About me
About Me
Hi there! I’m Olga Shefranov (also known as PaintisPassion), a watercolor artist with a playful passion for painting animals and birds. I love transforming them into expressive characters, highlighting their human-like quirks and personalities. Sometimes they turn out whimsically cartoonish, other times more refined—but my goal is always the same: to bring a smile to your face. I believe art should spark joy, and a little kindness goes a long way in this world.
A Bit More About My Journey
I’m an Israel-based artist and a proud member of the International Watercolor Society (IWS), where I also collaborate with the IWS Israel team. My background includes studying at the Israel Animation College and working as a game artist (2010–2017), where I honed my digital skills.
Today, I focus on traditional watercolors, and my work has been featured in juried exhibitions across Italy, Poland, France, Russia, Vietnam, Israel, and other countries, and collected by art lovers worldwide. When I’m not painting in my studio, you’ll find me teaching watercolor to kids and adults or outdoors capturing the magic of plein air painting.
P.S. While I admire digital art, I don’t sell NFTs—my heart (and brushes!) belong to watercolor.
