Dublin
Dublin offers endless inspiration for artists with its vibrant mix of historic charm and urban energy.
The grand architecture of Trinity College, the intricate facades of Georgian townhouses, and the iconic Ha’penny Bridge over the River Liffey provide captivating subjects for sketching.
The bustling streets of Temple Bar are alive with musicians, performers, and colorful storefronts perfect for capturing dynamic urban scenes.
For quieter moments, serene spots like St. Stephen’s Green or the peaceful courtyards of Dublin Castle offer tranquil settings to draw. With its ever-changing light and lively atmosphere, Dublin is a sketcher’s paradise.

Clifden

(Irish: Q An Clochan, meaning "stepping stones") is a town on the coast of County Galway.
Being Connemara's largest town, it is often referred to as "the Capital of Connemara".
Clifden is one of the mostpicturesque towns in Ireland with a stunning location at the foot of the Twelve Pins Mountains, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean in the heart of the beautiful Connemara region.
It is the largest town in Connemara, and one ofthe most precious jewels in Ireland's scenic crown.
Clifden is a vibrant thriving cosmopolitan town, and isundoubtedly the key to exploring the stunningly wonderful terrain of Connemara. Absolutely perfect for sketching I’d say.
