Return to Re-use
Posted: February 15, 2020 Filed under: USkO | Tags: Re-use Hawaii Leave a commentWe knew after our first event at Re-use Hawaiʻi that we would be back, and today was the day – finally! The choice of sketch subjects related to construction and remodeling was supplemented by an adorable cat that received commensurate attention. Locals, as well as visiting fellow sketchers from Portland, scattered across the many aisles and pallets to find their favorite target. The haul was diverse again: sinks, light fixtures, tools, and various views of the warehouse and the yard were presented at show-and-tell which was held in the comfortable store lobby.
Thank you, Re-use Hawaiʻi, for hosting us again – it goes without saying that we will be back!
As always, don’t forget to check out our sketches on Flickr and upload your own!
Stay tuned for details about our next event!
Reminder: Sketch Event Tomorrow!

At Whole Foods on a Rainy Day
Posted: January 12, 2020 Filed under: USkO | Tags: grocery store, Whole Foods 1 CommentWe finally made it back to Whole Foods! The location was perfect for us on this rainy day: sweeping views of a large grocery store and surrounding urban life, ample parking, and food to recover after a long sketch. At show-and-tell, we talked about vanishing points, digital art tips and tech, ambidextrous sketching, capturing the wet and splashy outdoors, and drawing people (always tricky – Terri is charging ahead, learning from instructional videos during bus commutes!). Also, Joel stunned us with a discreet oil painting setup outfitted with jars, a pallet knife, and a glass tray for mixing. It sounds like he’s in the market for a small, robust easel too. We are looking forward to seeing how the setup develops!
And, as mentioned this morning, Harald thanks everyone for the well wishes and looks forward to joining in on the fun next time!
Happy new year everyone!

Sketcher Down
Posted: January 9, 2020 Filed under: USkO | Tags: hospital 5 CommentsWe hope that you all had a happy and healthy start to the new year. Unfortunately, one of us did not. Tuesday, Harald was thrown over the handlebars of his bicycle when the front wheel hit a pothole on Manoa Road. Thank you to the many people (tourists and locals alike) who stopped to help him, providing first aid, ice, shade, and plenty of aloha!
As you might expect, I sketched almost every step of his treatment in Queen’s Medical Center’s ER – once I had snagged pen and paper from the nurse’s station. :)
Harald is recovering at home now but will need a little time before he can sketch again. (He keeps making noises though about joining us on Sunday anyway!)
Stay safe and we look forward to seeing you at Whole Foods this Sunday!
Next Event!
