Hi everyone,
I was thinking that we could meet up and sketch at the Viking festival this weekend. There should be lots to do and lots to sketch- all sorts of people (reenactors, performers, regular people), viking village, animals (there is a live animal show on at sometime), and of course buildings and other things that are normally there.
Also, lots seems to be happening on Wood Quay, so maybe we could meet by the big sculpture in front of the civic offices.
Does that suit people?
Cheers,
Kari
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.
Two watercolours by Joan, 'Daisies' and 'Poppies'
Difficult to photo them as the glass throws a reflexion. Pity not to have photographed them before framing.

Botanic Post
Some of us couldn't make it this week - otherwise engaged unfortunately. However the beauty of the sketchers group is that it is made up of who ever shows up on the day. Hope you all have a good one despite the weather. Don't forget to nominate a place to sketch for next Sunday and post it here - anyone can name a place. I won't be attending till Sunday July 20th probably but look forward to seeing faces familiar and new.
Regards and happy sketching,
James
