So I’ll go first…
I’m Liz (I think you all know that!)
I live in Sydney, Australia. I’m an architect by profession and worked 20 years on a range of residential and commercial developments, specialising in media projects. I’ve always drawn as part of my work but in 2007 discovered watercolour and started my first daily sketchbook. I haven’t stopped sketching since!
I’m very interested in architectural history and theory and drinking tea out of fancy china teacups… but I’m guessing you all know that too!
You can find me on: Facebook, Flickr, Google+, Instagram and Twitter using the buttons under ‘Connect on Social Media’ in the footer of this website.
Now it’s your turn…
Hi, I am Ellie. I live in Portland, OR. Kay French is my dear friend, we went to art school together (PNCA) a long time ago. Kay got me into SKS “Seeing”. It is good to be drawing again.
Hi Ellie — I am also a Portlander!
Hi Ellie,
Oregon is well represented! I am south of you in Lyons, not far from Salem!
Hi Ellie, Kate and Carmel
Hi there!!
Hi, I am Hillary Barnes and I live in New Zealand. I like creating things and I am full of questions about everything. Born 1946, so old enough to be eccentric. I am on facebook, instagram, pinterest, etc and have run a blog for 10 years.
Really looking forward to this challenge with Liz.
Hello! I am Jean and I live in the sky on the 20th floor with a view of New York City in the distance. Also, I ride my horse several days a week in the beautiful Ramapo mountains. While I am very excited about this class, I must warn you that I am a beginner to this kind of work. I do design and stitch needlepoint, and I am looking forward to stretching that to a new direction,
Hi, I’m Leslie from Perth in Western Australia. I took up sketching when I realized it was too difficult to always carry an SLR camera, or pull out acrylic paints, or crafting gear to get a creative fix. Small kits consisting of a sketchbook, permanent pen, tiny mint tin with watercolours and a waterbrush are stashed everywhere so I can capture precious and fleeting memories on the go. I find myself sketching multiple times a day and just staring at unfinished larger paintings that seem to need a lot more time and dedication. I discovered Liz’s blog a year ago, joined Sketchbook Skool and am so excited to finally have ongoing lessons with Liz.
Hi, I’m Cerena and I live in the wheatbelt of West Australia.
Nice to meet you
