30th October, Howth Harbour

 


On Sunday 30th October, Dublin Sketchers will sketch at Howth Harbour from 2pm and meet for drinks at 4pm at the Doghouse or Bloody Stream dependant on numbers.

Points of interest: Harbour boats, Claremont Beach side of Harbour, East pier, Howth Castle (10m walk), Lighthouse, Martello tower, Balscadden beach (west pier), Howth market.

The weather is a unpredicable these days but it seems promising this sunday. In case of rain, the upstairs of Findlater's pub might be an option as it offers views on the harbour. On the east pier, there are sheltered seating areas embedded in the wall. There is a restaurant and tea room with space (dog friendly) called the dog house next to the dart station.

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.

 

If you would like your sketch to be added to the website, email it to dublinsketchers@gmail.com or post it to the Dublin Sketchers Social WhatsApp group if you are on that. Please edit your image so that it is low res and properly oriented for posting to the website.

 

See you there!
