Sunday 12 April - Virtual Sketchwalk from GPO to Garden of Remembrance

This Easter Sunday 12th April we will be sketching from the safety of our own homes. Using Google maps in and around The Garden of Remembrance and/or, to the GPO.

We do not usually sketch on Easter Sunday but it would be a positive experience to remember all those who have gone before us and who are fighting for life in these unprecedented times.

We will start approx 2pm and finish at 4pm. Don't worry if you're late - it's Sunday after all!

We will meet at 4pm on Zoom. We will check out each other's sketches. Bring your own refreshments.

You will need a password to join the meeting. You will find this password on the What's App group "Dublin Sketchers" if you are a member or email dublinsketchers@gmail.com before noon / 12pm on Sunday to ask for the password.

Sketches from Dublin Zoo Sun 5th April

Dublin Sketchers celebrated our 12th birthday with some virtual sketching at Dublin Zoo.

Sarah O'Reilly, who dreamed up the idea of Dublin Sketchers, was able to join us. A big thanks to all the people over the years who have helped out nudging the group along each week.

Here's Sarah's sketch.
