Looking forward to seeing everyone's work.

If you are new to Dublin Sketchers - we normally get together on a Sunday afternoon somewhere around Dublin to sketch from 2-4pm, and meet at 4pm for a drink and to check out each other's work. We’re doing things a bit differently in 2020.

Dublin Sketchers plan for December 2020

So, here’s the plan for Dublin Sketchers for December 2020.

Sunday 6th December sketch out and about near to you or stay in doors with a theme for inspiration. Check back on 4th Dec for the theme.

Sunday 13th December Dublin Sketchers will be out and about in central Dublin or sketch locally if you prefer. Because it gets dark early, we will meet at 2pm - you can choose to sketch before or after. It’ll be great to see everyone and check out each other’s sketches.

New to Dublin Sketchers? If you have not been out with Dublin Sketchers before, and are going to come out on 13th December, please email dublinsketchers @ gmail .com before hand to let us know.

Sunday 20th December Dublin Sketchers will be out and about in central Dublin or sketch locally if you prefer, with a theme for inspiration. Because it gets dark early, we will meet at 2pm - you can choose to sketch before or after. It’ll be great to see everyone and check out each other’s sketches.

Dublin Sketchers will take a break for the 27th December and 3rd January before making plans for 2021.

On 13th December, Jessica will be the named organiser for Dublin Sketchers. On 20th December, Louise will be the named organiser for Dublin Sketchers. It goes without saying that everyone makes sure to keep 2 metres apart and follows government advice on Covid-19.

Remember -

- Keep 2 metres apart.

- Don't touch other people's sketch books or share your sketching kit.

- If it's raining, we won't move indoors together.

- Face coverings are now recommended in busy or crowded outdoor spaces where there is significant congregation.

Each week, 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. If you're on Instagram, use #dublinsketchers #urbansketchers
