Dublin Sketchers get together every Sunday afternoon in Dublin to sketch. We go to a different place each week. Check here before hand to see where we are off to. Come along if you fancy it! We start sketching from 2pm and meet at 4pm for a drink and chat. We are part of the global Urban Sketchers community.
Sunday 3 December, National Gallery and Zurich Portrait Prize 2023
On Sunday the 3rd of December, Dublin Sketchers will sketch at the National Gallery from 2pm and meet for drinks at 4pm in Lincoln's Inn
If it’s your first time out and you can’t spot anyone at 2pm, just choose something to sketch and get stuck in. Keep your eyes open for anyone carrying a sketchbook and say hello. It's a friendly crowd who you’ll get to know over a drink from 4pm. Don't worry if you're late, most of us usually are! You need to bring your own paper and pens/pencils etc.
At the National Gallery, you will have the opportunity to see the short-listed entries for the Zurich Portrait Prize, with our very own Marie Lemen as one of the super-talented artists! And of course, there's lots more to sketch in all wings of the Gallery.

From 4pm, we'll gather for a drink and to enjoy each other’s sketches at the Lincoln's Inn pub where a table has been reserved. A bunch of sketchers will magically appear.
