View post →Another drawing/watercolor of two Japanese ladies inspired by the Japanese Pavilion at Epcot. They share one umbrella. I truly love the patterns and patterning that you find in Japan: water, nature, fabric, everything! So beautiful! Margaret Hurst

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 →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… […]
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 →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 →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 →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 →The other day I had the privilege of meeting some very lovely people when I joined fellow studio members Margaret, Veronica and Greg on the Highline in NYC. They were there meeting some friends from UrbanSketchers to do some ‘sketching’ at one of the cities prettiest locales. It was my first visit to the area […]

View post →Disney World…what a great place to go and to be and to draw! There is no other place like it. Everything is there for you to see and draw and enjoy. All four parks are incredible. Each has it’s own special gift to offer. And the best part is you don’t have to be a […]
View post →Times Square in July! Fellow studio 1482ers Despina, Veronica and I went to draw in Times Square on Wednesday. We were lucky. It wasn’t as hot as it might have been in July, but there was a huge amount of activity! People from all parts of the world were walking around taking pictures and watching […]

View post →This is one of a few designs I created for E&J Gallo. I decided it would be fun to use mixed media for it. So I drew the horse and added strands of fabric and used cotton fabric l that I had painted and scanned and layered  everything in together. It was a fun job! […]

View post →A few weeks ago I went to the Rooftop Gardens at the Metropolitan Museum of Art to take a look at the sculpture, Cloud City, by Tomas Saraceno. This is a very quick drawing, only had time to make one, so I’m going to go back! Â This is a beautiful and fun sculpture. You don’t […]
