A Weatherproof, Windward Morning

Posted: December 2, 2017 | Author: | Filed under: USkO | Tags: , | Leave a comment

Our second event at Whole Foods, Kailua, again took advantage of the many options on offer at and around the store: sheltered sketching opportunities in- and outdoors, urban scenes, people, all kinds of merchandise, and holiday decoration for good measure. Since the weather cooperated, some adventurous sketchers also sampled views from the more extended neighborhood. Strengthened by cookies provided by Nancy, we shared artwork and observations before solemnly swearing to make sure not to miss our next, extraordinary, end-of-year event on December 16th at the historical Washington Place Mansion.

See you at our next event on December ​16!

Global Sketchwalk ​E​nds at Aloha Tower

Posted: November 11, 2017 | Author: | Filed under: USkO | Tags: , , | Leave a comment

As the Urban Sketchers chapter closest to the International Date Line, USk Oʻahu found itself in a privileged position this morning, as we staged the final leg of today’s worldwide sketchwalk in celebration of USk’s 10th anniversary. Although the weather looked less than inviting early in the day, the conditions downtown were actually quite pleasant – overcast and cool, with just the occasional drizzle. Our three-stop sketchwalk offered views of the aging Falls of Clyde (the last remaining iron-hulled four-masted ship), pub life, birds and fish, harbor activities, Aloha Tower, and of course the unavoidable backdrop of open ocean and swaying palm trees. All featured in our sketches. Taking advantage of the many sheltered spots in the area, we marked the occasion with a nice turnout (given the mildly worrisome conditions in the early morning) and lots of inspiring artwork. Happy Anniversary, USk!

An Exclusive Gathering

Today’s sketch event took us back to the Hawaiʻi Kai Towne Center. Although the little promenade on its south side offers inviting views across the marina, we were determined to stick to the promise we made at our previous event, which was to honor the “urban” in “urban sketchers” and document ordinary scenes and everyday life, rather than postcard-worthy vistas. We only succeeded partly. Somehow palm trees and sparkling bodies of water have a way of inserting themselves into almost every view around here!
