Sketching Spring Ephemerals with Alan Li in Toronto’s High Park

Spring in Toronto is notoriously fleeting, and nowhere is that more apparent than in the delicate, short-lived blooms of spring ephemerals. This outdoor workshop in High Park offers the perfect opportunity to slow down and capture these blossoms through the art of sketching.
