The Artist

Hi, I'm Sonya and I'm inspired by atmospheric scenes, often 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.

More about me

Little paintings

I went through a phase of doing 5" square paintings every day that capture little moments in a big world. They are original paintings, some only £100, which you get to keep forever!

Black and white collection

I stripped back the colour and focused on the light, it was interesting.

How to Sketch People

This is an online course I made last year out of my love of sketching people. If this is something you've always wanted to learn, take a look at this NEW version of the course out now. It's packed with big concepts and little gems to take you from stickman to real person.

Aaand - I'm giving away 10 FREE sketchbooks and pencils to the first people to buy (UK only). It's a bit like a Blankety Blank cheque book and pen but more arty. Offer still available so don't delay or you may miss out.
