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 Julia Yakub on October 30, 2013 at 11:29: Sunday is good for me. Great location. I will try to be there.

Comment by Tom Scott on October 30, 2013 at 11:14: Hi all, The weather forecast for next Saturday (First Saturday November paint out) is for continuous rain and wind. Sunday's forecast is better.

Proposing the paint out is transferred to Sunday 3rd.

Venue Charlemont Bridge.

Meet in Barge Pub, between 11.00 am and 11.30 am. Pub opens at 11.00. There is painting at Charlemont , on the canal towards Leeson St Bridge and towards Rathmines/Portobello. Both are quite close.

John O'Flynn is not available so I will act as co-ordinator.

Comment by john o'flynn on October 3, 2013 at 14:12: Hi all,

A bit late again but it seemed a bit in-opportune making a posting while it was raining so heavily all week...as with Irish weather, one mood doesn't last too long and its clearing...maybe Sat will be good after all...ok if we return to Iveagh Gardens, meet in O'Briens Cafe. adj to Kennedy's art shop on Harcourt St, rounc 11 for 11.30 start?

Best- John O F

(ps: parking is free on Sat on streets marked yellow in map below - ie other side Baggot & Leeson St bridges)

Comment by Carole Ann Margaret Cullen on September 11, 2013 at 9:12: So sorry to miss last Saturday, and glad there was a good attendance in Enniskerry John. Thank you Inez re.comment on our Borrowers/ furry-unfriendlies...the plug-ins seem to work! Very much hope to see you all in Iveagh Gardens on October 5th.

Comment by Inez Nordell on September 10, 2013 at 15:43: Absolutely will John, I'll post some stuff when I get back.

All the best to you, Inez

Comment by john o'flynn on September 10, 2013 at 13:02: Inez-Keep us posted on Tunisia paint-outs! -Keep well - JOF

Comment by Inez Nordell on September 10, 2013 at 9:09: Lovely work John, well worth the foraging!

Central Dublin sounds great for next outing. Hoping my knees wil be up to it by then. I'm off to Tunisia for a week of rest and painting and to suss out some good locations for a plein air expedition next year! All the best for now...

Comment by john o'flynn on September 10, 2013 at 8:03: Very good turn out to "Schoolhouse For Art" in Enniskerry on Sat, 12 artists, even tho' the weather was un-promising - and remained so! Above scene from "deep behind enemy lines" (-you know where!) - where I was given up for as "lost in action" as afternoon progressed!

I'm going to suggest the Iveagh Gardens again for First-Sat-Oct paint-out, as I put a v positive spin on attendance at August's outing there (good to know you were all at AITO in Wexfrd!) and for Oct & Nov we should perhaps try and catch autumnal colours- Stephen's Green nearby too. If you have any other suggestions, now's the time to speak up! - JOF
