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…
See above intro. I think I forgot to check the notify box!
Hi Everyone, I’m Julie and I live in North Carolina U.S., near Raleigh and Durham. I grew up in Michigan and I still have family there. I teach fitness and yoga to seniors. I have recently been exploring my interest in watercolor and now sketching with my teacher, Lin Frye. We are taking this class together. I’m excited to be here and know it will be fun and challenging. I am on Facebook too and I am also doing sketchbook skool beginnings.
I’m Tama from Tucson and recently took the storytelling session of Sketchbookskool. For 24 years my husband and I have helped people self publish books. We mostly work in person, but have a website at ghostriverimages.com, Everyone in thi group sounds so accomplished! My hobbies are art, spinning, rughooking and old-fashioned living. My claim to fame is that I won a Thanksgiving turkey a few years ago at a flintlock rifle shooting contest.
I want to use my sketching to produce small books on topics I find exciting. I’m thinking a series on the Mexican restaurants of Tucson would be fun. I would like to improve my ability to sketch quickly and portray food and buildings. Now if I can just master the computer skills needed to upload and download, etc. Cast-iron cooking is a lot easier!
Ah, I meant to add that I am on Facebook as Tama White and you can contact me at ghostriver@gainusa.com. Thanks!
Hello! This is Patty Ruthe in Pennsylvania. I am naturally curious, a nature journalist, and a Sketchbook Skool Skolar. I’m sort of “semi-retired” as I still teach environmental science at the local community college. I love journaling about nature so therefore I am trying to improve my sketching skills. Besides taking on-line art courses, I am participating in the Pennsylvania Master Naturalist Program.
Hi everyone, gosh what a lot of you there are! I am Lisa, I live near the coast in beautiful West Dorset, UK. I have been painting and drawing for the past few years with varying degrees of success! I work mainly in acrylics and watercolour and would like to gain confidence to sketch regularly out in public! I’m hoping this course will give me the impetus and direction to do this. I love Liz’s style and spontaneity and hope to capture some of this in my work! Well that’s the plan!
