| The National Gallery of Canada |
A great group of sketchers showed up for a wonderful evening at the National Gallery of Canada. There were some familiar faces and some new faces as well. We love that!
New sketchers are always welcome!

There were many fun challenges on this sketchcrawl:
- There was a museum rule of "pencils only" and "no erasers"!
- The time frame was short (5 to 8 pm) and there were so many galleries to choose from!
- The exhibit: Monet: Bridge to Modernity" drew large crowds.
- The busy holiday season meant that many of the Ottawa urban sketchers that wished to attend had to send their regrets instead.
At the end of the evening, everyone shared their sketches and it was clear that everyone enjoyed themselves overcoming the challenges and creating some great sketches
