Workshop overview:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Two sessions are dedicated to putting the concepts covered throughout the program into practice. The first takes place in an outdoor urban setting (location to be announced), while the second is held at the National Gallery of Canada. Whenever possible, feedback will be provided throughout the session.<\/p>\n

Outdoor Urban Sketching Session: Participants will sketch on location in an urban environment while applying the concepts introduced in the workshops. Emphasis will be placed on observation, composition, perspective, and developing the confidence to make drawing decisions in real time.<\/p>\n

Sketching at the National Gallery of Canada: This indoor session offers the opportunity to explore a different sketching environment. Participants will be invited to choose to draw architecture, galleries, artworks, and people, while adapting their approach to the unique challenges of working indoors.<\/p>\n

Regarding the instructor: <\/strong>Largely self-taught, Marcelle Chabot has been actively practicing urban sketching for the past five years, both in the National Capital Region and during her travels. Committed to continually improving her skills, she is also pursuing formal training in drawing and watercolor painting. As a member of the Board of Directors of Urban Sketchers Ottawa-Gatineau, she regularly organizes sketching outings throughout the region.<\/p>\n

——<\/p>\n

Urban sketching is the practice of drawing on location, capturing the places where we live and travel through direct observation. It brings together sketchers of all skill levels in an inclusive movement built around a simple idea: to draw what we see and tell the story of the world, one sketch at a time.<\/p>\n

This September, Arts Visuels Gatineau is offering a series of theoretical and hands-on urban sketching workshops designed to develop both technical skills and artistic vision. The program opens with an introductory workshop on urban sketching, followed by two workshops focusing on two essential aspects of drawing: perspective and composition. Participants will then have the opportunity to apply what they have learned during practical sketching sessions, both outdoors and indoors.<\/p>\n
