I finally made it to a sketch night at the Society of Illustrators. Here is a drawing I made of the model who was acting out the role of Katniss Everdeen of the Hunger Games. See more of this series here on my blog.
View post →Last weekend I had the incredible opportunity to draw at the studio with Veronica and Margaret during a Dalvero workshop. It had been 2 years since the demand of “mommy duties” to two tiny tots came in-between me and the figure. To connect with my source in the way I was trained, in the way I know how […]

View post →Yesterday was the first of the year and we wanted to do something special with the kids to honor the day. So we took them to see the Holiday Train Show at the NYBG. It was as beautiful as ever and the kids were amazed when they saw “Thomas” whizzing by on the railroad […]
View post →I always love to try as many mixed media combinations that I can think of when I’m drawing from a model. Here is an ink, acrylic paint and crayon drawing. –Despina
View post →A year or so back I purchased this sweet ‘Little People’ Nativity Set in anticipation of teaching my children the wonder of Christmas. This year my older one is 3 and “wonder” is BIG on his plate…What’s this Mommy? What’s that Mommy?… over and over and OVER. So while answering his question of what the Angels purpose was […]
View post →I used to have a habit of being too early for appointments…so I would just make drawings from my car to pass the time. Here is one from 2003, NYC.
View post →There will never be enough time in the day. This is never more apparent than during the holiday season. I wish the days could just slow down to a crawl. I love everything about the lead up, and everything about the time after. Forget the day itself, that could last forever. So as I ponder […]
View post →Going through some sketch books and came across a drawing of pigeons in Venice, Italy. There really were a lot of pigeons/doves. Honest. It was crazy! I loved it! Margaret Hurst
View post →I found this spread in my sketchbook and thought it was interesting how on one page I decided to cover all traces of hair by drawing these fully “capped” men, and then on the next page I’m practically combing these guys with my pencil. Who knows what goes through your mind when your drawing! […]
View post →And the band plays on! … As the festivities begin for the holiday fare thought it’d be nice to share a drawing done on New Year’s day on Main Street USA in Disney. Have a magical, stress free weekend. – Michele

View post →I’m a Bob Dylan fan. I think he is a genius. AND I finally had the opportunity to see him last Saturday night at the Beacon Theatre in New York City! Not the easiest place to draw as it was very DARK, but between my memory of what he looks like and the little that […]
View post →Ok, so we have a few weeks left. And this week hasn’t been so bad. I was told this morning that the already cold (and snowy) New York landscape that we are in for this year is to be followed by the most brutal heat wave of a summer. Just when I let my eco-conscious […]
View post →Went to see Bob Dylan the other night. I was blown away by the theatre. It was so dark during the show it was hard to draw. So I made a couple of drawings during intermission. ~Despina Add Media

View post →My son loves anything space. He is simply obsessed. So when we went to the intrepid the other day we spent some time in the Hubble exhibit and I made a quick drawing of the model of the Hubble. We were very impressed by the Enterprise space shuttle and the russian soyez. It was great […]
View post →Last night in the city it rained and a cold rain it was. Some places even had snowflakes in their midst. Winter is here. There was something quite serene though when I stopped  to listen.  Above is a drawing I did in the Japanese pavilion at Epcot during a warm summer rain. Warm or cold, I’ll take it any […]
