View post →Recently, I helped my two year son paint a toy model boat. We used one brush for all the colors, so before dipping into a new color I would help him pat the brush dry on the paper I had laid out to protect the table. We both liked all the markings and started to […]

View post →I love raking the leaves. I love the sound it makes, I love the exercise and I love the leaves. I brought a few in to the house to draw and to admire. Here’s one. I liked the spots. -Despina

So I’m revisiting the drawings I made last August during the week-long drawing workshop at the Dalvero Academy. Besides having a great time, I delved a little into a world that I’ve always loved but seldom experiment with–Fashion.

View post →Joe Ades, known as the “Gentleman Peeler” (because of his fine suits and British accent I presume) was a fixture in Union Square Greenmarket where he would sell $5 carrot/potato peelers. Our meeting was a funny one. I sat in front and drew him as he asked me nicely (then not so nicely) to get […]

View post →I recently spent an afternoon at Turtle Back Zoo with my family. This NJ zoo has been there since 1963 and my parents actually used to take me there when I was a child. It was quite a trip for me to be taking my son there now! Here is a drawing I made of […]
