Thirdly is an invite to sketch in some seldom seen rooms in the RDS that are full of paintings, sculpture, and rare, odd and interesting objects as part of Culture Night(which will take place on Friday September 24th 2010 all over Dublin and towns around Ireland).

Incidently at the RDS rooms the Narrative Arts Club will be performing a series of shows of about 20 minutes each, at the following times: 6.50 pm, 7.50pm, 8.50pm and 10pm. In the intervals, visitors are free to wander around and see the other attractions of this very special venue: the beautiful arthitecture, furniture, paintings and sculptures, the first film projector used to show a film in Dublin, plus special science demonstrations arranged for the evening.

More info coming about this...

I had to leave a bit early so missed the post-sketching coffee session. Great location, you could easily spend a week sketching there.

Some sketches from today in the Natural History Museum, 29th Aug. 2010

meeting this Sunday at the Natural History Museum

Hi everyone,

we'll be meeting at 2pm just inside the entrance. We'll sketch for about 2hours and aim to be down at the cafe in the National art gallery for 4pm. If your new do come along!

Suggestions for next Sunday

It's that time of the week again!

Ideas suggested on Facebook are the Natural history museum and the exhibition of High Crosses at Collin's Barracks. Any other suggestions?

If it's a city center location I should make it down (I'm actually working for Dublin Simon immediately prior to 2pm).
