I find that I have learned more about design and drawing from the practice of drawing from a live model. Here is a drawing where I thought about just how much really needs to be drawn to communicate what it is and how it feels. Greg Betza ©2014
View post →A page of notes from the Naturalist Workshop 2014 in Provincetown, MA that Dalvero Academy attended last weekend. Entanglement is a major issue for whales, turtles and other marine animals. Rope used to be made of hemp, now it is all made of plastic. It doesn’t break down, EVER, and so this plastic rope becomes […]

View post →Oliver’s starting to wonder what happens to his work when he goes to sleep at night, lol! It’s the perfect opportunity to tell him I think Jake visits from Neverland while he’s dreaming because he’s such an inspiration. Who know’s? The Easter Bunny might not be too far away 😉 – Michele

View post →While visiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art, I always make a point to go check out the Arms and Armor section. It’s very impressive. I had fun stylizing the designs on this armored horse. -Despina
View post →My little guy was creatively playing with his watercolors yesterday. If you’ve ever spent time painting with a toddler you can whip through a sketchbook pretty quickly. There we were surrounded by pages of wet “interpretive” fine works of art sprinkled throughout the entire kitchen waiting to dry for the balance of the day. Saving […]
View post →A pen and ink drawing of a model with my ink bottle and a glass of water to add to the ink… if I choose! Dip pen and ink are one of my favorite mediums to draw with. You never know what’s going to happen when you use it, so it’s always a fun surprise…serendipity! […]

View post →This drawing was made the same day as my last post. I was in a minimalist mood I guess. This is a drawing of a girl relaxing under a potted plant with camera in hand. If you’re lucky enough not to be snowed in this weekend, get out and take some pictures (or do […]
View post →There are all kinds of people who go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This is a very informal couple sitting in a very formal setting. This drawing was drawn at the end of the hall to the left of the museum entrance when it used to be a restaurant. I liked it then. You […]
