MONTREAL<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Montreal’s small, walkable city center makes the second-largest city in Canada ideal for urban sketching. Local artist Marc Taro Holmes<\/a> is drawn to the ornate architecture of French and English historic buildings around the Old Port, as well as the many intricate lines of cathedrals and churches.<\/p>\n

ARTIST PROFILE
\nMarc Taro Holmes<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

<\/strong>“I’m kind of a late starter as an artist; finally becoming a full-time artist at age 40. Part of my method of self-retraining has been obsessive daily sketching– either from the model, from imagination, or by placing myself in exotic locales. After a few years of inveterate sketching, I think it’s becoming a lifestyle”<\/p>\n

“I have a short attention span, so sketching and designing has always been my ideal form of expression. For me, the artist’s gestural line carries a lot of feeling that can be lost in protracted work. I starting keeping sketchbooks while travelling, as a way of recording my experiences in foreign cities, while simultaneously calming my fidgety attention. I can get mesmerized capturing all the little antique details on an old Gothic building, Victorian houses, sprawling mansions, and old stone bridges.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
