I’ve taken classes both in Florence and online. Both were excellent. Obviously if you can go in person, being there is amazing. However, if you can’t go to Florence, I’m in Canada during the lockdown, then online is such a fabulous opportunity. Sonia has helped me with my egg tempera portraits. Her eye is so good. She can explain what we need to do, help me mix the colours, and even help me with brush strokes all on Zoom. I’m so happy to have had this opportunity to study with Sonia from my own home.
