One of many thumbnails drawn for Shakespeare’s, Midsummer’s Night Dream, of Titania. I believe this particular work of Shakespeare is my favorite. I love the characters, the story , the fantasy and all the possibilities that lay inside this beautiful work of literature/art. How many dreams have I had that feel as real as this play? […]

View post →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 →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 →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 →A small drawing I had done on location while watching this adorable kid eagerly wait (with ohhhh…such anticipation!) for the Electric Light Parade to arrive down Main Street. Walt Disney once said, “We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we’re curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.”  Amen to […]

View post →Thought I’d follow the trend set by Despina and Margaret – – – here is my portrait of Lapin drawing Rosa Lee at the Highline in NYC: See more drawings of the day on Urban Sketchers HERE. Posted by Veronica Lawlor.
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.
