What Our Students Say
As adults, we have one advantage: we choose our school and teacher ourselves, and I love my choice! Olga is talented not only as an artist but also as a teacher, with a beautiful, eloquent way of speaking. She inspires with her enthusiasm and energy. Talking with her is a real pleasure: a kind and beautiful person you can't wait to meet again.
Nina Gomozova
Oil painting was something beautiful and out of reach for me, until I accidentally discovered Olga. Everything I can do in painting today is entirely thanks to her. Which brush to use, which solvent to buy, which canvas to choose, and most importantly, where to find inspiration, how to start and finish a painting, how to believe in yourself: Olga teaches us all of this! She is not just a teacher, but a wonderful, sunny, cheerful, and open person.
Janina Kamps
With every painting from Olga's master classes, I can see myself growing and my drawing turning into real painting. I sent Olga a few of my works, and her sincere delight gave me wings, a huge desire to keep going, and faith in myself. I'm endlessly grateful to her for that. I still watch and buy Olga's master classes, but on her advice, I've started taking my first steps in painting on my own. It's challenging but exciting, and it has become part of my life.
Marina Sukhanyuk
Olga paints with incredible ease, using a variety of materials and techniques. The words "she teaches by inspiring," which I often hear at her webinars, describe Olga perfectly: a charming and super-positive person. My plans for the future include lots and lots of painting. I'd love to cut down the time it takes me to create a painting, sell my work at affordable prices, and delight my friends with beautiful subjects. And Olga Bazanova will be a great help with that.
