A quick drawing of a few lotus flowers at  the China Pavilion at Epcot. The petals of the lotus flower symbolize the expansion of the soul. I like that. Maybe its the way the lotus flower stands so beautifully tall and sensitive in the water. I don’t really know what the attraction is for me, […]
View post →While at the Japanese Pavilion at Epcot I was looking into the coy pond and noticed this one little plant growing out of a huge rock in the pond. It was so sweet standing there all by itself. Took a few minutes to draw it. Â Japan at Epcot is one of my favorite pavilions. It […]

View post →So many wonderful memories of my recent trip to Europe, culminating in a week in Barcelona to present a workshop at the annual Urban Sketchers Symposium. The drawing above is of Sagrada Familia, Gaudi’s dream, which the Catalan people will not let die. The amount of construction work going on there is astounding, and it’s […]

View post →A Midsummer’s Night Dream. My favorite Shakespeare play. I was asked by an editor what my favorite piece of literature/story would be to illustrate…not difficult to answer! Margaret Hurst
View post →A drawing/watercolor I made for a book I wanted to illustrate, Anansi Stories. The Anansi myth is from Africa. Basically Anansi is a trouble maker. He is mainly represented as a spider, but I thought it might be fun to make him human. In this picture/drawing Anansi is collecting up all the common sense in […]
View post →Construction workers doing their thing. These drawings were made a while back in New York city on the Upper East Side. It was great drawing at a construction site. There was so much going on and so much body language to go along with it! Fun! Margaret Hurst

View post →I made this drawing from a window in my old apartment in Hoboken, NJ. Windows provide unusual and sometimes unreachable vantage points which will make your drawing unique. And remember if it’s too hot (or cold) to go outside, there’s always the window! Greg Betza ©2013

View post →Yes, another model drawing, but not a another duck! Ridge is the model for this particular drawing. He is a great model; wonderful to draw. He’s over six feet tall, works out and has great muscle tone and great proportions, all making him a wonderful model to create some great picture making from! Our last […]
View post →A funky little hat with flowers on it! Kika, our model, placed the colorful flowers on top of this hat. I can’t remember if it is a cat or a cow hat. Anyway, it was terrific to draw the hat and design the black watercolor marks and get into the wild colors of the added […]
