The idea for a world wide sketchcrawl originated with Enrico Casarosa of San Francisco in late 2004 . Enrico is an Italian storyboard artist and director who works at Pixar Animation Studios.
Since 2004, SketchCrawl has become a worldwide phenomenon participated by artists around the world armed with sketchpads, pencils, watercolor and other sketching materials.
Join Us - In Ottawa - July 29, 2017
So - put your pen to paper on July 29th for as long as you can (be it 20 minutes or 6 hours) drawing, sketching, journaling about your day and what you see around you. For one day, slow down, look around you, see ... and draw or write. Record your day. No specific level of skill is expected ! Anyone is welcome.

We will meet at the National Gallery near the sculpture "maman" (aka the spider).
There is plenty of parking.
We can gather, get to know each other and sit and sketch "maman",
the Basilica or head to the next spots: Major's Hill Park,
Parliament Buildings or the Bytowne Museum (canal locks)
12:00
Show and Tell: Bytowne Museum (canal locks)
Before lunch, we will have a quick show and tell
for the benefit of folks who are sketching for only a half day.
By meeting at 12, artists could decide where to have lunch together
and even sketch their lunch location!
RAIN CHECK-IN LOCATION
We will meet under the bridge: Rideau & Rideau Canal
