I know I am but summer to your heart , by Edna St. Vincent Millay (1922) I know I am but summer to your heart, And not the full four seasons of the year; And you must welcome from another part Such noble moods as are not mine, my dear. No gracious weight of golden fruits to […]

View post →In honor of the end of summer, here is a drawing of some wildflowers I did last year in California’s Napa Valley. So ephemeral and so tough at the same time – lovely. posted by Veronica
View post →Ronnie and Kika and I were talking about the drawings we have made of her, Kika, over these many years! Kika was modeling in class the other day in her Kika the Nun outfit. It is without a doubt my favorite piece of clothing to draw! And, of course, Kika is a faboulous model who […]

View post →Along with my fellow Studio 1482 members, Veronica, Margaret, and Despina, I too spent the day at the High Line with the French illustrator and Urban Sketcher, Lapin. Here is a drawing of him drawing. I was sitting on top of a bench slightly above him. Greg Betza ©2012
View post →A small drawing I had done on location while watching this adorable kid eagerly wait (with ohhhh…such anticipation!) for the Electric Light Parade to arrive down Main Street. Walt Disney once said, “We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we’re curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.”  Amen to […]

View post →Was feeling a little out of sorts the other day, so I went out to the park to draw and play with some graphics. I was cheered up by drawing my two favorite trees and also by the curious squirrel who came by to see what I was doing. Posted by Veronica.
View post →Okay, so the mystery guest from last week is Greg Betza, a fellow studio 1482 member, and an urban sketcher! I loved the line up: left to right, Lapin, Jason and Greg! Margaret Hurst
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 →Picture making 101…lines, marks, texture, emotion and wonder. Could there have been a more beautiful environment available for the Impressionists than the gardens of France? Drawing by Michele, medium: watercolor, pen and ink, water-soluble crayon Location:Â The Tuileries is Paris’ oldest and most lavish garden. Its royal roots stretch to the 16th century, when Marie de […]
View post →Drew this while having a late lunch downtown. Other than the tourists who probably have no idea who Jeff Koons is, not a soul was paying attention to the sculpture. Understandably so.—Dominick
View post →There is nothing like drawing on location. I can still remember how hot it was that day. How beautiful, sunny and excited I was just to be there. Eddie Peña
View post →Thought I’d follow the trend set by Despina and Margaret – – – here is my portrait of Lapin drawing Rosa Lee at the Highline in NYC: See more drawings of the day on Urban Sketchers HERE. Posted by Veronica Lawlor.
View post →On the heels of Despina’s post from yesterday, this is a drawing of Lapin on the High Line in New York city. Veronica Lawlor invited Urban Sketchers to join her and Lapin and his lovely wife and daughter to come draw. Ironically, when I looked out to draw all I could see was Lapin sitting […]
