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’m Fran from Geraldton, Western Australia. I found Liz through Danny Gregory and Urban Sketchers. I’m looking forward to learning to sketch with more spontaneity, less procrastination and the confidence to sketch wherever I happen to be. Such a big group here. This is going to be fun!
Hello everyone – iI am from Canberra Australia. I went to art school 30 years ago and trained in painting but life took me towards textiles and then teaching Photoshop, Illustrator and web design in an art school. I have always kept a journal and studio journals but after many years I am returning to drawing from life- in a sketchbook. Most of all after years of computer work I enjoying the rediscovery of ‘marks and stuff’ on paper. I am looking forward to this class after reading Liz’s blog for years.
You can find me at

If there are any other Canberrans out there – I would love to make contact
Hi, everyone, I’m Cate, a lifelong Sydney resident. Most of my art experience has been printmaking and I’m quite new to sketching. Looking forward to this course!

wow, what a group! I think the aussies may be bending the class curve!
I live in San Diego California and have been drawing for about 6 months. I connected the same dots from Danny Gregory to Urban Sketchers to LIz. I am retired from marketing medical products and have fallen hard for my sketchbooks, pens and brushes.
I am also just down the 5 from several folks and have gas money.
