What do my students say about the course?

What an amazing course! Thank you Olga!

"These lessons were possibly the best part of the week!
As a designer I learned how to sketch at school but unfortunately never really developed the skill… So Olga's course was a great way to brush up on the principles of perspective and along the way I also picked up a whole suitcase of tricks on how to make my sketches look really professional!
The course is fun, easy to follow, extremely well organised and after each lesson I felt like I made a whole lot of progress! And the price is so reasonable!"

- Nadezhda Alexander, interior designer, London, Instagram


It is some of the best money I’ve ever spent!

"Some time ago I stumbled upon Olga’s profile on Instagram. I was instantly taken by her ability to make design ideas come to life with her vivid and detailed sketches. Unfortunately I don’t speak Russian, so when her sketch course came in English I didn’t hesitate to sign up for it.
It is some of the best money I’ve ever spent. Olga is a splendid educator, and I am so pleased with the results I get.
The lessons are well structured, easy to follow, and you will quickly get nice results. She really loves sketching, and her passion goes into her teaching so you can’t help to get smitten by her enthusiasm. I know, that my sketching skills are not yet close to Olga’s level, but I will satisfy for less, and by the help of Olga and her online course, I know, I will get there.
I hope she will develop more of her courses in English, so I can continue evolving my sketching skills. If you would like to develop or improve your sketching skills I can only say, that by Olga’s help you can’t avoid improving your sketching."

- Betina Mølvang, interior designer, Copenhagen, Instagram


"Olga's courses are amazing! She is the best teacher on sketching I met so far (and I met quite a few). I think we are blessed to learn from a real master of sketching!"

- Katerina Guliaeva, Student at New York Design School, BFA Program for Interior Design, Instagram

Always had a passion for interior design ever since you were little?

Still find that you have a love and passion for remodeling and decorating?

Love to learn drawing to create something fun and imaginary?


My classes are not only for interior designers or architects; a novice person can take the courses.

I can tell you that about 60% of my students who go through my online courses are indeed either interior designers or architects but the other 40% are Creatives from all walks of life with different backgrounds. Almost all of my students, according to my stats, are complete beginners not only in interior sketching but in drawing in general.

You do not need academic knowledge of interior design or architecture in order to take my classes, though it is an advantage.

Some of my customers apply perspective drawing skills in the interior design practice; some of them become sketch artists and draw commissions for architecture and interior design companies, and some of my students learn sketching just to boost their creativity and have more fun and inspiration in their lives.

What I have noticed, is that some of my students decided to pivot in their professional lives and became sketch artists after taking my classes, so they apply these new skills and change their careers.

Here are a couple of examples:


Perspective drawing and interior sketching is my passion, and I believe that my courses will help you define your direction.
