Sketching toronto areas: These are wonderful places to set up one's easel and sketch unique and beautiful areas. As a printmaker, I then take these sketches back to my studio where I use them to build a plate for my relief prints. This is a resource that is so accessible and lovely one can hardly believe it is right in the middle of our city!
