### 💬 A Little About Me
Hi friends! I’m Lucy, an artist based in Montreal 🎨
I love sketching in cafés, markets, and cozy corners of the city — and I’d love to meet others who feel the same.
These sessions are casual and community-focused:
Bring your own art materials, and if we’re in a café or restaurant, please support the venue with a small purchase ☕💛
📸 I sometimes take photos or short clips during events.
If you’d rather not be in them — no worries, just let me know!
Let’s create, connect, and explore Montreal’s inspiring spots together. 💛

Drawing at the Museum
musee des beaux arts, 1380 Rue Sherbrooke O, Montréal, QC, CAHey everyone, come sketch / draw at the Museum this Sunday, February 1, at 12:00 pm at the MBAM (Musée des Beaux Arts de Montreal).
After presenting your ticket, we will meet at the museum cafe on the 2nd floor, which is to the right of the main entrance. Look for Richard, he will be our gracious host and guide for this event.
At 12:15 pm, we will move from floor to floor, spending no more than 15 minutes per subject, with 2-3 subjects / floor. The goal is to draw fairly accurate thumbnails (3x2 inches, in 2-3 tones) of the paintings or statues. I will shadow the group to give tips / suggestions or in case you have any questions.
To those who prefer to go lone wolf or go awol after the theory, please feel free to do so.
You will need to carry your supplies, so I recommend going light with just a sketchpad, pencil or pen, and eraser - whatever can fit in your pockets. If you have a big bag or backpack, you will be required to check them in at the lobby.
Admission is FREE (for Quebec residents) on the 1st Sunday of the month so be sure to choose the 0.00$ ticket, under "General Admission". You can also choose to pay or donate.
You will receive an email from MBAM, with an attached PDF (your ticket) with a QR code.
Present this QR code upon entry.
See you all there!
