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 deirdre moriarty on March 25, 2011 at 18:04: Hi Caroline i would to join you some Saturdays for Plein air painting. I live in Clonskeagh. Sometimes i paint on my own but it is a bit scary especially when you are away in 'Paint land'.

Comment by Maire Morrissey-Cummins on March 25, 2011 at 16:42: Hi, I live in Greystones, Co. Wicklow. I used to paint a lot from 1990's to 1996 when I lived in Holland. I did mainly watercolour at the time with a group of artists in North Holland and I loved it. I stopped painting because of work commitments. I have since returned to live in Ireland and stopped working. I would like to get back to painting, I would love to do acrylics but I am not sure where to start. I have time during the day but can't get motivated on my own. Maire

Comment by Caroline Carroll on March 21, 2011 at 17:31: Would love to do some outdoor painting on Saturdays, which suit me better, north or south dublin. Anyone any suggestions. Karen is doing paintout this sunday in Carlow, but it doesnt suit me.

Comment by Mary O' Carroll on January 13, 2011 at 22:14: I enjoyed the session at the Botanic Gdns. last Saturday John. There were some incredible views, both inside and outside! So much choice! I love trees in winter. Also it is not crowded at the moment. Hope we can make another visit there in the near future!

I'm undecided about whether or not that was a tyop!

Comment by john o'flynn on January 11, 2011 at 18:15: Hi all,

Four painters brave the elements last Sat, Jan 8th, to keep the flag of Plein Eire Dublin Group flying! It wasn't that bad- particularly as one could take the option of painting in the glass houses!

Next outing Sat Feb 5th, again within easy reach of a refuge - Phoenix Park Visitors Centre at Ashford Castle.

When I started this group I envisioned us going anywhere from Greystones to Skerries, not having to stay central to accomodate people coming from all directions; that accomodation will come about from rotating North, South (& West) locations month by month. I know the coast north from Dublin fairly well, but if anyone wants to take the baton and lead us south, feel free to do so - the only prerequisites are scenic location and a coffee shop!

Happy pinting!
