Join us for a three-week watercolor workshop. Each consecutive Saturday focuses on garden scenes and introduces basic techniques. Surrounded by native Hawaiian & canoe plants, you’ll explore your creativity! Instructor & artist Shaowei Liu is a classically trained illustrator with BFA and MFA degrees from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. She worked in the video game industry for 23 years as a 3D artist and taught digital art and classic illustration at AAU part-time for 12 years. Formerly a Lahaina resident, she relocated to Wailuku after the fire. Shaowei’s goal for this workshop is to spread the joy of art and appreciation for our nature.
