I made this drawing last night at the Destroyer show at Webster Hall in New York City. I recently bought some new markers and wanted to try them out…well basically they’re just like any other markers. Oh well. Greg Betza ©2015

View post →With the renovation of St. Patrick’s cathedral complete (or close to complete) and the Pope being in town I was reminded of a few drawings I made inside the cathedral. Here is a page of studies from inside the Neo-gothic cathedral. Greg Betza ©2015
View post →It rained much of my time in London, poured many days. So when the sky’s broke and the sun was shining I found myself at the end of the Millennium Bridge with St. Paul’s Cathedral in the background. Didn’t get as many drawings done as I would have liked, but I certainly laid the plans […]

View post →As my older son closed off his first year at a new school in June we thought it would be an interesting summer if we set up a treasure hunt that would last throughout their vacation. The mission was to ride every carousel we could find in the tri-state area (including Nassau and Suffolk). To simply […]
View post →Two lovely ladies waiting in line with one of their little girls, on a hot summer’s day, to see an enchanted princess at Disney World’s Magic Kingdom. I love the one lady’s Mickey Mouse Ears hat with the little antenna on the top! She looks like she’s going to take off into the magical air! […]

View post →Day 2 on location in the Magic Kingdom and Ronnie said “Go BIG!”…. So I taped up 4 pieces of 11″ x 17” paper (above) and began with a line never really certain where it would end.  With only 4 days on location and multiple assignments on the board I never did complete my drawing. But […]

View post →Enjoy the last moments of summer everyone! Here is one of my favorite memories of the season, a little watercolor and gouache painting made while relaxing on the beach in Aruba. Greg Betza ©2015
View post →The last day of drawing in the Magic Kingdom, (literally in the 11 hour) it rained and rained HARD! Buckets and buckets poured down everywhere. To say MAGICAL is an understatement. Watching little tikes all under 7 kicking up puddles with such joy and vigor made one wonder if it was rain or Pixie […]
View post →Took a few minutes to draw the wonderful Disney World Tea Cup ride at the Magic Kingdom a few weeks ago while working with Dalvero artists! Lots of selfies, but no selfie sticks, unfortunately! The Tea Cups are my favorite ride, mostly because people rotate themselves a little extra and they get off the ride […]

View post →Did you know yesterday marked the 80th Anniversary of the Federal Art Project? The Federal Art Project was a pretty significant contribution to American culture. Funded by the New Deal in 1935 it was one of the projects kicked off by President Franklin Roosevelt. The program employed as many as 10,000 independent artists across 100 communities […]

View post →Each in their own world, this “collection of three” was sitting across from me while waiting for the 3:00 parade in the Magic Kingdom last week. People are often the hardest to ever draw. But OH WHAT A BLAST to try! I had so much fun!! Thank you Ronnie, Marg for such an incredible reconnect! Have a great […]
View post →In honor of the vast numbers of little Wild Kratt kids absorbing all the animal knowledge they can on this fine Saturday, a few elephants for scientific observation. Just a subtle turn of the head and shift of the leg and the whole dimension of the space they take up changes. Had a blast on […]

View post →Another drawing of Mr. Gandhi at Union Square. Many items will often be placed in Mr. Gandhi’s arms: flowers, pizza containers, etc.. On Sunday there was a bouquet of sunflowers placed in a Starbuck’s plastic coffee cup. There was some water placed in the cup to feed the sunflowers. This was placed on Gandhi’s right […]
