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…
If you are close enough to Portland OR to want to be invited if we get together send me an email and I’ll put you on my list. Then I can organize something. As we have our own business it is an easy place to meet up. email is dbdcat@aol.com.
Kay, I’m in Sellwood, looks like Portland is well represented!
hi everyone! I’m Ernestine from Las Vegas, NV (originally from the Philippines).
I started learning watercolor two years ago and have loved it since. I love loose and spontaneous (impressionistic) style painting and have no patience for too much detailed work.
I also learned calligraphy and I love handwritten notes and I keep a gratitude journal which I write with Lamy Joy calligraphy pen.
Painting is my “me” time and I can say that I’ve found my passion!
I’m Carrol and live in the beautiful state of Oregon. Right now we are in a deep freeze which is highly unusual. I started a sketching a few years ago. How I lament the fact that I could have been sketching views and scenes while traveling around the world. However it is the present and having had Liz’s fantastic class in Danny Gregory’s Sketchbook Skool, I look forward to learning everything I can from Liz.
Hello! I’m Jen Mak, from Sydney Australia, originally from Hong Kong. I’m a traffic/road engineer and a mummy of two gorgeous boys (a toddler and a terrible 3-er). I have recently awaken my drawing itch after attending a 1-day watercolour course. I had no formal art training (except for some chinese painting classes during childhood), currently trying to self-learn how to sketch properly and absolutely love the feel and dynamics of watercolour. Being a time poor mum, it is hard to go out and sketch. However, I love the feeling of losing myself in the drawing space – enjoying the moments of ‘me’-time during night. The prospect of learning how to sketch quick and capturing the essence of the sketch attracts me to the course. I’m really excited about this – my first online learning experience (thanks Liz!) and looking forward to learning from Liz and sharing with fellow sketching friends from all over the world!
Hi from Baltimore, Md
