Hello,
I am 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.

What My Students Say: 

¨I want to thank you so much. You explain things in such detail, demonstrating patiently all the while. I am not a beginner but I am wishing I had someone like you to help me understand where I so often went wrong and why. Learning through making mistakes is valid but without understanding the fundamentals, e.g. the properties of paint, that method of learning will always bring frustration. Your work is stunning and I am very much enjoying this course.¨

¨This is the best lesson on color mixing, I learned so much. The color swatching brought it all together for me. I love your little book of colors for various flowers, what a handy resource. I think it will also be helpful when I want to recreate some of the colors. I am such a visual learner, this was excellent.¨

¨I found it invaluable and feeling more confident with the colour wheel, warm and cold and saturated and desaturated colours. Thank you¨

“The explanation about how to mix the color to achieve results was clear and straightforward. I learned a lot about tone and enjoyed swathing colors ”

“This is not something that was ever addressed. Picking up paint and palette mixing and diluting. Leading to the heavy use of pigment. I am glad to have gotten the bundle even though I thought I knew what I was doing... HMMMM. Thanks so much. ”
