Sketchbook Friday : Drawing en Plein Air & Coastlines

Description

May 1st – June 5th | Fridays | 10:30am – 1:00pm

A five-week outdoor drawing course exploring some of North Dublin’s most beautiful coastal locations.

This course is about slowing down, observing with intention, and learning how to capture a place through drawing. Working on location each week, you’ll build confidence in sketching on the spot, responding to changing light, and developing your own visual language through your sketchbook.

The final session brings everything together in the studio, where you’ll work from your sketches and references to develop your ideas further.

What to Expect

• Drawing on location across a variety of coastal settings
• Learning how to observe, simplify, and respond to what you see
• Building a personal sketchbook as a visual record
• Developing your work further in a final studio session
