Art in the Garden Mixed Media
Halawa Xeriscape Garden Workshop

What

art in garden mixed mediaWelcome to Art in the Garden Series. This workshop will focus on the use of mixed media to create a beautiful artful painting. NO PAINTING EXPERIENCE IS REQUIRED! Adults and Keiki will use more than just paintbrushes to bring to life three butterflies on a large 11x14 canvas. Instructor Erika Brown provides a hands-on experience for using recyclables (ie plastic covers and bubble wrap) to bring color and texture to art. You will paint with acrylic paints and glue butterflies to the canvas adding depth and dimension. This fun and educational event is offered by the Board of Water Supply (BWS), Friends of Halawa Xeriscape Garden (FOHXG) and Erika Brown, member of FOHXG.
