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’m Kathleen. I live in Canada but am originally from Singapore. I’ve dabbled in art for most of my life but have been taking it seriously in the last 10 years after I took early retirement with the move to Canada. I stumbled upon Urban Sketching 2 years ago and love it! I really enjoyed Liz’s course on Sketchbook Skool and hope to improve my skills and spontaneity in this course.

Hi all. I’m Angie and from West Sussex in the south of the UK. I first heard of Liz when I did Sketchbook Skool and love her approach. I am looking forward to (hopefully!) learning how to sketch fast and loose – in fact how to sketch at all would be nice 🙂
I’m also doing an online course on Tapestry Weaving with Rebecca Metzoff so both ends of the spectrum as tapestry weaving is definitely a slow process!
Hi, 🙂
My name is Olga and live in Mexico City with my husband and two children. I’m a computer system engineer and had discovered drawing last year, while attending a technical training course. I found out that if I was drawing, the tiredness disappeared (my training course was after work, until very late). I love drawing and having a sketchbook as a journal is my “escape”. I have also taken Sketchbook Skool (the three current courses) and… I love being here.
Hello!
My name is Shelley and I am from Nova Scotia Canada.
It is a bit of a daunting prospect of winter sketching considering I am ALWAYS frozen!! Looking forward to the next 12 weeks.
I can not remember a time I did not draw. I did the last three sessions of SBS and discovered Liz in session two. No real formal art training. Trying to find my own way of doing. Often it seems slow going on my own. Looking forward to seeing everyone’s progress over the next 12 weeks!
I enjoy drawing with my kids. Yoga, hot or regular, knitting, watching mysteries and riding my bicycle.
