Hello!
My name is Jola Sopek, I'm a self-taught watercolour illustrator from Poland currently residing in the south of England where I live with my husband and our baby.
I specialise in food and botanical art and am the author of "15-Minute Art: Watercolour" book (Hardie Grant/Penguin Random House, 2024).
My work is characterised by vibrant, natural colour palettes that evoke a sense of playful and joyful realism, which I believe watercolour is the absolute best medium for!
Since 2019, I take commissions for custom illustrations and packaging design, teach workshops on watercolour painting techniques online and in person.
For commissions and teaching enquiries please contact me at: hello@jolapictures.com
