Dublin Sketchers Sunday 28th May at Drimnagh Castle from 2pm


On Sunday the 28th May Dublin Sketchers will sketch in Drimnagh Castle from 2pm and at 4pm converge for paella cooked over an open fire by Pat as well as teas and coffees. Please bring €5 for the pot if you want to enjoy some of the grub. And / or bring something to share.

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. Most people in the castle on Sunday will be sketchers! Don't be shy about entering the castle - it's tucked away back from the main street, stroll across the moat and sneak in through the wee door in the big door....

Don't worry if you're late, most of us usually are! You need to bring your own paper and pens/pencils etc.


This week's optional challenge is to include the castle cat in your sketch.

Thank you!

Thanks to Mandy, Elena, Marie Helene, Mauro, Jessica, and thanks in advance to Des also, for each organising a month of locations for Dublin Sketchers so far in 2017.

We'll need 6 more volunteers to organise locations for July - December.

Email if you are interested - it takes about 15 mins a week to organise and spread the word, and there's no expectation that you will attend the weeks you organise.


Sketches from Dublin Docklands - Sunday 21 May 2017

Lots of views of the Liffey and the changing landscape of Dublin; Look out for lampposts, boats, bridges, streetlights and cranes!

Sunday 21st May- Dublin Docklands

Hi sketchers.

On Sunday the 21st May Dublin Sketchers will sketch in Dublin Docklands from 2pm and meet for coffee at 4pm in the Chq Building.

There is a summer festival that will be on so there are things happening on the water as well as markets and a funfair. If you want somewhere a bit quieter, there are a few coffee shops around that might be good to sketch at. The festival has a facebook page which can be seen at https://www.facebook.com/Docklands-Summer-Festival-133780636700206/?fref=nf and website http://www.docklandssummerfestival.com/

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 CHQ building. It is a few minutes walk away- cross the river and go left then walk a little bit and it is on the right side-beside the Sean O Casey bridge. There is lots of tables so there should be plenty of room for everyone.

Hope to see you there!
Mandy

Sketches from Collins Barracks (Sunday 14 May 2017)

It was a beautiful day for Dublin sketching. Everybody found interesting views and subjects. Too many there to record all the names, so if you want your name included, add it as a comment, telling us which sketch is yours, e.g. "4th from the top, view of the Liffey"
