# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Local Lines: A Sketchbook Project
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 11 Dec, 2025 at 06:00 pm – Thu, 11 Dec, 2025 at 07:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Join us for an evening of sketching, community, and inspiration centered around themes found in the exhibition Homecoming: Walter Osborne’s Portraits of Dublin, 1880–1900.

This month’s session will focus on drawing portraits, and will be led by local artist Laurie Renee Moore. Come ready to share a sketch (sketches should be no larger than 9” x 12”) of your own, created in response to this prompt:

Make your best effort to capture the likeness of your own face, with a twist!

Print a photo of yourself, but turn it upside down when you use it as your reference photo. So often we draw what we expect to see, instead of drawing what we actually see (more on that later). This simple trick can help you see and replicate abstract forms so that you end up drawing the eye/nose instead of trying to draw a generic eye or a nose.

Faces are a challenge, so start with the most familiar face on the planet to you… yours! Don’t be shy about wherever you are in your artistic growth. We all have to start somewhere, so just give it your best effort. I am confident you will pick up something that will make your next effort even better.

During the program, we’ll share sketches, discuss artistic choices and techniques, find inspiration in each other’s and Osborne’s work, and take on a new sketching challenge inspired by this month’s theme. Local Lines is open to artists aged 15 and up.

This program is part of The Big Draw, the world's largest celebration of drawing that takes place across the globe every year during October. It is for anyone who loves to draw, as well as those who think they can't. The festival promotes drawing as a universal language that has the power to change lives and unite people of any age, background, race, or religion from around the globe
