Introduce Yourself
Where do you live and what do you?
Have you done much sketching before or are you just starting?
What are your other creative pursuits?
Please include a link to your Flickr account, blog, Facebook page, Instagram, Tumblr etc.
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…
Maggie here from Pembrokeshire in West Wales. I have been following Liz’s blog for some months and loved her tutorials on Sketchbook Skool. I took up art classes on retirement and have dabbled in lots of different media, but sketching is what I love best.
Hi I am Liezl from Cape Town in South Africa! I am 44yrs old and have loved creativity all my life! 2014 was the year I promised myself that I will stop only admiring sketchbook artists, I will give it a try myself.
I was thrilled when I learned of sketchbookskool.com and in semester two it was lovely to have a weeks class with Liz Steel, who I have noticed for the first time in the facebook posts of the Barcelona Sketchers gathering in 2013.
You can find me at myheartdreaming.blogspot.com and on Instagram ‘Liezlvs’
I am so looking forward to your class Liz!!
Hello everyone, good to meet you. I ‘m Jules, and I live near Bristol in the UK. I’m a textile artist and designer and started keeping a sketchbook journal a couple of years ago. I’ve drawn and stitched all my life, but I want to loosen up my sketching – and improve my studies of man made objects! I think Liz’s class is just what I need! looking forward to getting to know people here. I blog at http://needleandpen.blogspot.co.uk/
Hi all I’m a painter and textile artist. I live on a coastal Nature Reserve in the UK where my husband is the Warden. Sounds wonderful in theory I know, but living here is not like the idea people have unfortunately! Anyway I used to sketch a lot, but stopped really when we moved here as I no longer had access to my favourite subject, which is people.
Since then I’ve been trying to get into landscapes and buildings – and am gradually doing that so I was delighted when Liz announced this course – I discovered her work on Flickr years ago – maybe 2008? Anyway I am happy to be here and to connect with you all.
