Sketching the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum

On Saturday May 11, 2019 close to thirty Ottawa Urban Sketchers 

met at the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum.

We want to thank the Museum staff for their warm and generous welcome. 

This is one of our favourite places to sketch in Ottawa 

especially in spring when there are lots of baby animals to sketch.

Here are some of the sketches from our day that the artists shared online (on our Facebook page) 

and some photos that were taken throughout the day/.
