Sunday 12 April - Virtual Sketchwalk from GPO to Garden of Remembrance

This Easter Sunday 12th April we will be sketching from the safety of our own homes. Using Google maps in and around The Garden of Remembrance and/or, to the GPO.

We do not usually sketch on Easter Sunday but it would be a positive experience to remember all those who have gone before us and who are fighting for life in these unprecedented times.

We will start approx 2pm & finish at 4pm.

If you would like to join a zoom meet up at 4pm, the link will be added later. If you are in the WhatsApp group, post your sketch there or email to dublinsketchers@gmail.com

Unfortunately, due to the current Covid-19 situation, and in the spirit of social distancing, Dublin Sketchers will not meet on Sundays until further notice.

In the meantime, keep sketching and post your work online and social media, using the hashtag #dublinsketchers and #urbansketchersdublin

We keep in touch to let you know what's going on.

Sketches from Dublin Zoo Sun 5th April

Dublin Sketchers celebrated our 12th birthday with some virtual sketching at Dublin Zoo.

Sarah O'Reilly, who dreamed up the idea of Dublin Sketchers, was able to join us. A big thanks to all the people over the years who have helped out nudging the group along each week.

Here's Sarah's sketch.

It was a sunny day at the zoo and their live web cams and images on their website were great for sketching.
