Hello,
I am Olga Koelsch!


​I'm a watercolor artist, book author, and educator based in Norway. 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 prestigious botanical exhibitions across the UK, USA, and Japan.

By 2018, I began experimenting with modern watercolor techniques, particularly focusing on transparency, 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.

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 which 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.

Hello,

I am Olga Koelsch!

I am a self-taught watercolor artist and graphic designer, based in Norway. I started in 2016 with a simple watercolor set. A year after starting my journey, I made progress in botanical illustrations and participated in botanical exhibitions in the UK, USA, and Japan.

In 2018 I started to experiment with modern watercolor and transparent techniques. Now I am a full-time artist and run shops on Etsy and Creative Market with my illustrations. Even robes with my floral designs were seen being worn by the cast members of 'The Real Housewives of Miami'

A year ago I started a YouTube channel to teach my watercolor techniques and it turned into a very supportive community. I am a mom of two kids and always looking for time-saving techniques and ideas. All of this inspired me to create my signature course where I could help everyone achieve their artistic confidence and at their own pace.
