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 Pam from Melbourne Beach, Florida near the Space Center. I am excited about this class and learning from Liz! I share many of her same interests and am so happy to have her as a resource. Can hardly wait!
Hi…Jane here. Have lived on both coasts…and chasing grandchildren, I’ve wound up here in Birmingham, Alabama, USA. Have taken 2 Sketchbook Skool classes and have absolutely loved hearing from and seeing the work from around the globe! Looking is mostly still what I’m doing. Being a former art student…my efforts do not meet my expectations. However, I do love watching everyone else’s progress!!
Hi, I’m Leeanne from Brisbane, Australia, a retired Microbiology technician. Discovered Urban Sketchers last year which lead to Sketchbook Skool. Have wanted to do a workshop with Liz for a while as I admire her style and enjoy the teacups. Would like to be able to sketch faster and looser. My other interests are ukulele and learning Japanese.
Hi, My name is Mary and I live in St. Michael, Minnesota. I worked as an oncology nurse for 47 years and have been blessed immeasurably by the experiences working with cancer patients and their families. I am new to sketching and drawing but pulled to enter into and experience the wonder of it. I feel blessed to be a student in this class. Thank you so much. I am on Pinterest and Facebook as Mary Brunk.
Hi Mary, It’s Michelle from Dion Dior’s Water-soluble Pencils class! So nice to find a friendly name taking the Sketching Now course. Looking forward to seeing our work progress. Have fun!
Hi, my name is Katherine and I live in Sydney, Australia. I met Liz when she was guest tutor at a sketch class I was attending a while back. She was so helpful and nice and explained things so clearly to me. I share with Liz an interest in buildings although I find they are not easy to sketch! I started travel sketching about two years ago and really enjoy it. My other long-time passion is quilting. It’s very nice to meet you all and I’m looking forward to starting class 🙂
Hi Katherine, nice to meet you. I also live in Sydney, enjoy travel sketching and am a quilter. Kay
Hi Kay, nice to meet you too. What style of quilting do you like? Originally I wanted to learn to draw to try and design my own pictorial quilts, but when I started sketching I found I enjoyed sketching for sketching! Katherine
