Course Curriculum
Hi, I'm Olga Bonitas!
Independent award-winning artist and educator. Member of Union Watercolor Russia.
In 2016, I welcomed my second baby and became a full-time mom. With very little time for work and creativity, I faced a decision: I needed to learn how to draw quickly. I bought a small-sized sketchbook to have with me whenever I had a free minute for drawing.
That sketchbook contained various types of paper, including black and brown craft paper. It It was my first experience with sketching on tinted paper, and it truly amazed me. It transformed my artistic vision, changed the way I drew. It provided me with much more creative freedom than I had experienced before.
You can read more about my journey and how I arrived at my modern approach to sketching on tinted paper in a blog post available here.
Believe me, it's worth a try.
What my students are saying:
"Loving all the projects in this class. My fgavorite are the quotes and the family pictures. That would also look well in a frame hung on a wall. Hope to see more classes from you, OIga. I really love your sketching journey and that palette of yours always inspires me." - Meda H.
"I love Olga's classes! There is a sense of calmness in her teaching style that makes my overloaded mind go to quiet and very peaceful place of creativity- to rest, enjoy and rejuvenate. As she has mentioned, and as we all know the process of creating something, on a piece of paper (in this case even paper that we usually put for recycling) or anything, is the most important part; it creates paths in our brain which I see as a park trails where we go so we can breath, relax and replenish our spirits. I find Olga's classes equally valuable as art lessons and therapeutic self-care.❤️ thank you Olga!" - Vesta D.
