View post →Here is a drawing that I was able to salvage from a slight flood that affected only the bin with my art/projects in it. It mysteriously flipped, unlocked and spilled into the only puddle in the garage. I recently lost a ton of work from my hard drive that went dead on me. I dont […]
View post →I made this drawing from a window in my old apartment in Hoboken, NJ. Windows provide unusual and sometimes unreachable vantage points which will make your drawing unique. And remember if it’s too hot (or cold) to go outside, there’s always the window! Greg Betza ©2013

View post →with oil pastels. I normally avoid oil pastels, especially the Rembrandt brand, because of how mushy they can be. I always bring them with me when I draw from the model though. In case I ever have a change of heart. I finally used them, and mushed the colors around until I ended up with […]
View post →Yes, another model drawing, but not a another duck! Ridge is the model for this particular drawing. He is a great model; wonderful to draw. He’s over six feet tall, works out and has great muscle tone and great proportions, all making him a wonderful model to create some great picture making from! Our last […]

View post →A few years back I flew out to Arizona and drove to Joshua Tree National Park. It was unlike anything I had ever seen before. The shapes, the marks, the textures, the color, all of it was magical. Joshua trees look like people to me with raised hands reaching toward the sky. I would love […]
View post →On Memorial Day, people who have the day off do what they love to do in their free time- eat, drink and be with friends. Although I like to do this at times, my preferred way of relaxing is to draw from the model. Great way to spend a day. Can’t wait to do it […]
