Sun 31 June at Dublin Docklands





On Sunday the 31st of June Dublin Sketchers will sketch in Dublin Docklands from 2pm.
Explore down along the Liffey and the IFSC area with your sketch book.

Weigh bridges, cranes, boats and hopefully sparkling water!




From 4 o’clock, we will gather in the Gibson hotel where they have an amazing balcony that overlooks the docks. Take lift up to the reception floor and look out for a bunch of sketchbooks.

If it’s your first time out and you can’t spot anyone at 2pm, just choose 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.A bunch of sketchers will magically appear.

Hi Dublin Sketchers.

Some time ago we were invited to contribute to the new publication By Emma Bennett, which will be called the Dublin Art Book.   It follows a series of the The Cambridge Art Book, The Oxford Art Book, and also The Edinburgh Art Book  and The Liverpool Art book which will be published this year.
As some of you may have already contributed your work to the Dublin Art Book, this is just a timely!  reminder that just in case some more of you would be happy to send in some of your sketches.
The last  day to send in has now been extended to Wednesday 26th. June 21019.

The website is:  http://www.thedublinartbook.co.uk/index.html       and basically you can submit up to 12 images free for consideration and the final selection for publication chosen by a panel of local art and city experts.

    Click below on the link to get details of image file sizes  and  where to send them to:                                                        http://www.thedublinartbook.co.uk/dublingetinvolved.html

Remenber, not a lot of time left!   Best of luck,  M

SUNDAY 16th JUNE 2019 – BLOOMSDAY






On Sunday the 16th of June from 2pm Dublin Sketchers will sketch between the Garden of Remembrance and the park at Mountjoy Square, taking in that very Joycean route along Gardener Row/ Great Denmark Street and taking in the exhibition of notebooks by some of our members at the Olivier Cornet Gallery (3 Great Denmark Street, D.1) in honour of Bloomsday. The gallery will also have a performance which starts at 3pm and there will be a cheese tasting.

From 4 o’clock, we will gather in the Old Music House for coffee and a chat. 

If the weather is truly terrible, you can also take refuge in the Hugh Lane Gallery. 

If it’s your first time out and you can’t spot anyone at 2pm, just choose 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.

This week's optional challenge is to : Paint : Bloom related food items 

Hope to see you there!
