Live Version of Travel Sketching starts 13 May

Introduce Yourself

Where do you live and what do you?
Have you done much sketching before or are you just starting?
What are your other creative pursuits?
Please include a link to your Flickr account, blog, Facebook page, Instagram, Tumblr etc.

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…

    This is wonderful that there are so many of us in the course, living in so many different parts of the world. Hello, everyone!
    I’m Emily. I was, as they say, – “born & bred”here in Kentucky. We make our home in Louisville.

    Though I painted some in oils growing up, it was not until 2007, (and after many, many years away from painting), that I picked up a watercolor brush. Such a different approach start to finish!

    I love keeping a watercolor journal, whether it’s just here at home or as we travel.

    Hi, all. I’m Beth from near Holland, Michigan USA. I’ve tried to post here twice, and am not finding my post in the thread, so maybe the third time is the charm. I have been a college teacher and administrator for almost 30 years in literature and creative writing. I have published three mystery novels under the name Josie Gordon. I also sing and do a little readers theatre when there is an opportunity. I grew up as the one in my family who couldn’t draw! But when my creative interests led to me try working with comics, I decided I could learn something…enough to at least lay out storyboards for other artists. I’ve been practicing for a few years and joined Sketchbook Skool for all three semesters–the focus has helped my drawing really improve. That’s how I discovered Liz and I’m happy to be here with everyone. I am particularly loving people seeing all the posts timed and dated from the future!

    Hi, I’m Carmen I live in Girona, (near Barcelona) Catalonia (Spain). I work as a lawyer and I love to draw as a child. I’m a beginner sketcher but drawing makes me happy and it’s a very relaxing activity to disconnect from work. My speaking and writting English isn’t as fluent as I would like so I apologize for my mistakes specially spelling and grammatical errors. I’m really looking forward to this course.

    Wow what a lot of people!! Hello to everyone.

    I’m Michele and live near Boston, Massachusetts although I’m originally from England. I painted in high school but deviated into science for a fair few years until I decided to take up painting again a couple of years ago.

    I love Liz’s sketches, style and general approach to everything. And of course she is a devoted tea drinker – what’s not to like?

    Hi, I’m Norma and I live in Encinitas, a suburb of San Diego, California. I’ve done ceramics and other three dimensional art for more than half of my 68 years but just tried drawing a couple of months ago. I’m an avid gardener and traveler. For some reason, I’ve developed a burning desire to sketch/journal my clay projects, plants, and travel. I hope this course will get me started.
