About Michael Solovyev

 

Michael Solovyev is a renowned master artist, internationally acclaimed painter, dedicated educator, and the creator of numerous successful workshops. His art is celebrated for its lightness, transparency, and masterful use of light — the central character in every one of his works. With an academic background in fine arts from Russia, Michael has become one of the most sought-after art instructors in the world.

 

Throughout his career, Michael has conducted over 150 workshops across five continents, sharing his knowledge and expertise with thousands of students. His works are part of private and public collections globally, and his participation in major international art festivals has turned his name into a recognizable brand. He is also the author of seven books, four of which focus specifically on watercolor techniques.

 

As a brand ambassador for Daniel Smith and Escoda, Michael not only works with the finest materials but has also developed his own line of art tools — from signature brushes to a unique bamboo palette.

 

At the heart of Michael’s teaching philosophy is a commitment to a personal approach. He believes that art is more than just technique — it’s a deeply individual process that thrives through connection and understanding between the student and the master. This is why his classes are intentionally kept small, ensuring that every student receives individual feedback, guidance, and the space to unlock their true artistic potential.

 

“I don’t just teach people how to paint. I teach them how to see — to see light, space, color nuances, and most importantly, their own unique voice as an artist.”
