Find your passion again and learn tricks that can pull you out of any drawing funk.

Artist Rose Adare offers the “Inspired Figure Drawing” workshop from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday (Nov. 17) at Volcano Art Center’s Ni‘aulani Campus in Volcano Village.

A variety of drawing techniques will be covered, including “The Tornado” and “Pop &Lock Draw,” to give students fresh ways to view drawing. Learn how different music influences drawings and how stance and movement also can play a role.

This is an “out-of-the-box” way of drawing a model and connecting with materials, the model and creativity.

Cost is $65, or $60 for VAC members, plus a $10 model fee. Students are asked to bring a pen, notebook, drawing materials such as charcoal, pencil, erasers, and a large pad of paper at least 11-by-14 inches big.

Adare is a graduate of the San Francisco Academy of Art University and trained under the esteemed living master David Hardy. She began her fine art career at The Muse Studio in Berkeley, Calif.

Struck by a municipal train in 2005, Adare spent the following years in physical rehabilitation and retaught herself how to paint, returning to the art scene in 2009.

To register for the drawing workshop, call VAC at 967-8222 or visit www.volcanoartcenter.org.

The Ni‘aulani Campus is located at 19-4074 Old Volcano Road in Volcano Village.
