Waimea artist Kathy Long leads a basic drawing class for adults Sept. 1 at Volcano Art Center’s Niaulani Campus in Volcano Village.
Known for her portraiture work in pastel and graphite, Long’s drawings of the people and culture of Hawaii have been recognized multiple times by the Hawaii State Foundation on Culture and the Arts, and featured on the PBS Hawaii Spectrum program. Her work can be found in nearly 30 galleries throughout the state.
Long has been commissioned by the Hawaii Visitors and Convention Bureau, Hawaiian Airlines and the Moku O Keawe International Festival to help shape the cultural identity of Hawaii and promote such notable events as the Merrie Monarch Hula Festival. She has opened over 50 one-woman exhibitions and has works displayed in public and major private collections around the world.
Two sessions of Drawing Basics with Kathy Long are planned. The morning session runs from 10 a.m. to noon and the afternoon session from 1 to 3 p.m. Tuition is $60 or $54 for VAC members, which includes supplies and a keepsake print from the artist.
Class size is limited, and advance registration is required.
