Dublin Sketchers Group: February 2015

SUNDAY 1st MARCH - THE BRAZEN HEAD

Hello all,

A big thank you to James who organised all the venues in February.

We begin the month of March on Sunday with a visit to Ireland’s Oldest Pub - The Brazen Head.

http://www.brazenhead.com/

We’ll meet at 2pm at the entrance to the Brazen Head. Don’t worry if you’re late - just get stuck in and draw whatever takes you fancy.

Outside the Brazen Head there is a great view of the Four Courts, or you could stroll up to Cook Street and attempt to draw the Medieval City Walls.

Here's a website

At 4pm, we'll meet again at the same place for refreshments and a chat.

If you haven't been before keep your eyes open for anyone carrying a sketch book and come and say hello.

Hope to see you there!
