Pop-Up Studio offers an inspiring weekly look at an artwork from the AGO Collection, before leaping into a 30-minute drawing exercise inspired by the techniques found in the work.

Each week focuses on a new work and technique or style, from collage to watercolour, to drawing, with a thematic focus on a diverse array of portraits inspired by the AGO’s Portraits of Resilience project. Pop-in online after your Wednesday workday for this free session, bring along your favourite drink, pencils and paper, and connect with others for a relaxing session. This is a free experience, but it requires you to register for each new session week by week. 

Our group of Pop-Up spring sessions features pastel drawing exercises inspired by the artwork of Richard Diebenkorn.  

Materials list: Pastels, chalk or oil, as well as a heavy, toothed drawing paper (bumpy to the touch).
