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 I’m Peter, living in Melbourne, Australia. I have heard good things about the course and jumped on board. I’ve been a keen observer of the Urban Sketchers website and it’s time to try my hand at it, particularly for recording my travels.
And did someone mention coffee?
Hi Peter,
There are several of us from Melbourne. I live just outside the Metro area. If you scroll through you will find us. I love coffee.

Hi I’m Stephanie. I live in Sydney Australia. Now I’ve retired I have resumed drawing and watercolour classes and discovered sketching as a perfect travel companion and memory keeper. I want to draw more freely and frequently and not be so concerned with accuracy thus exploring colours and different materials. I have already met Liz at Sydney Urban Sketching outings and really enjoyed her stimulating ideas and group interaction. My passion is for good coffee but I can appreciate the “tea culture” too!
Hi I’m Shaun. I also live in Sydney and have had an avid interest in arts and crafts all my life. I studied art at school and painted on an off through the years but recently found the set up and mess impractical which led me to sketching. The watercolour sketching and journal work of Liz’s on SketchingNow I am finding so inspiring. I look forward to joining the Sydney Sketch Club when I am a little more confident. I love to sew, knit, crochet, read, have an interest in history, family history, interior design. Hoping to combine these interests with sketching somehow. I taught primary school briefly many years ago but at present doing a Nursing degree. Oh yes….I love to relax with a skim piccolo in an interesting coffee shop and/or beautiful location!!!
Hi, I’m Nancy from The Woodlands, Texas. I just “retired” from 15 years of teaching Art History and am excited about getting back to drawing.
Hola, I’m anne or Anni and I live in Mexico near Puerto Vallarta . I have a great group if friends with whom I get together twice a week. Tuesday’s for beading and Fridays for art. Mostly watercolours but sketching is a high priority and we love to head out for plein aire, at least in the winter and spring.
I just got home from a two week trip to the Copper Canyon so have a bit of catching up to do. I think I’ve finally figured out how to introduce myself but am still out of my depth when it comes to Flickr.
Welcome, Anne.
It’s easy to get caught up in the social sharing. Put the art first and enjoy the lessons.
We had 10 people for Thanksgiving and many trips to the airport so I am quite behind with the lessons. Two kid’s birthdays in the next five days too. After sharing this, will stick to drawing in little minutes and worry about sharing when I can …
