On Sunday the 29th May the Dublin Sketchers are going to Merrion Square for the Dublin City Soul Festival 
The starting point is at 2pm at the Leinster House (Government buildings) side entrance

If it’s your first time out and you can’t spot anyone who looks like a sketcher at 2pm, just choose something to draw and get stuck in. Keep your eyes open for anyone carrying a sketchbook and say hello. New people come along almost every week so don't be shy about introducing yourself.  It's a nice friendly gathering and you'll get know us over coffee 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 coffee at the National Gallery coffee shop. A bunch of people who look like sketchers will magically appear.

This week's optional challenge is to draw or paint the festival scene and to embue it with a sense of the weather and atmosphere of teh day.

Hope to see you there!

Thanks, and looking for volunteers

A big thanks to Mandy for organsing the locations for April, and James for organising May.

 If you'd like to set the locations for June, just email dublinsketchers at gmail dot com to find out what is involved. 

It's very easy, and by everyone helping out it helps to keep Dublin Sketchers alive.

 Thanks.
