Singing – erm – sketching in the rain!

Despite a somewhat rainy morning, a few of us (thank you Bill and Terri for braving the outdoors) gathered to sketch the Hawaiʻi Book and Music Festival today! From the Mayor’s Office of Culture and Arts building, we captured views of vendor tents and downtown scenery. Also, for our airplane enthusiasts, we were treated to a close look at commercial jets following their Kona-wind landing pattern. The location provided us with shelter and featured delightful architectural details to draw – what a perfect segue from last month’s activities with the American Institute of Architects!

As always, don’t forget to check out our sketches on Flickr and upload your own!

Make sure to stay tuned for our next event!

Reads, Rides, and Rhythms

The Hawaiʻi Book and Music Festival served up a veritable party yesterday, with public readings, delightful music, panel discussions, bouncing castles, and lots of good food. Oh, and books of course! Trees seemed to have been the theme of the day among sketchers, with many of us trying to find the right balance between large-scale appearance and detail. Or, as Keith put it: “isolate shapes”. After show-and-tell, the nearby book swap tent proved irresistible, adding a literary dessert to our sketching main course. An event we will make sure to attend again next year!

See you at our next event on May ​20​ at Archie Baker Park!​
