Number two in the Met People series. A lady with some very high, sharp boots getting something to eat in the old dining area. Magaret Hurst
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 […]
View post →A drawing with pen and ink and watercolour of the bow of the Intrepid at the entrance to The Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum. A very cool NYC museum to visit! Margaret Hurst
View post →I never get tired of looking at the Guggenheim Museum. What a beautiful building. It was a bit cold when I drew this, but sunny! Polar vortex, polar schmortex. posted by Veronica

View post →Every so often there’s a drawing that pushes outside of it’s boundary. You can start off with intentions of a vertical piece and the conversation suddenly begins to stretch outside of the box. This applies as much to life as it does an exercise in drawing. Above are two drawings that married each other simply […]
View post →I illustrated a few ANANSI Stories a while back. Â An example of one of the illustrations is in the One Watercolor A Day book. For the title of the book I made some watercolor letters. It seemed to fit in well with the rest of the stories and the illustrations and I enjoy making patterns. […]
View post →Wishing you and yours a very Happy Holiday season! Cheers! – Veronica Lawlor —————————————————————————————————– The first reviews of One Watercolor A Day are in! Watercolor is a medium with a reputation for being difficult to learn and master. “One Watercolor A Day” dispels that in its first few pages. If you;e just starting out, […]
View post →Seriously, when did December arrive? And how is it Thursday already? For those those taking part in the coming holy day, I hope you are all finding a little peace as you scurry about. For those of you just waiting for it to pass, thank you for bearing with us crazy folk for a little […]
View post →I took a quick trip down to Philadelphia on Tuesday to see one of my favorite performers (Destroyer) do a solo set. I watched from the balcony and was amazed by how many lights, wires, cables, disco ball!, etc. were hanging from the ceiling in this tiny little place. Greg Betza ©2013
View post →The statue of Perseus at The Metropolitan Museum of Art is no longer on view, but I made a pretty lengthy series of drawings of people as they passed him by. I always found it very amusing to watch people in the context of Perseus; how they reacted, or didn’t react, to him […]
View post →Back in 2003 I was really working hard at learning to draw people, crowds, space, etc. Here is a study with all of those in mind. Greg Betza ©2013
View post →A hand of Rodin, at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. I would give anything to have watched Rodin draw and sculpt. Every drawing, every sculpture feels alive and ready to walk away, or sit, or make love, or roll up into a ball, or crawl. It doesn’t matter. It’s alive, and I feel the energy. […]

View post →On our, Dalvero Academy’s, latest trip to Mystic Seaport I made a drawing of the ends of the three masts that will be placed on the Charles W Morgan within the next month or two. One of the masts already was put in place. Looking forward to the other two!I drew this with a piece […]
View post →Here are 2 women I saw on the street. I enjoy trying to capture a person in a simple ink wash. It forces you to focus on the shape and body language, not the details. Greg Betza ©2013
View post →I was at the Met a few days ago and so I thought I would draw a hand and foot from Rodin’s statues. I love his drawing and his sculpture. They feel real to me. Margaret Hurst
View post →I too took part in the Workbook Creative Carnival last Thursday (see Dominick’s post from yesterday) in Chicago. Dominick and I headed out for the windy city by car and did as much drawing as we could along the way. Here is a drawing of the Trump International Hotel and other buildings along Michigan Avenue.
