Parallel universe
Posted: July 12, 2015 Filed under: Uncategorized 10 CommentsHere’s something cool. There’s a whole other group of people who paint and sketch outdoors on Sundays in the summer, and it’s not Urban Sketchers. They set up easels on the Canal right by the St. Gabriel Locks every second Sunday in the summer. The group is organized by the Montreal Art Centre, and if you are interested you can even reserve an easel and a table. I joined them today to paint, sketch and watch the cyclists going by along the canal. They’re a really nice group, and if you want to find out more, check them out here. The views at the spot where they gather are pretty interesting too, especially if you like the overlapping mix of decaying industrial buildings and new condo complexes. Our Urban Sketchers group isn’t meeting again until August but if you want to meet the other group, their next outing is on July 26th.
Wow! That’s like discovering a Lost Tribe. I wonder if there’s a similar group in Ottawa?
It was a bit like a lost tribe Leigh. There is a group in Ottawa too, but we haven’t met yet although my friend Marc went to sketch with them last year.
Nicely done, Shari! I love how the colors compliment each other. I feel like I am there.
Thanks Linda!
That’s cool. To borrow a phrase from Stephen Wright, “Small world, but I wouldn’t want to paint it.” Although I think you do! 🙂 Another great sketch- thanks Shari!
I like that quote Tom. I hope all is well with you and that you are getting in lots of sketching this summer.
Thanks Shari! All’s well but not much time for anything but work and caretaking around the house but hope to do a portraits class with Dennis soon. Have a great time in Singapore!
Thanks Tom!
[…] Allez voir l’oeuvre de Shari Blaukopf, membre de Urban Sketchers, qui était de la partie dimanche. Très beau travail ! https://shariblaukopf.com/2015/07/12/parallel-universe/ […]
My wonderful Shari 🙂
