The Bay of Amoudi is a small fishing port located in the town of Oia on the island of Santorini. During my trip there, this was one of the only times I was not on top of the mountains, but looking up at them. drawing by Greg Betza
View post →Here is another drawing from my trip to Greece. We visited the island (or archipelago) of Santorini (Thira) which was unlike any place I had ever seen. Upon pulling into the port you can’t believe what you are looking at. The small whitewashed homes that line the tops of the island look like pieces of […]
View post →I’ve just returned from an amazing trip to Greece. My family and I visited Crete, Santorini and Athens and we were fortunate to have ample time to create some art. This painting is of the river Xydas in the village of Kalyves on the island of Crete. The three boats have become somewhat of a […]
View post →Another drawing from a few years back when I spent the better part of a long summer reportage-ing all around New York. Often I feel overwhelmed at Rockefeller Center, maybe because there is so much to look at, great art, architecture, tons of people, I don’t know, but on this day I was able to […]
View post →This drawing is about 10 years old and it’s still one of my favorites. This is an art deco inspired (obviously) drawing of a 1939/40 Cadillac LaSalle. A beautiful car, I hope I did it justice! drawing by Greg Betza
View post →This drawing was done a little over a month ago down at the south street seaport in NYC. Now I’ve been there a million times and drawn the boats at least that many times, so on this day I looked for something different. I found this great mess of bikes. There truly is always something […]
View post →I thought I’d follow-up last weeks post with another from my time down at Disney. This drawing is from the Chinese Pavilion at EPCOT. I’m sure it’s nothing like the real thing, but it does offer a beautiful glimpse into the rich history of the culture.
View post →Looking through some drawings I came across this one from Main Street USA (at the Magic Kingdom). I’ve spent many summers drawing down in Walt Disney World. And as soon as the weather turns warm, my thoughts always seem to go there. For many reasons, it is the most wonderful place I’ve ever been, and […]
View post →I thought I’d follow up my last post with another drawing from my reportage of Times Square. I will be posting the rest of the drawings on my blog, so check them out if you have a chance. post by Greg Betza
View post →Despite weather calling for severe thunderstorms, my family and I ‘braved’ the conditions and set out for traffic-free Times Square. Saturday was an incredibly beautiful day, and the free tables and chairs were an added luxury. I’ve always loved drawing Times Sq. It’s a bit crazy, but there are so many points of interest that […]
View post →As the week begins, millions of people hit the roads and rails heading to work. This is a drawing I did a few years ago standing in front of Grand Central Terminal on 42nd St. amongst commuters in NYC.
View post →Here is a drawing by Greg Betza of his son…who turned 1 this week! He’s just about to grow out of that chair…
View post →In honor of drawing day 2009 (and Studio 1482’s love of drawing) we are pleased to launch one drawing a day dot com. ODAD is just that, 1 new drawing each day from the members of Studio 1482. Our first post is a reportage drawing of General George Washington in Union Square, New York, by illustrator Greg Betza.
