About The Sketching Sisters

Welcome to The Sketching Sisters! We’re Emma and Nikki, two sisters united by our love for art, creativity, and community.

Our Story

Our lives have taken remarkably parallel paths. We both live on farms in rural southwest England, are mothers to three children of similar ages and we both have experience managing holiday let businesses on our farms! But what truly brings us together is our shared passion for sketching and cycling – often combining these two beloved activities.

How It All Began

In November last year, we created ‘Farmvember’ – a ‘draw this in your own style’ art challenge on Instagram. What started as a way to encourage each other to draw daily soon blossomed into a vibrant community event. The joy and connections we found through this experience inspired us to create something more enduring – and thus, The Sketching Sisters was born!

What We Offer

  • Monthly prompt lists to help you build a daily sketching habit
  • Insights into our creative process
  • Occasional podcasts and videos where we chat and sketch together

Join Our Community

We’re thrilled to have you join us on this artistic journey! Whether you’re a seasoned artist or just starting out, there’s a place for you here. We encourage you to participate, share your work, and connect with fellow sketching enthusiasts.
