Sketches from Liberty Park

That was another rainy, cold Sunday. But, as you can see from the sketches below, rain didn't certainly stop our brave group! Thanks to everybody who made it and a big welcome to our new member Hyejin!

Sunday 20 August, 2017 - Liberty Park, Dublin 1

Hello everyone!  
We hope you are keeping well despite the crazy rain these days. 

For this Sunday we have partnered with the Treeline Project to offer you a new exciting sketching location: Liberty Park (Eileen McLoughlin Park), Foley Str., Dublin 1.  

As usual, we will meet there at 2pm and then have a coffee together later on.    

[UPDATED] For the coffee-time we'll meet at 4pm in the Parlor Café, inside the North Star Hotel, 1 Amiens Street. Just walk into the hotel and go straight, you'll see the entrance to their Café on the left. We have a table booked there for us. 

If it starts raining today, we recommend seeking shelter at the LAB Gallery or by the Connolly Train Station. 

If it’s your first time out and you can’t spot anyone who looks like a sketcher at 2pm, just choose something to draw and get stuck in. Keep your eyes open for anyone carrying a sketchbook and say hello. Don't worry if you're late, most of us usually are! You need to bring your own paper and pens/pencils etc.   

A bunch of people who look like sketchers will magically appear.    

Hope to see you there!

Sketches from Temple Bar

After a few wet Sundays, yesterday turned out to be dry and nice. We had a lot of fun sketching the colourful pubs and crowds around Temple Bar. One of the highlights of the day was seeing our very own sketcher Davey busking on the street! At least three sketchers did him a portrait to thank him for the great show :-)

Keep your eyes open for anyone carrying a sketchbook and say hello. Don't worry if you're late, most of us usually are! You need to bring your own paper and pens/pencils etc.

For the coffee-time we'll meet at 4pm in the spacious Fitzsimons Temple Bar. Address: corner of Essex Street and Eustace Street. A bunch of people who look like sketchers will magically appear.

Hope to see you there!

Sketches from Portobello area

August in Ireland is not the driest month. But we won't let that spoil the fun. There were plenty of cafés and pubs in the neighbourhood, with lots of interesting visuals to keep us amused for the afternoon. Definitely an area we'd love to explore again on a dry day.

Welcome to new sketchers, Nadia and Marylène. We hope you enjoyed the outing despite the rain!

And thanks to the Eatyard for the shelter, delicious food, and friendly staff at Burn Baby Burn and The Box Burger!

Sketches from Griffith College and Noshington

Bit of a damp squib of a day, but we sketched between the showers .... most of us over hot beverages and tastey food in the very welcoming Noshington on the South Circular. We all had a shot at sketching each other, with much amusement along the way.

Some people might not have made it to Noshington cos of the rain, so do email in any sketches and we can put them up.
