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, I am Suzanne from Washington State, USA. My intention for this class is to actually DO the work. So far, so good. My drawing skills have always held me back in my art journey. I’m late starting and working full time as a college counselor limits my art time, but I plan to follow through with this entire excellent class. I actually pinkie-swore with my husband that we would both spend time each day on our artistic endeavors. Looking forward…
I live in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley of Virginia in the USA. I consider myself an “artist in training” and have been taking some online and in person classes during the past year (including Sketchbook Skool where I “met” Liz).
My goal is to be able to draw more quickly and accurately, to draw daily and to draw in journals when I travel.
Over the years I’ve dabbled in calligraphy and Zentangle, and during the past year a small group has met at my home once a week to do something artistic/creative. We have such fun!
Greetings all! I am Katie, and am another late signer upper. Took the plunge when I learned the lessons will be available for a year. Born and raised in Southern California, but residing in Phoenix, Arizona, USA for the last 19 years.
I do a lot of volunteer work with my church and am trying to grow in my art for pleasure and perhaps for profit someday.
I have always enjoyed drawing, took drawing/painting classes at the College level, but set it aside while raising our 3 boys. After I graduated my youngest in 2011 (we homeschooled) I taught drawing for other homeschooling children for a few years. This was fun, but so time consuming I didn’t have time to do art for myself. So I’ve stopped teaching and have become the student again. 🙂
I also love music, reading, gardening, and exploring nature.

I hope I can catch up and figure out all the technical aspects of the class!
Hi! I signed up at the last minute so now I’m already 5 weeks behind–YIKES! I’m another 3 semester SBS student and have been loving all the classes. I am really excited about this one and just hope I can keep up. I am trying to get oriented tonight and hopefully tomorrow I can watch the week 1 videos.
Hello everyone!
Talk about last minute! Phew! But I am so glad I made it in! I am very much a beginner. I only started drawing this past summer because I stumbled upon Sketchbook Skool. I started messing around with pen and watercolors and fell in love. I often feel like I don’t know what I am doing . . . because I don’t know what I am doing. I am so new, that I often don’t know how to care for my watercolors or palette. But despite bumbling through everything, I am having fun. In fact, SKB class was one of the few positive things about a very, very stressful last few months. (I started a new job and I am still in graduate school pursuing a degree in Library and Information Science). Oh, sorry! I forgot to mention that I live in Honolulu, Hawaii with my husband.

Looking forward to this class and learning from everyone. . . if I ever catch up to you all!
Aloha,
KJ
