The Lethbridge 10000 exhibition opening night was held last night and the winner announced. Congratulations to Claire Toms for her artwork “Two Hearts”. While my wife and I were browsing all the spectacular pieces I ran into Marcel Desbiens.

During a trip to France in 2011 we stayed at a delightful little hotel in Dijon, Hotel du Nord (a great restaurant by the way, but that's another story). Our room had a wonderful view overlooking the Info about Porte Guillaume.

You have a great photo you took and you need to scale it up to a reasonable size for a drawing before you start to paint. Free-hand sketching on the canvas doesn't cut the mustard as there is too much detail or you need to be more accurate to get the results you are after.
