Simply Kailua

Today we made a deliberate attempt to take the U in Urban Sketchers literally and chose an almost random location in Kailua to make the point that sketching does not need “iconic sights” — sketch-worthy views are everywhere. Kailua Public Library made for a wonderful base by providing parking, shade trees, and a welcome roof in case of the odd shower. Not to mention the library’s friendly security officer with a penchant for sketching who joined us for show-and-tell. Bookshelves, trees, cars, utility poles, flowers, storefronts and, of course, the library building itself all made appearances in our work.
