View post →Wax resist is pretty fun to do. I melted some candle wax and used a fine brush to paint the lines of my drawing. After the paint dried it felt good to scrape the wax away to reveal the image. That’s my little gingerbread boy playing in the snow. ~Despina

View post →Our Fundraiser for the victims of Hurricane Sandy in New York and New Jersey has begun. For my contribution, I’ve selected a drawing a made at the South Street Seaport in NYC. On the day I was drawing the famous Peking there were countless people working on it. I chose this image because of how […]

View post →The stories are heartwrenching. Today I thought of some drawings I made of people praying in church after 9/11, and made another as I woke up to more thoughts and prayers for the people affected by Hurricane Sandy. ~Despina

View post →I have witnessed this and another tiger scare countless children during my many visits to the American Museum of Natural History in NYC. Even from behind the glass they kind of sneak up on the little ones and cause some excitement! ~Despina

View post →This is the drawing I made thinking about the Luxemburg Gardens. My mother always talks about this place when the topic of Paris comes up because she spent the day there by herself while I was in school. So in a way, I drew HER favorite memory this time. ~Despina
View post →As I continued my walk past the winery through Montmartre (in my memory) I found and drew some steps. I remember walking uphill, the Fall leaves and how I wondered where those steps led to. ~Despina
View post →Another drawing from my little book of memories. I made this drawing thinking of a rainy day in Montmartre when I peered through the fence on the perimeter of the last winery in Paris. It rained more than it didn’t that fall, and I found I preferred it that way. ~Despina

View post →So Eddie’s and Michele’s latest posts inspired me to post my own version of the famous cathedral. I made this drawing 10 summers ago. It’s part of a drawing book that I hold very dear to my heart. One that is never too far from my drawing board. I’ve moved 4 times since I filled […]
View post →The other day I had the privilege of meeting some very lovely people when I joined fellow studio members Margaret, Veronica and Greg on the Highline in NYC. They were there meeting some friends from UrbanSketchers to do some ‘sketching’ at one of the cities prettiest locales. It was my first visit to the area […]
View post →I made some salt dough for James to “transform” as he likes to say. He made a boot with roses in it. The boot, he said, “…is very important because it is a good base for flowers”. Now it may seem like he’s just mispronouncing the word ‘vase’, but for James, it is very important […]
View post →I once did a series of illustrations about prayer. This is a drawing I made on location in NYC’s St Patrick’s Cathedral. -Despina
