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 to 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.

Sketches from Merrion Square and Natural History Museum, 19 March 2017

The afternoon turned out to be drier than forecast and the Merrion Square area was thronged with families enjoying the day. And the Natural History Museum's collection was as fascinating as ever.

(And a few sketchers managed to pop in to see the Graham Norton portrait before meeting for coffee at the National Gallery)

This week's optional challenge is to draw someone dressed in green

Hope to see you there!

Sketches from the RHA - 12 March 2017

Despite the fact that the main room upstairs was closed while a new exhibition is being installed, everybody found something interesting to sketch. It was a sunny and showery afternoon, typical March weather - and some sketchers went out to St Stephen's Green to catch the first signs of spring.
