Sketch the sketchers. Always fun. With sweet things to eat and new tools to experiment with. #urbansketchers #dublinsketchers #sketchingpeople

No, it's not a halo. Just the round mirrors at Eddie Doyle's, my hairdresser's. Had fun with tempera sticks, uni-pin fineliner, colour pencils and some brush pens. The quote “repent or perish", was what the woman who was talking to the homeless man had written on her high-vis jacket.

A gorgeous sunny afternoon on Grattan Bridge with Dublin Sketchers. Fun with tempera sticks, colour pencils and sailor fude. #urbansketchers

I painted a lot in Cill Rialaig. Here, trying to capture the ever-changing colour of the sea and the texture of the rocks.

Where do I start? Cill Rialaig, where I spent two weeks in February, painting and sketching.

What a privilege it was to be awarded this art residency. With 8 cottages/studios, places are limited. Cill Rialaig will haunt me, and my work, for a very long time.

Experimenting with the idea of the elemental forces - thinking about earth and air, or land and sky and how the two interact when a storm comes along. Expressed with dry brush, splashing, scratching and wet-in-wet watercolour.

At the Hugh Lane Gallery ... and I didn't see a single painting. But I did drop over to the @oc-gallery.bsky.social instead and enjoyed their Winter Show.

I experimented with tempera sticks, Neocolor and continuous line drawing, and had a great time.

I'm not sure how I'm going to manage to post here as well, as Instagram, but let's start with some sketches done on location with Dublin Sketchers. We were in Ranelagh. Here is what my afternoon looked like. . #urbansketchers #dublinsketchers #dublinsketchersdublin
