Let’s get together!
If you’re one of us who likes the social aspect of painting with friends old and new, let’s get together. No matter where on the island you live or want to paint, give a shout! Send a note to info@hawaiiwatercolorsociety.org with your thoughts on getting a small group together to paint for a morning, afternoon, or evening. It could be a beach park, your lanai or garden, or a public place. You designate a day/date, time of day, and place; we will get the word out and have a painting meet up.
We’d love to find some new places to paint and spend time with fellow painters.
Speak up. Let’s paint together!
