I’ve been traveling and travel journaling as well. Here is a spread that I made at the Colorado National Monument. 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 am so not one for summer time fun. It’s just so HOT. And the beach is not the place I like to be by choice, but summa-times I find myself stuck in the sand and trying not to bake in the sun. I avoided the water for as long as I could and quickly […]

I made this quick drawing at Balanced Rock in Colorado Springs, CO. Balanced Rock is well, a giant red sandstone formation that appears to be precariously balanced. People love to do “the pose” where they’re holding it up. It is beautiful though, wow. Greg Betza ©2019

Got caught daydreaming, time passes by a little quicker than we sometimes realize. Here’s to finding time the rest of the week for some daydreaming and thumbnailing the next project.—Dominick

I’ve been traveling cross country this summer and yesterday I traversed the plains of Kansas. Aside from a few cows dotting the landscape, not much to see. But there is something beautiful in the golden plains and the multiple greens of the crops. I tried to capture that here, and a few cows. Greg Betza […]

Here is a drawing made in Athens about 10 years ago. I stayed at a hotel with a beautiful view of the Acropolis and Parthenon. Amazing place. You can see more drawings from my trip here: http://www.gregbetza.com/category/reportage/greece/ Greg Betza ©2019
