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…
I’m Carrie from California’s Central Valley (but an Oregonian most of my life). I started drawing only earlier this year and discovered how satisfying it is to create on paper. I’ve been a Sketchbook Skool student for Beginnings and Seeing and have loved the experience and exposure to all sorts of other wonderful creative people. I’m looking forward to joining Liz and all of you for this class!
Carrie are you living near Portland now? I’m in Portland, and looking for other people near me! Kate
I live in Hillsboro and am looking for sketchers close to me! :o)
Hello, I’m Dori and I’ve drawn my whole life. I studied art in college and worked as a graphic designer for 10 years. Then went back to school and got my masters in psychology and worked as an art therapist for 10 years. Now I am self employed doing a variety of design work. I am really excited about this class and hope to develop a daily sketching practice. I can be found here:

Hi all!
I am Lynn Green and I live in Bellevue Nebraska,USA. I am currently working as a graphic designer. A career change from Interior Design/Architectural drafting field for over 25 years. I really love to draw and the career change was a step to more creative drawing instead of technical drawing. I love Liz’s style and enjoyed her Klass in Sketchbook Skool. I am trying to break free of the technical and precise drawing that I did for years into a more spontaneous loose expressive style. I started my own blog, paintspensnpencils.blogspot.com as a way to push myself to get going and drawing. I am looking forward to this class to help with that IC that keeps me from accomplishing that!
Hi to all these lovely people from all over the world! I’m looking forward to not only sketching but learning more about other parts of the globe. I live near San Diego CA, USA with my 12yo and 10yo, husband and cat and lots of birds, 2 tame and the outdoor population that visits my feeders. The cat stays inside and watches – I call it cat TV. Can’t wait to get started! Justine
Hi, I’m Bobbie, and I live on the central coast of California. I love travel, art, yoga, and have always wanted to sit in a cafe and draw what I saw. Now that I am retired, I plan to do just that……. and am hoping to learn how by taking this class. I love Liz’s approach, and her use of watercolor. I am an Urban Sketchers groupie, and definitely a beginning artist-in-process!
Hi Bobbie!! I’ve never met anyone else from the central coast in online classes before! I’m near SLO!! I am also a total Urban Sketcher groupie (great phras)!!
