ITINERARY:

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
•
Sketching Galway
Our sketching in Galway offers a feast of colour and character, from the lively shopfronts to the reflections along the River Claddagh and the amazing light one Galway Bay.
•
Sketching Clifden Connemara, Galway
Clifden is one of the most picturesque 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 of the most precious jewels in Ireland's scenic crown.
It’s a vibrant thriving cosmopolitan town, and is undoubtedly the key to exploring the stunningly wonderful terrain of Connemara. Absolutely perfect for sketching I’d say.
