I’m sad to see summer go, but I really enjoyed the time and did a few drawings I’m really happy with. What more can I ask for. © Greg Betza 2012

View post →Last weeks Japanese Lady was painted/drawn and then filtered. This week’s three ladies are drawn, pen and ink, and definitely not filtered! These ladies were also inspired by the Japanese Pavilion at Epcot! Really love that pavilion! Margaret Hurst

View post →Funny that last weeks post was titled “Till we meet again”. For those of you that saw the post, it was a simple reflection on the season change. As I was beginning to put together this morning’s post the title seemed even more appropriate than it did then. There are certain dates in ones life […]
View post →When at Epcot drawing one day I went to Japan, the pavilion, not the real deal! I love that pavilion. Some Japanese ladies came out into the open area in front in their kimonos and with their beautiful hairdos and makeup. This is one of those ladies. She has been put through a few filters… […]

Enjoying the last few warm days left drawing at the park as kids enjoy their last weekend of freedom for the year. Eddie Peña
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 →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 →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 […]

View post →Above is a collage I did  2 summers ago on the spot and completed in my hotel room after a visit to the Western Wall, (otherwise known as “The Wailing Wall“) in the Old City of Jerusalem. The experience was a lifetime dream realized and truly beyond words. p.s. Happy Birthday Mom! Art by Michele Medium: […]
