*********************************** Tuesday 3rd December ****************************************
Join our South Dublin branch for an evening with nature and wildlife artist David Daly.
“As a wildlife artist, birds and their environment have always inspired me. I work in the field sketching and painting directly from life and this has been the driving force throughout my working career. Sketching something that may disappear at any moment is an exciting challenge and all the elements of working directly from life help to create a more convincing image. During this process, ideas for more finished watercolour paintings often materialize. I like to spend as much time as possible sketching and drawing a subject to understand it and I try to capture the subtle features that give a bird its ‘individuality’. I usually sketch in A4 sketchbooks and have blocks or loose sheets of watercolour paper to hand when called for”
