A panoramic drawing I made last summer in the Little India section of Singapore. What a great city! I was there teaching a workshop at the 6th International Urban Sketchers Symposium. I’m happy to say that I have been invited to conduct a workshop at this year’s symposium in Manchester, UK! It’s called “Puzzling Out […]

View post →Rush hour in Amsterdam. It’s true, people on bicycles are as thick at rush hour as people in cars are here in NYC. If only the Citibike plan actually worked, I could be making this drawing on the corner of 1st Ave and 14th St., instead of having to fly across the Atlantic to make it. […]
View post →If you will be in Scranton, Pennsylvania this Saturday, March 7th, please come by to the Artists for Art gallery for a day of art! This drawing, above, is one of about 25 pieces of reportage illustration that I will be exhibiting at the gallery, along with art by the talented illustrators Chris Spollen and […]
View post →Michele’s recent post about the Picasso Museum in Paris made me think of my own times spent in that beautiful city. Here is a drawing of I.M.Pei’s famous glass pyramid in the courtyard of the Louvre. People seem to love it or hate it. I love it. Posted by Veronica
View post →A quick drawing I made in my sketchbook, of our ever-changing NYC skyline. This was made from the Central Park Zoo. You can see the giant pencil-thin tower, “One 57” going up at the right. It’s even taller now than it was when I drew this, about two months ago. I hear you’ll be able […]
View post →A drawing of the NYC skyline that I made from Central Park, while completing one of my favorite reportage assignments. The skyline keeps changing, but I’ll always love New York. posted by Veronica
View post →In honor of the upcoming New Year, I thought I’d post a painting from the Brooklyn Botanical Garden of the torii, a traditional Japanese gate found at the entrance to Shinto shrines. The torii typically marks the entrance from the profane to the sacred and can symbolize new beginnings and passageways. Wishing you all a […]
View post →I took advantage of the mild day in New York last Saturday to go up to the Bethesda Fountain in Central Park and play with drawing. Did this, just messing around, plus a few more thumbnails, and playing with drawing in the i-pad too. It was just relaxed fun, and I’ve been so busy this […]
View post →Playing with watercolor at the Colosseum in Rome…I can’t really think of a better way to spend an afternoon. Especially when it ends with pasta and vino. 😉 posted by Veronica
View post →So many wonderful memories of my recent trip to Europe, culminating in a week in Barcelona to present a workshop at the annual Urban Sketchers Symposium. The drawing above is of Sagrada Familia, Gaudi’s dream, which the Catalan people will not let die. The amount of construction work going on there is astounding, and it’s […]
View post →Manhattan is BOOMING with new construction lately, and no place in the city is seeing this more than Chelsea. Since the Highline stopped being an industrial eyesore of the West side and became a chic park, seems like all the ritzy people want to live there. So many new glass palaces going up everywhere – […]
View post →A lot of my friends find it a bit strange that I keep saying that moving from Manhattan to Jackson Heights is like moving to the country. Remember that Seinfeld episode when Kramer described Queens that way? There is definitely something to it, because here it is the weekend, and I am making a drawing […]
View post →Spring is here in NYC, and that means Union Square is hopping. Made this quick drawing while waiting to meet the students of my last Pratt Location Drawing class this semester. What a great group, I was sorry to see the class end. Posted by Veronica
View post →Today the temperature climbed to the upper forties (fahrenheit) here in New York City – – with sunshine! I had the good fortune of spending some time today on the Highline, and squeezed in a few drawings of the New Yorkers emerging from their caves. Guess what – we saw our shadows! Spring will be […]
View post →Going through my drawings from the last several years, and came across this one from Dublin’s Temple Bar area. Bricks and plants mingling together over the doorway of an Irish pub…this part of Dublin felt almost unreal, like a stage set! It’s the ‘cultural quarter’ of Dublin and still has the old medieval street patterns. […]
