Plein Eire Dublin Paint-Outs

A 'Paint-Out' can be arranged by anyone. Even an impromptu session can be posted here if the weather is promising and you have an afternoon or a morning to spare. We try to meet regularly. Just decide on a time and a suitable venue and post a notice on the group page and 'Events'.

Time and location to be posted in advance both on "Plein Eire Dublin" and "Events" pages on this Plein Eire site.

RSVP on 'Events' for notice to be sent to you in the event of any change in plans or check this Plein Eire Dublin Group page on the morning of a paint-out .

Nominate a time and location with reasonable painting prospects.
Identify a local cafe or hostelry for artists to meet in before and after.
Indicate if there is parking available nearby, and if its free or metered.
Post the suggestion to 'Events'and copy and paste the link to the Comment Wall below on this page.

Members may also propose paint-outs at other times as suits them and ask for other members who may be available to join them.

Comment by Plein Eire Administrator on May 13, 2017 at 8:40: I hope James had some company yesterday. Good to see some activity here after a long hiatus. Don't miss today's harbour paint-out, open to all artists, (Saturday 13th May) with members of Dublin Painters and Sketchers. Perhaps a few can set up a rota to propose a weekly paint-out in Dublin? There will also be a painting demonstration on ‘marine painting’ on Saturday 20th May. In addition, an artist at work on a painting, daily during the exhibition, painting critique sessions for amateur artists and exhibition guided tours. Whyte’s will be offering a painting valuation session during the club exhibition.

Comment by Norah Blount on February 23, 2016 at 17:53: I won't get out for the next month as we have our son coming home from Australia Patsy but I am sure either pebv or dublin group will post an event here. I find it always better to check the events page around wed or thursday.

Comment by Patsy Cullen on February 23, 2016 at 11:09: Please let me know where the next event will be?

Comment by Patsy Cullen on February 23, 2016 at 11:06: I will look forward to going on the paint outs on Saturdays if I am free. Thanks Valerie.

Comment by Norah Blount on February 18, 2016 at 18:52: Imma is a great location as we met there a few years ago, any preferences for which day ? Probably too early yet to get a decent weather forecast for next week

Comment by Valerie Syms Martin on February 17, 2016 at 9:52: This Saturday we are going to the National Gallery, meeting in the cafe at 11.00am. Architecture, sculptures and people watching. Dry media only. Please come.

Comment by Julian Reynolds on February 17, 2016 at 9:46: When are you proposing?

Comment by Valerie Syms Martin on February 17, 2016 at 9:41: The availability of nearby parking is an absolute must for me.

What about the Royal Hospital Kilmainham IMMA? There's bound to be something on, there's loads of parking, a cafe, and if weather permits we can paint in the courtyard or the garden. If the weather defeats us we can draw down in the arched basement area.

Comment by Norah Blount on February 17, 2016 at 9:32: The Jameson Distillery in Smithfield looks like an option, not sure if there are indoor opportunities to sketch but I will check it out
