Dublin sketchers recently had their second annual exhibition which happened at Sol Gallery on Dawson street and I had two of my drawings on display as part of this exhibition. Some of the other sketchers sold their work which is great news. The first sketch was the picture above which was of the animals on display at the Natural History Museum. The two on the left came from previous sketches while the ones on the right were from photos I took. I think that most people seemed to be like the monkey the most.

The second picture was from a photo that I took at Dun Laoghaire Festival of world cultures 2010. The girl was a samba dancer from Brazil. 

It was great to have my work on display in a real gallery and hopefully I can exhibit again next year with a bit more work and hopefully they will be a better quality although I did put a lot of effort into these drawings.

This is a sketch of a zebra at the Natural History Museum.


These three pictures are from the Viking Festival in Wood Quay. I want to still add some colour. The drawings I've done over the last few years have mostly been either doodles or ideas and sketches related to a jewellery course that I did but I have started going out with the Dublin sketchers group so I want to start drawing more. Up to now I've mostly done pencil sketches but I want to start using other media such as pastel, paint etc.
