Sunday 13th July - Secret Garden - Blessington Street Park

 

This Sunday 13th July Dublin Sketchers will be meeting at a secret garden - the Blessington Street Basin from 14h. Let’s enjoy this glorious weather by the water and meet up for drinks at McGowan’s of Phibsborough from 16h.

From the east side the basin can be accessed from the Blessington street. If you are coming from Phibsborough, you'll find a small door in the wall of Royal Canal Bank.

McGowan's Pub is located on Phibsborough Road, Dublin 7 (D07 A562)

You can find lots of inspiration for sketching - like the Tudor-style gate lodge, small central island - or ducks.

Bring your sketchbook and pens, pencils etc! 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! 

From 4pm, we'll gather for a drink and to enjoy each other’s sketches at McGowan’s of Phibsborough. A bunch of sketchers will magically appear. 

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 platform. Please edit your image so that it is low res and properly oriented for posting to the website. If you are posting your sketch on Instagram please #dublinsketchers #urbansketchers 

Hope to see you there!
