% of the proceeds to impossible2Possible.

Breathtaking points in gaenrel, you simply gained a new reader. What would you recommend about your post that you made some days ago? Any optimistic?

Hi I met a friend of yours on the bus today and he told me about the Urban Sketchers. Funny I have never heard of them despite being involved in the Calgary art community for a number of years. They are international too…oh well. I have recently moved to Ottawa, and I sketch all the time on the bus. I would love to be involved. Please tell me how…
