Reviews of 'An Urban Sketcher's Galway'

If you love Galway you will love this
Beautifully produced, substantial hardback book, full of gorgeous Galway scenes, takes me right back there. Visited frequently for many years, and remember the pubs from 40 years ago. Vibrant sketches of vibrant scenes. Though many of the cafes and restaurants are new to me. Very well written too, an engaging insight into some of the artist's history and influences. Got her next book on sketching people on order. (Roisin is an excellent teacher too, I am one of her happy students).

    Beautiful book

    Best urban sketching book - ticks all the boxes!
    Definitely, the BEST visual diary & artist's sketchbook published by an urban sketcher that I've seen. Rich in the type of detail that only a local artist can convey, the book is full of charming and skillful sketches. Each page is a delight - the color and line - and Roisin's poetic and humourous point of view. I bought it for the art - as both a reference and source for inspiration - and got more than my money's worth - as Roisin's writing is hilarious, poetic and insightful.

    Gorgeous book
    This book is great! both pictures and stories are so full of life and details and wit that you really feel like you are in Galway sitting next to Roìsìn and listening to street musicians or watching seagulls. So much talent! Highly recommended

    Not just good art, but good information for the traveler
    We visited a friend in Ireland, and I used this book as a travelogue to become oriented to the western coast. Aside from being artistically beautiful, there is much practical information that turned out to be very useful. This book is far more than just a book on sketching, though the illustrations are superb. It's one of the few travel books that takes you there in as real a sense as can be done by a book or documentary.

    Review of 'An Urban Sketcher's Galway'

    A fabulous book to own or to gift.
    I love this urban sketcher book by Roisin Cure. I bought one for myself and four more for some of my friends living abroad. It is a beautifully produced hardcover book with gorgeous detailed sketches of Galway city ( where i live!) and text full of useful, fun and interesting stories about Galway. You really feel like you are walking through the city when reading this book or just analyzing the many beautiful ink sketches and vibrant watercolour scenes Roisin has captured. A lovely book to have in any home whether interested in sketching or not. My daughter and i try to sketch the people or seagulls that are drawn in it and my Costa Rican friend has it sitting pretty on her coffee table , dreaming about visiting Galway city someday!. A truly lovely book to own.

    Nature…In All Its Glory

    My bedroom has been a mess of late. When I say “of late” I mean for the last ten or fifteen years. In that time, my amazing daughter Liv has grown to be a formidable young woman: she recently turned seventeen. She doesn’t take any prisoners, and she informed me recently that we were going…

    Summertime…And The Sketching Is Soothing

    Saturday 15th August I’m restless. I want to make the most of my free Saturday. It’s warm, but not so sunny. I want to go into town to sketch the Potter’s Market, which will be in Galway City for just one weekend. I hop in the car with my son Paddy (18) but have not…

    About Roisin

    Hello! I’m Róisín Curé, from Galway, on the west coast of Ireland. Back in 2012 I discovered urban sketching, and since then a whirlwind of colour and line has swept through my life. I am so grateful for the happy accident that led me to stumble on urban sketching, and my life is infinitely richer as a result.

    Now, as well as organising urban sketching workshops within Europe, I am a freelance urban sketcher. I currently carry out all kinds of sketching assignments, as varied as you can imagine, from festivals and weddings to all manner of businesses. I also teach children all about watercolour and drawing ( I have a quiverful of mini-urban sketchers ready and willing to pin down their lives in art!) and I run my local urban sketching chapter, Urban Sketchers Galway, with pride. We meet about once a fortnight, sometimes more, and we really enjoy the simple act of sketching together around the city.

    I teach all kinds of topics, and I love to sketch all kinds of subjects. Above all I am passionate about others taking up their sketchbooks and joining in, in this absorbing and wonderfully satisfying activity.
