Pointe-a-Calliere New France Market: Sunday Sketching

13Aug26_New France Market_01



Just back from yesterday’s event at the Pointe-a-Calliere museum in old Montreal.  A big group of USk:MTL sketchers came out to draw the costumed re-enactors at the 18th century public market.

We
had great weather for drawing and plenty of subject matter. Musicians
and merchants, potters and soap makers, sea captains taking on crew,
pirates dodging soldiers, and the black-robed priest chastising tourists
about their immodest clothing.

If you’re in Montreal on a fourth Sunday, we hope you’ll look up our sketching plans at the USK:MTL blog. Everyone is welcome!
