A Great Day at the National Art Centre

The Ottawa Urban Sketchers enjoyed a great day sketching at the National Art Centre (NAC)! There were lots of familiar faces and lots of new faces as well. We had one urban sketcher from Spain join us and an art teacher joined us with several of her students.

Special thanks to Nadine who suggested this sketch venue and date when we were 

sketching at the WW SketchCrawl #61 in the Byward Market (Oct. 20)

Thank you to EVERYONE who came out to join us !!
