The Artist

Hi, I'm Sonya and I'm inspired by atmospheric scenes with strong sunlight, long shadows, silhouettes and anything that makes ordinary life look nostalgic and beautiful. Also very happy to say that I was runner up of Surrey Artist of the Year 2023.

How to Sketch People

Alongside painting, I also love sketching people and wanted to pass this joy onto others. If this is something you fancy having a go at, even if you don't think you can draw at all, take a look at my online course How to Sketch People. It's packed with big concepts and little gems to take you from stickman to real person and it's lots of fun too. It also comes with a FREE sketchbook and pencil for a limited time so don't delay!
