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’m Theresa from Boise, Idaho. I have studied calligraphy as a hobby for a number of years. I began keeping a sketchbook after a class in San
Diego from Jane Lafazio. Like a number of you, I found Liz through Sketchbook Skool. I look forward to this new sketching adventure.
My name is Frankie (Eliza is my 8 year old granddaughter who also enjoys sketching). I live in North Idaho, near the Canadian border and work as a Hospice nurse. My son Rob, is an Urban Sketcher and sketches nearly every day. I’m hoping this class inspires me to sketch lots more!
PS I also have a tiny bear who travels with me, in my car on daily patient visits…maybe I’ll do some drawings of him!
Hi, my name is Claudia and I live in Linz, Austria. I’ve become interested in urban sketching after reading the book “the art of urban sketching”. I’m a beginner to sketching and looking forward to this course.
I’m Lynn. I live in South Burlington, Vermont. We’ve had a beautiful summer and fall and now winter and the cold weather are approaching. I was introduced to keeping an illustrated journal a few year ago through reading Danny Gregory’s Everyday Matters book. I just attended 3 semesters of Sketchbook Skool online(although I did not complete all my homework) and that is where I was introduced to Liz Steel. I love Liz’s work and promise to do all my homework for Sketching Now.
Hello, I’m Joanne and I live in Santa Fe, NM. I’ve been painting in watercolor for a long time and have explored other media such as oils and watercolor pencils. In the past several years I have also spent time quilting and knitting creating my own designs. These days I spend most of my free time painting and sketching primarily in ink and watercolor. I work full time as a project coordinator for an Architectural/Engineering firm, so free time is limited but fun!
I just can’t get enough of exploring, learning, and creating art:)
I’m excited about this course with Liz Steel whose art I have enjoyed so much!
