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.
Meeting this Sunday
meeting on the northside at Sean O'Cassey bridge (new pedestrian bridge linking IFSC to city Quay on the southside at 1pm..if your new have a sketchpad out or text me if your going to be a few minutes late as we might be hard to recognise!
Map
we can then head down to sketch the boats/ people at the docklands around the IFSC. If it rains we can head to Connolly to do some life sketching or the indoor market in the IFSC.
Botanic Gardens for next week? James do you want to organise a meeting place for this? sorry for the delay in posting...! also a few people are heading to Indiana Jones tomorrow night in Tallaght.

Sunday 1st June Suggestion - The Botanic Gardens Glasnevin
How about the glasnevin botanic gardens this Sunday - meetup at main entrance at one pm as per usual - great venue from the point of view of variety - plants,trees, animals - squirrels, people, dogs, fish, architecture - greenhouses, ponds, restaraunt. I have a rousseau like painting in mind and remember a particular greenhouse that should fit the picture...
Also Saturday evening if anyone wants to go see the new indiana jones film in the square tallaght - a couple of us are going to see it a eight forty five pm late i know but some of my pals are working till sixpm sat hence the late hour suggested - any way all who know us (james m and sarah o'r) are welcome.
Regards,
James

Some sketches done last Sunday

Newbie - by all accounts.
Hi All,
Just a quick note to say hello and to enquire a little about the DCSG. A great idea I think!
I'm really just a beginner and wonder is this the right route I should take at this stage? I am also in my mid thirties too, so would I be too old to get involved? No offence taken on this end if so.
All best,
Ciaran.

Iveagh gardens
Iveagh gardens sounds like a great place to sketch - especially if they have sculptures there too....... I sadly won't make the next three Sundays, but hope to be back in the middle of June. Loved the stuff from last weekend.

Sketch - Sunday 11th Stephen's Green
Didn't fix up the tree, so it is a little too dark, but in general happy enough and like the composition. Will use the sketch for a further painting I hope. Thinking watercolour! Two different settings on my camera, hence the differences in the sketch.Really enjoyed it yesterday, apart from having two pink arms from sitting in the sun!
Work from Sunday 11th in Stephen's Green
The Pond in Stephen's Green (photo of scene inc. below)- this is the third pastel I've done this year and I'm pretty happy with it partially on account of not having used pastels for about 10 years previously and also because I feel I've learnt quite a bit from this session.The other two are also shown below, "St.Audeons " from last Sunday session, and the "Hill Overlooking Pond - Bushy Park" from about three days ago.
The Iveagh Gardens sounds like a good idea to me - do people know how to get to it? There is an entrance down a side street on the right halfway down Harcourt Street as you head towards Stephens Green - we could meet there or simply walk up from the Stephen's Green arch if that's an easier meeting point.

Iveagh Gardens
Hi all,
Had an amble through the Iveagh Gardens on the way home and it turns out that there's a big sculpture exhibition on there at the moment called "secret garden". Methinks it'd be an ideal place for a meetup.
More info here:
http://www.visitdublin.com/Events/AllDublinEvents/Detail.aspx?id=242&mid=4474
A few more photos (and the photos from Christchuch last week FINALLY!) here
http://community.webshots.com/album/563382871uayStV
What do yiz think?
(Apologies for starting a new thread to Sarah - but I wanted to attach some images!)

At last I seem to have managed to get my artblog going. Not very elegantly done, but a blogspot nonetheless! http://www.iontas.blogspot.com
Next meeting Sun 11th
Hey all,
Suggesting 1pm at Stephen's Green next Sunday 11th, at the main arch entrance. Idea is to sketch inside the green itself, weather permitting. If weather v. bad we can retreat to cafe in shopping centre which has brill views over Grafton St and down towards Baggot St. If you're new to the group have your sketch pad out so as we can recognise you. Also we were discussing some more ideas for places to sketch at the last meeting and a couple of people suggested getting out of the city and into the surrounding hills - which would be great on a sunny day! One option would be The Blue Light, which apparently is about a 30 min walk from Dundrum. Another one is Johnny Foxes - would mean people having to drive though. I only mention all this now as logistically it would take a little more planning to sketch outside of the city. Perhaps people could indicate if this idea interests them, and if so perhaps a month that would suit best....

New Artblog
Hi all,
I just set up my new artblog (very proud of myself as I normally abstain from all things remotely technical, but was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was!)
You can find it here at http://sarah-bowie.blogspot.com
Cheers,
Sarah
