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…
Hello! I live in Albuquerque, New Mexico and I joyfully stumbled on Liz’s work on pinterest. I am fairly new to sketching but I tend to document in my head and I would like to do more on paper. I am really looking forward to this class.
Hi, I am Angela. I live in Birmingham, Alabama. I am new to sketching. I am fascinated with Liz’s work. My interest keeps growing as I follow Urban Sketchers in Pinterest and I find so many beautiful examples of architectural drawings. I am a busy engineer. I love traveling, photography and spending time with my family. I am looking forward to learning from Liz and some day creating my own travel sketches. I feel a privilege to be part of this class.
I live in Anacortes, Washington on Fidalgo Island in the NW corner of Washington state. We have a sketching group that meets each week. I’m really excited to learn all that I can through Liz’s class. This will be FUN!

Hello to everyone. I live in Nova Scotia, Canada. I am new to sketching . I expect that I will gain a lot of insight from Liz’s class and my fellow classmates.
I have enjoyed Liz’s blog for months.

Hi Ruth ! I am also from Nova Scotia. I live in Halifax. How about you? Look forward to seeing your work. Shelley
HI Shelley
I live in Bedford so very close.
Greetings to the group — I was born the U.S. to a family of Oak Park, Ill., Architects and Artists and grew up on the shores of Western Michigan.
I’ve eventually settled in Salt Lake City with my wife after a Baghdad tour with the US Army, and work as an Architectural Specification writer with a large firm here.
I also and share time with my other profession as an Architectural photographer – http://www.jsturr.com
I discovered the magic of watercolor last week — and did some searching and came up with Liz’s site — how cool is this — all of these people taking this class !
The world has become a small place all of a sudden.
Go easy on me — JSturr.
