Blog, Daily Life, Lessons, Teaching and Courses, Zoom Art CoursesBy Róisín CuréFebruary 16, 2023Leave a comment

I want to tell you a story about colour. A colourful story, if you will. When I first started sketching, I was a bit “AI” about it, a bit of a computer. My process was as follows: 1. Look at the scene. 2. Record the shapes you see with a pen. 3. Now colour them…

New Year, New You…In Body and Soul

Blog, Daily LifeBy Róisín CuréJanuary 5, 2023Leave a comment

Whatever your resolution is, it’s bound to be ambitious, good for you and something you feel you didn’t do enough of in 2022. For me, that’s keeping fit and making my body look better. In September of 2022 I started seeing a personal trainer in a gym – well five of them – and have…

An Urban Sketching Workshop, 19th-21st August 2022

Blog, Daily Life, Teaching and CoursesBy Róisín CuréSeptember 12, 2022Leave a comment

Last January I announced two urban sketching workshops for the month of August. Each would last two and a half days and would take place in Galway City. The last one I had run was late in 2019, which is a big gap – this one would be just short of three years later. Since…

A Bit Of An Owl Chat, And Art In Gardens – 6th-10th June

Blog, Daily LifeBy Róisín CuréJune 12, 2022Leave a comment

Monday 6th June It’s a Bank Holiday in Ireland and there’s a talk on in the Burren Nature Sanctuary. A guy is coming to talk about barn owls. I ask my family if they would like to come along. “We’re going to meet Erin the barn owl,” I say. My son Paddy (20) immediately agrees,…

Summer Days of Sketching: 25th May – 4th June

Blog, Daily LifeBy Róisín CuréJune 6, 2022Leave a comment

Wednesday 25th June I am a believer in “drawing in the cracks” and so I sketch the view from the post office in my village, while I wait for the kids (my girl Liv and her classmate and friend Mattie, who I bring home twice a week) to arrive off the school bus. I can’t…

Monday 9th May I want to paint the roses my lovely family bought to welcome me home from hospital, and I finally get my chance late on Monday evening. I can’t get my view right – on the table they’re too high to see the blossoms, and on the chair they are so low they…
