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 Susan Sutcliffe from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Most of my artwork for many years was in clay, but I have been taking Sketchbook Skool courses since last April and am loving it. I really enjoyed Liz’s teaching and think that I can learn so much more from her. I am semi-retired. I no longer work as an occupational therapist, but am still a full time care provider for my adult foster son.
Hi everybody
I am Melissa Tang and I live in Sydney. I chanced upon Liz’s website and was inspired to join. I haven’t sketched very much but would love to learn and this seemed like a great foundational course to help me to do so . I am really looking forward to learning and be inspired from others, although having joined so late, I think I will be very far behind. I like taking photographs but nowadays am always struggling with time. This is just one way I hope I can inject some creativity back into my life. Thank you.
Hey Y’all, I’m Allyson Roebuck. I live in the Southeast of the USA, Birmingham, AL. I’m a commercial interior designer by profession and do a lot of drawing both by hand and via the computer. I love drawing, always have since I was a kid. The technology shift (introduction of CADD) into the design world kinda took all of us in these kinds of professions away from physcial hand drawing for a while. However, it’s wonderful to see that skill being revived and celebrated again in new ways! I’ve been incorporating more and more hand drawing into my own work for a number of years and enjoy that more and more. Looking forward to working through the course! I’ve been literally swapmed with tenant space designs in the last few months! I saw the announcement of the class and just missed the date but made it now!! I do have a Flicker site where I’ve been posting work. I’ve also just discovered Instagram!! It’s just divine! Not sure how you cite Instagram—but I tried!

Loved your drawings!!!
Hi, I’m Linda. I live in Seattle, Washington, USA. I’ve very recently retired from my last job which was as an administrator at a university. Before that I did a bunch of other things, mostly teaching and working in administrative jobs. After being convinced for my entire adult life that I absolutely could not draw, a little over a year ago, much to my surprise, I picked up a pen and started drawing. Since I hadn’t drawn since grade school I am very much a beginner and have *everything* to learn. I’ve been in Sketchbook Skool and a couple of Koesje Koene’s classes with some of the other students who are here in this class (~~~~~hi everybody!~~~~ ). I also take photographs and write a little but this recently-emerged passion for art seems to have taken center stage.
….and my Flickr page with a few photos and some classwork from other classes is https://www.flickr.com/photos/lintenn/with/14093738394
I’m hoping that telling you this will motivate me to update it.
Whoops. I meant https://www.flickr.com/photos/lintenn
I don’t “get” Flickr.
Hi! I’m from Plano, Texas (near Dallas) and heard about Liz via my professor, Jim Richards (from my masters in landscape architecture classes at UTA). I’ve always been interested in sketching but have never done much of it. I’m coming in late but am looking forward to the lessons.

Not too late, Sherry. Enjoy the lessons and dive right in.
blessings,
Michelle
