Bottega is the official journal and newsletter of the Drawing Society
of Canada. Bottega is the Italian name that describes the art studios
of the great Renaissance of the 1500's. Bottega features news about
the society, timely articles about the fine art of drawing, and
valuable writings of great authors especially when we reprint books
about drawing that are out of print. Bottega also features the brief
biographies of Canadian drawing masters and honourable members of
the society. Bottega is available in printed and online formats
and free to all who ask. In cooperation with the Hong Kong Society
for Education in Art, Bottega is now available in Chinese on their
website at www.hkedcity.net
and www.hksea.org.hk. Your
feedback and suggestions are most welcome.
