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.
Sketches from the Chester Beatty Library, Sunday 19th Sept. 2021.
Sunday 19th September Chester Beatty Library and Dublin Castle
On Sunday 19th September from 2pm Dublin Sketchers will draw out and about at the Chester Beatty Library and Dublin Castle
A
vibrant National Cultural Institution, the Chester Beatty was once the private
library of Sir Alfred Chester Beatty (1875 – 1968), a successful American
mining engineer, collector and philanthropist, the Chester Beatty is also today
a research library for scholars from all over the world. It was described by the Lonely Planet as ‘not
just the best museum in Ireland but one of the best in Europe. Join us for a lovely
afternoon of sketching. There are also
plenty of coffee options locally.
Rather
than meeting in a cafe or pub, we'll gather at the sculpture outside the library
at 4pm. Remember to observe Covid rules.
If it's your first time, just come along with your materials and paper. Say
hello to any fellow sketcher you see. Don't worry if you're late, we usually
are!

On
Sunday 5th September from 2pm Dublin Sketchers will draw out and about at Royal

The Royal Hospital Kilmainham is an iconic landmark. It was built in 1680 by
royal command and predates its sister, the Royal Hospital Chelsea, by just two
years. This is the oldest classical building in Ireland and was based on Les
Invalides in Paris. Love this location, Impressive, isn’t it? With lots of sketching opportunities and a Mobile Cafe on site too. 😋
