Keep It Simple With Earth Day Sketches

Every time I’m in Kaimuki, I think why don’t I visit here more often. The community is bustling with quaint coffee shops, vintage stores, and trendy eateries. Today, we got to sketch one of those unique little boutiques on busy Waialae Ave.

Keep It Simple is a local retail and refill store. You refill your own containers with common household products therefore reducing the waste of thousands of one-time use plastic bottles in our landfill.

Today, they celebrated Earth Day with an Earth Day Festival. This was our chance as Urban Sketchers to sketch their storefront.

It was just the three of us sketchers but it gave us time to talk and enjoy each other’s company.

It’s fun to share our love of our community through our sketches. That’s the heart of urban sketching.

It was an honor to meet Keep It Simple store owners Hunter (left) and Jill (right). Next time you’re in Kaimuki, be sure to check out this unique shop.

Earth Day is Monday, April 22. As artists, how do you celebrate Earth Day?
