On Friday 13th September, from 7pm, we will be sketching in Hughes bar, 19 Chancery St. They often play traditional music on a Friday night and it's a quiet local pub with a relaxed atmosphere. A perfect spot for sketching!
As there will be no life drawing with Dublin Drawing that evening, this is a great opportunity to sketch fully-clothed models - some of the models from Dublin Drawing might join in, or you can sketch the person sitting in front of you, or the musicians, or your pint even. Nothing too serious. Just drink and draw. Or take part in a sketch duel!
Keep your eyes open for anyone carrying a sketchbook and say hello. We're a friendly crowd. Don't worry if you're late, most of us usually are! You need to bring your own paper and pens/pencils etc. (probably best to leave your charcoal at home, though!)
The nearest Luas stop is Four Courts on the Red line. It's a ten-minute walk from the O'Connell GPO Luas stop on O'Connell Street
(PS: if you're interested in Life Drawing, check out Dublin Drawing's website - they draw at Pulse College nearby every Wednesday and Friday evening and sometimes on Sundays. And they're also a friendly crowd!)
Dublin Sketchers get together every Sunday afternoon in Dublin to sketch. We go to a different place each week. Check here before hand to see where we are off to. Come along if you fancy it! We start sketching from 2pm and meet at 4pm for a drink and chat. We are part of the global Urban Sketchers community.
