VAC offers sketching workshop

Load your backpack with pencils, sketchbooks, cameras and watercolors for Volcano Art Center’s Art Adventure: Field Sketching from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. on May 9 at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.

Spend the day near Halema‘uma‘u crater, taking in the plants and animals of the surrounding forest. This Hawaii Nei Art Adventure allows participants time to sketch what they see.

Learn about the plants and animals of the area with Three Mountain Alliance staff and get field-sketching tips from Hilo artist Gretchen Grove. A $10 Art Adventure fee goes toward Hawaii Nei related events.
