I’m spending a few weeks in Florida and have palm trees in my yard! It’s been raining for days but I was just able to pop out and make this quick pencil drawing in between the drops. Feels great to be back in Florida drawing. Greg Betza ©2020

The event known as “Drawnline” is an exciting opportunity for the students to draw from life as they sit, unfortunately, in quarantine. This week I was happily surprised to […]

Craft paper that is. I love drawing on colored paper which begs the question why don’t I do it more? Here is a piece from a zoom figure drawing session a few weeks (or maybe months) ago. Greg Betza ©2020

With Disney beginning to open up their theme parks, here is an older drawing made before the Dumbo ride was “re-imagined”. This meandering drawing I believe got cut short (see the people putting on ponchos and the umbrella) as the rain started to fall. You can also see the ink on my thumbnails starting to […]
