I’m a bit late in announcing this and for that I apologize. Holidays have messed with my internal clock. The next Croquistes de Quebec sketchcrawl will be held at the Morrin Center library. Yvan went above and beyond to allow us to sketch there.
If you’re not familiar with the Morrin Center it’s the home of the Literary and Historical Society of Québec, an anglophone organization. The crowning jewel of this organization is its library, which, with large, leather-covered rectory tables, bookshelf-lined balconies and tight winding stairways, is Quebec’s version of the Hogwarts library, without the book that scream at you.
Unlike most of our sketchcrawls, this one will be in the afternoon only, from 1PM to 4PM. You can get details of the event from the Croquistes’ website. I’ve never gotten to sketch there so I’m looking forward to it. See you there.
That´s a beautiful library! Best thing to do with an old prison, in my opinion. I´ll look forward to seeing your drawings from there.
It’s a pretty cool building. The library is on one end and there’s a large ballroom on the other end. In the basement they still have some examples of the cells and conduct tours in the summer.
