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.
Sketches from the Botanic Gardens Sept 6th
On Sunday 6th September, Dublin Sketchers will sketch in the National Botanic Gardens from 2pm and meet for drinks at 4pm in The Tolka House D09 VH02.
The Botanic Gardens offers indoor sketching opportunities should the weather turn.
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.

From 4pm, we'll gather for a drink and enjoy each other’s sketches at The Tolka House. A bunch of sketchers will magically appear.
If you would like your sketch to be added to the website, email it to dublinsketchers@gmail.com or post it to the Dublin Sketchers Social WhatsApp group if you are on that. Please edit your image so that it is low res and properly oriented for posting to the website. If you are posting your sketch on Instagram please use #dublinsketchers #urbansketchers.
