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 everyone – I live in Warrnambool (on the south coast of Australia) and I retired this year. I am very interested in developing sketching and painting skills and am particularly interested in sketching buildings. I am very much looking forward to the next twelve weeks.

    Hello everyone, my name is Toni. I live in Sydney, Australia and have enjoyed watercolour for several years. This year I discovered urban sketchers and the lovely group who attend and sketch our wonderful city. I’ve wanted to join one of Liz’s workshops but time poor! Really looking forward to learning from liz .. Many thanks liz… We are in for a fun ride

    Hi, my name is Lydia and I live in Southern California, USA. I love drawing, doodling, and hand-lettering but never really got serious into it. I started getting into it more the past few months and started art journaling too. I look forward to learning new things from you!

  4. Hello, I live in Whistler, British Columbia; I’m a therapeutic yoga teacher & facilitator. I’ve been sketching for about 4 or 5 years now, mostly life drawing sessions, some watercolour painting workshops. In the last year or so I’ve become interested in sketchbook journals and have been trying to get going in that, in fits & starts. I just recently signed on to do the SketchBook Skool so getting quite a bit more sketching done in the last few weeks, it has definitely sparked my sketch journal habit! So I was delighted to see this course and am hoping it will help me continue and expand my sketching habit 🙂

  5. Sounds good! I know the ferry is very limited this time of year!
