The “Q” stands for quarantine, a word that we all hear far too often these strange days. Feeling a bit stagnant and honestly a bit sad this morning I decided to just draw, to get out of this temporary funk I’m feeling. I’m happy to report I’m feeling much better as I worked to find […]

Spring is upon us…and I’m sure I speak for you all when I say it feels quite different this year.

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
