There are lots of wonderful views to sketch from the top floor of the library.

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 or Christmas drink to end the year, at the Forty Foot, Wetherspoon. Here is a link.

A bunch of people who look like sketchers will magically appear.

Looking forward to seeing you,

Aideen

We could have an informal portrait / life drawing session were people can take a turn, sitting for short 5 - 7 minute poses while the rest draws.

If the weather is fine, you could draw Westland Row station, the oldest suburban railway station in the world, or Oscar Wilde's birthplace opposite.

As we'll be in the coffee shop for a couple of hours, do remember to BUY a drink while you draw!

The session is from 2pm - 4pm roughly, and we'll have our usual gathering to check out each other's work in the same place.

If you haven't been before keep your eyes open for anyone carrying a sketch book and come and say hello. Don't worry if you're late, most of us usually are - it is Sunday after all!

Looking forward to seeing you there,

Aideen
