Rathmines 8th June

Hi sketchers,
This week we are heading to Rathmines. There is a garden trail on. It is €2 to each garden so some people might like to go into a local bar or cafe instead. At 4pm,we will meet at Cafe Moda on Lower Rathmines Rd. If you are new, look out for anyone with a sketchbook and say hello.

There are a few buses that go to Rathmines 14,15, 15a, 15b, 65, 65b and 142.
Mandy.

Sketches from 1st June

There was a good turnout this week. We split up a bit so there are sketches from Cafe en Seine, Fixx Cafe, Stephens Green and Trinity. There was portraits, landscapes and sketches of interiors so a good mix.

Cafe en Seine- 1st June

Hi creative people.

This week we are heading to Cafe en Seine on Dawson st.

The optional challenge for this week is to think of art nouveau, so draw some of the art nouveau features in the pub or draw something in the style of art nouveau.

We will come together in the pub at 4pm to look at each other's drawings. If you're new, just introduceyourself to anyone with a sketchbook.

Africa Day 2014 at Farmleigh

This week we are going to Africa Day at Farmleigh in Phoenix Park.

Expect lots of amazing things to draw! The optional weekly challenge is to integrate your favourite African patterns into your drawings. If it all gets overwhelming a nice calming thing to do is to follow the road a bit further and in just two minutes you will find the Donkey Sanctuary field full of sleepy Donkeys that make great subjects to draw or paint.

So, we will meet as close as possible to the entrance door of the main house at 2pm and back there again at 4pm for sharing. The website advises bringing a picnic rug or something to sit on, hopefully we will be luckier with the weather this week!

In addition to the normal buses running through the park, Dublin City Council will be running free shuttle buses from the entrance to the Parkgate Street entrance to Farmleigh, info here....

Hope to see you there!
