This past August, Margaret and I conducted our semi-annual class at Disney World in Orlando. GREAT place to draw and learn! One of the things everyone must draw is the Electric Light Parade, a beautiful Disney spectacle. I drew these two young girls while we were all waiting for the parade to begin on Main […]
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 →As I continued my walk past the winery through Montmartre (in my memory) I found and drew some steps. I remember walking uphill, the Fall leaves and how I wondered where those steps led to. ~Despina

View post →On my recent trip to Santo Domingo, in the Dominican Republic, I met many wonderful people. Some were from the Urban Sketchers community; others lived in the city. Papito, above, was one of the nicest. I was drawing in his botanica in the Mercado, and he brought me a seat. So sweet! Once I finished […]
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 →Another drawing from my little book of memories. I made this drawing thinking of a rainy day in Montmartre when I peered through the fence on the perimeter of the last winery in Paris. It rained more than it didn’t that fall, and I found I preferred it that way. ~Despina

View post →In honor of the end of summer, here is a drawing of some wildflowers I did last year in California’s Napa Valley. So ephemeral and so tough at the same time – lovely. posted by Veronica
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 →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 →So Eddie’s and Michele’s latest posts inspired me to post my own version of the famous cathedral. I made this drawing 10 summers ago. It’s part of a drawing book that I hold very dear to my heart. One that is never too far from my drawing board. I’ve moved 4 times since I filled […]

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
