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 →I made some salt dough for James to “transform” as he likes to say. He made a boot with roses in it. The boot, he said, “…is very important because it is a good base for flowers”. Now it may seem like he’s just mispronouncing the word ‘vase’, but for James, it is very important […]

View post →As Margaret mentioned in last week’s post, she, Despina and I spent an afternoon together recently, doing some drawings in Times Square. The place was loaded with tourists, all craning their necks and popping their heads around to see all the hoopla that is the crossroads of the busiest city in America. Political protests, naked […]
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 →Another drawing from Parque Colon, Santo Domingo. This of a Dominican woman and her daughter. The people in Santo Domingo were definitely the best part of the city, which says a lot because the Colonial Zone felt architecturally like Seville, one of my favorite cities! Please visit my blog for more drawings of the people […]
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 →As promised, a drawing of what I actually saw in Aruba. My favorite sight of all was my boy playing in the sand. He used bits of coral for knights, a shell for a princess, and a dried up coconut for a dragon in the most rudimentary, lovely sand castle those two little hands could […]
View post →I was fortunate to spend last week in the beautiful, windy, island of Aruba. Here is a boat that sat on the horizon for an entire day. -Greg Betza ©2012
View post →Just returned from the 3rd Annual Urban Sketchers Symposium, held in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. What a lovely event! And a special thanks to Orling Dominguez for arranging such a wonderful experience in her country. : ) The drawing above is of Calle Conde, about two blocks from our hotel. I will be posting more […]
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 →Is that all? Is that all you think you’ll see in Aruba? Yes. In fact, that’s all I need to see. The horizon line. Anything more will be icing on a most lovely cake of sweet sweet relaxation!! –That’s the conversation I had with myself after I made this simple simple drawing before leaving for […]
