As Far As You Can Go - Schull, on the West Cork Peninsula
[By Róisín Curé in Schull, West Cork] If you really want to get away from it all, you just go to Ireland and keep driving south. Eventually you have to stop when you get to the tip of the peninsula that sticks out into the Atlantic Ocean, in the part of Ireland called West Cork. It's wild and untamed and very remote indeed and many have fallen for its other-worldly charms. You are as likely to find a German or English accent as a lilting Cork one...A couple of weeks ago I spent a few days in the fishing village of Schull, in the heart of West Cork, while my daughter Olivia was taking part in a week of 420 dinghy training which she sails with her great friend Isabella. I wasn't exactly complaining, as I knew I would be more or less free to sketch that beautiful village during the day. Of course I didn't really expect the weather to be as inclement as it was, but I made the most of it. There were loads of pretty things to sketch, and with the aid of a flimsy umbrella I weathered the hail storms - like when I sketched the fishing nets and lobster pots on the jetty in the sketch above.
I made a flick-through of the sketches and put it up on YouTube. You can see the sketches here.
For the millionth time, I felt so grateful to be an urban sketcher: I met lots of locals sketching, I spent time in beautiful places, I really felt the shapes and colours of the pebbles on the beach mindfully and of course I have a lovely sketchbook of memories to remind me of how lovely Schull is, and of a special moment in my youngest's life.
