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 Rohit Kulkarni. I am from Bangalore, India.
I was always interested in arts. I had done a bit of sketching in the past. But things went very bookish when I sketched/drew as a student for knitwear design. Later I found the site wetcanvas and participated in their wde. It was fun. I have on and off sketched after that but never to my potential.
Joining this course, I am hopeful that some of Liz’s energy dusts on to me 😀
Some of my work can be found on http://www.rohitkulkarnis.blogspot.com
Hi everyone! My name’s Yasra and I am an art and architecture writer with a special interest in the history and theory of art/ criticism and architecture. I enjoy sketching, reading, cooking and writing. I live between Dubai and India. I have been sketching for a while but not as consistently as I’d like. Hopefully, that should change 🙂
Welcome Maria. Wish we lived closer. I think it would be fun to do a cycling trip that included stops to sketch AND drink coffee!! I live in Northern California.

Hello Snowdrop and welcome to the course!
I think I have recently met your friend Dawn via this course and blog. It is good to know there are several of us in this locality. I am sure you will enjoy Sketch now and believe me, speaking as one who started at the beginning, I am still in dire need of repeating exercises! Thank goodness it is not a race and we all will travel at our own speed, enjoying the journey!
Ironically, re lesson 3 looking at postboxes, we have an Irish one in our garage, made by my husband for our son’s recent wedding to a lovely girl from County Mayo. Telling you this as if a green one appears as a local sketch, you Norfolk people will understand why!
Hello mickied!
Yes I think Dawn did mention having met up with a fellow course member. My real name is Julie by the way, but I do quite like being called Snowdrop! Thanks for the encouragement re catching up … I will try to not be agitated about catching up and enjoy the journey! The three lessons so far look brilliant. It’s amazing how many people are on this course! I will try and spot the green postbox on Flickr!
