First drawing of the decade! I chose a darkening Texas sky. There were more colors, but I only had blue and black. Somehow that was all I needed, the mood feels just as it did. Happy New Year! Greg Betza ©2020

Having a free day today I spent some time drawing our little Christmas tree. It’s only about 3 feet tall, but it works. I hope you’re all enjoying whatever holiday you celebrate and are taking time to relax and reflect over the next few days… Greg Betza ©2019

I’m spending some time in Austin, Texas and decided to seek out some life drawing, and happily found a nice group at the Austin Visual Arts Association. A great model and talented group of artists. It was fun getting some of the rust off. Greg Betza ©2019

Breakfast is looking a bit different lately. My son has hit a growth spurt and it’s blowing my mind on a daily basis. His limbs are long and the time I have left to snuggle with my little boy is short! ~Despina

A figure drawing made at the Society of Illustrators a few years ago. I don’t remember the theme of the night, but from what I can see in this drawing it feels pretty dramatic! Greg Betza ©2019

I visited the town of Buena Vista Colorado and had dinner in a bar restaurant. Here are a few people enjoying a few drinks. They weren’t as sad as they look in my drawings, I swear. Greg Betza ©2019

I have been to a cave or two in my day, but nothing prepared me for what I saw at Carlsbad Caverns National Park in New Mexico. WOW. The natural beauty, the fantasy, the awe. I really don’t have the words to describe it. Here is a drawing from the Hall of Giants, a series […]

Driving (as the passenger) through Utah this summer I quickly drew the rapidly changing landscape. Every few minutes the land would completely change. It was beautiful. I drew so fast, looking back at them I see just how different they were. Greg Betza ©2019

It’s an extraordinary place where “Towering monoliths exist within a vast plateau and canyon panorama.” It’s not always on the radar when heading on a trip of National Parks, but I assure you it’s not […]

Here is my attempt to paint the subtle variations in an almost all green landscape using just brush markers. It was fun, somewhat challenging, but overall just a nice way to spend the early evening. Greg Betza ©2019

So I’ve been spending some time out west and while in Colorado I attempted to “paint”, with crayons, Pike’s Peak. It was really a great day spent with my son drawing until the sun began melting our crayons right on the top of the rocks we were drawing from. That was fine, it happens. But what […]

I spent a week in Kansas City, MO in July and made my way down to one of its famous jazz clubs, the Green Lady Lounge. On that night, performer Max Groove (not his real name ;)) performed his organ duo with a drummer (can’t remember his name :(). Great guys and great music. Greg […]
