Dublin Sketchers Group: March 2019

Sunday 31st March 2019 Royal Hospital Kilmainham

On Sunday 31^st March Dublin Sketchers will sketch at the Royal Hospital Kilmainham (RHK) from 2PM.

Meet for drinks at the Hilton Hotel, Kilmainham (opposite Kilmainham Jail and at the West gate exit from the RHK).

If it’s your first time out and you can’t spot anyone at 2PM just chose something to sketch and get stuck in. Keep your eyes open for anyone carrying a sketchbook and say hello. It’s a friendly crowd who you’ll get to know over a drink 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 Harold's Cross

It was a cold day, but that didn't stop us from exploring and sketching all aspects of Harold's Cross. And chatting to the locals of course! Our sketchbooks will be displayed as part of the Harold's Cross Festival in mid-May. If you haven't been to Harold's Cross to sketch yet, it's not too late to join in! We'll be back in April for another sketch outing. Hopefully it'll be a tad warmer!

There's lots to sketch in Harold's Cross. Check out this map of points of interest if you haven't seen it already:
