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…
Hello, my name is Elena, I am Italian and I currently live in Rome, Italy, where I work as an Interior Designer. I often have to sketch a piece of furniture or a room but my sketching is childish. I can use Illustrator, Auto-cad and Photoshop but most of the time I end having to sketch because the clients and the artisans understand better hand-drawing than computer-drawing.
I have a blog that speaks about decoration if you want to have a look

Thank you Liz for having me in your course.
(you can also download from the blog a free mini-guide of Rome where in the future I would like to add some sketches).
Hello, I am Corinne. I live in Arnhem in the Netherlands. I love sketching and hope to learn a lot during this course. So far I enjoyed it a lot. Is there anybody else following the course, who lives in the Netherlands?
Hallo Corinne, ik ben wel nederlandse, maar ik woon niet in NL, maar op Tenerife (Canarische Eilanden, Spanje). Groetjes, Willy Anderson
Hallo Willy,
ik heb je blog bekeken.Leuk!
Groetjes,
Corinne
Hi all, I’m Annette, and I am in the process of moving from deep south Texas (yes, we live 9 miles from the Mexican border and no, I am not afraid to go outside!), USA, to Louisiana, and am currently surrounded by boxes! I have been involved in photography, specifically nature photography, for several years, and, while I have enjoyed it very much, because I am outdoors all the time, I feel it’s now time to grab hold of my non-drawing ability and make it a drawing ability instead. I have an almost insane desire to sketch the world around me, and know that even though, right now, I am making rudimentary sketches, only practice will improve my drawing skills. Glad to meet everyone in cyber-school, and look forward to seeing everyone’s work. Liz, already, I have learned so much and thoroughly enjoy your teaching style. Thanks for making the time to create this course.
Hi everyone. I’m Elise, a fine art photographer branching out into sketching and watercolor. Just spent a fabulous 10 days at a watercolor sketching workshop in Tuscany with Brenda Swenson and am eager to continue the progress I made there. Looking forward to getting to know you all.
I’m Kelley from Boise, Idaho and put down my paints and pastels for almost 7 years after many years in the galleries. It’s time to start again and I’m ready to roll.
Hi, Kelley–I’m in Meridian! 🙂
