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, my name is Ann and it is nice to meet you all. I live in Sydney, Australia and I am looking forward to seeing your art works representing different parts of the world where you live. I have been sketching for one year and have a lot to learn so I’m really looking forward to the home work.
Hi, my name is Kate, I live in a small coastal town in Victoria Australia.
My painting and sketching began over the last few years. I am looking forward to learning greater skills and gaining more confidence in quick sketching.
Hi Kate, I also live on Victoria’s coast – at Warrnambool. Am I anywhere near you?
Hi Janet, We live in Far East Gippsland in Mallacoota so couldn’t be much further away. Both beautiful locations.
Hi all. My name is Mary. I’m originally from Detroit, but I’ve lived in Chicago for 25 years. I’ve sketched for a long time, but I’ve never taken an online class before, so this should be fun. I also like to knit and crochet.
Hi everyone, my name is Cheryl
I live in Canberra. I work full time but really want to be an artist! My art passion is mixed media but I desperately want to be able to create a visual journal for my travel adventures. I’ve tried. I’m really not very good. AND I’m scared stiff of drawing in public. I’ve got so much to learn!!!
I am Nancy and I live in San Diego , CA I in the USA. After my husband and I retired, we traveled through all 49 states in our Roadtrek 20 foot RV. I recorded our travels with a written journal and photographs but never had enough courage to illustrate them. I have many ideas from Sketchbook Skool and am looking forward to learning the skills from Liz to put them to paper.
Hi everyone,
I am Marylou and live in Brunswick Heads, northern NSW. I have done one of Liz’s architecture sketching classes in the rocks which was invaluable. I am so grateful for the mighty internet to give me the chance to learn more! I love drawing & painting but tend to get caught up in the detail. Sketching helps to overcome the obsession for perfection!
