Watercolor Transparent Flowers

A clear, supportive course that helps you focus on painting - without guessing, struggling, or drawing worries.

 
Yes, I Want to Paint with Confidence

Does watercolor feel harder than you remember or harder than you expected as a beginner?

If you’ve ever thought:

  • “I’ve never really painted… I’m starting from zero and don’t know where to begin.”  ​

  • “I used to paint… but now I feel stuck.”  ​

  • “My flowers look muddy instead of light.¨  ​

  • “I don’t really understand transparency or how much water to use.”  ​

  • “Maybe I’ve waited too long to get back into painting.”  ​

  • “I’m scared I’ll ‘waste’ paper and paint because I’m such a beginner.”  ​

You are not alone, and these thoughts are a very natural place to begin.​ Watercolor is a skill, not a talent you either have or lose, and even complete beginners can learn it calmly, step by step!

Hello, I'm Olga Koelsch!

I’m a watercolor artist and educator based in Bergen, proudly representing Norway in NAS (Nordic Watercolor Society).​

My watercolor journey began in 2016 with a simple set of paints, and within a year, I was showing botanical illustrations in prestigious exhibitions in the UK, USA, and Japan.​

In 2018, I began exploring modern watercolor, focusing on transparency and expressiveness, which quickly led to my first custom commissions. Today, I’m a full-time artist with work licensed worldwide, including collaborations with Hobby Lobby, Home Decor, Next, and Karen Millen.​

I’m also a proud Resident Artist at Arches and an Ambassador for Princeton Brush, Maimeri, Canson, and Daler-Rowney.

As an educator, I’ve created in-depth watercolor courses that have received amazing feedback from students around the world. Your progress inspires me to develop easy-to-follow yet comprehensive classes that empower you to paint with confidence, offering a solid foundation of skills to support your creativity.

Hello, I'm Olga Koelsch!


I'm a watercolor artist, book author, and educator based in Bergen, representing Norway in NAS (Nordic Watercolor Society). My journey with watercolor began in 2016 with a simple set of paints. Within a year, I made significant progress in botanical illustration and participated in key botanical exhibitions across the UK, USA, and Japan. By 2018, I began experimenting with modern watercolor techniques, particularly focusing on transparency and expressiveness, which led to my first custom orders.

Today, I'm a full-time artist, with my work featured and licensed globally, including collaborations with Hobby Lobby, Home Decor, Next, and Karen Millen. I am proud to be a Resident Artist at Arches and an Ambassador for Princeton Brush, Maimeri, Canson, and Daler-Rowney.

As an educator, I've had the privilege of teaching students from around the world, sharing my passion for watercolor. In addition to my YouTube channel and my book, “How to Paint Watercolor Transparent Flowers,” I’ve developed a series of in-depth watercolor courses that have received incredible feedback from my students. Your progress inspires me to develop easy-to-follow yet comprehensive classes that empower you to paint with confidence, offering a solid foundation of skills to support your creativity.

  • Paint flowers that look light, transparent, and alive
  • Understand how water, pigment, and timing work together
  • Know exactly what to do next instead of guessing
  • Feel calm and confident when starting a painting
  • Fix common mistakes before they ruin your work
