About Losina Art Center

In 1991, the eponymous founder of Losina Art Center, Olya Losina, moved to La Jolla from Moscow, where she was raised among a vibrant artistic community and served as the art director for the Soviet Union's largest multilingual publishing facility. Losina's fine-art methods, which she honed while obtaining her master's degree at Moscow University, focus on teaching art as a science. While helping her students at the center to work toward mastery of portraiture, the human form, landscapes, and still-life subjects, she performs exercises that aim to reach them on a subconscious level. Together with Losina, the students examine the conscious thoughts that often intrude upon creative expression. They approach the artistic consciousness as a surgeon would approach a brain when trying to dislodge catchy pop tunes from the frontal lobe. With obstructions cleared, pupils find themselves able to work freely and efficiently.

Olya is a fabulous teacher! I leaned so much about how light and color works. I have taken lots of art classes over the years, but this class gets into the nitty-gritty on how the brain and eye see things. Plus it’s just fun.

We learned alot of good information beyond techniques that you would expect to get. Instructor, Kinusha, was knowledgable, interactive and enthusiastic about art in all its facets. I'm really looking forward to more.

I recently attended Intro to Drawing parts 1 and 2. Because I am left-handed, I wanted to learn the techniques of drawing "from the right side of the brain." I was delighted that the course delivered what it promised. Drawing was no longer frustrating and intangible. Olya is very personable. You can tell she has learned from and worked with exceptional artists over her lifetime. She doesn't hold out on sharing the techniques she's learned. It was exciting. The first class, I was spoiled by a small class size taught by Olya. The second class was studio time with a larger group. Everyone working in the studio was supportive and kind. She taught the whole group advanced concepts on seeing light color, shadow color and the fill color of reflected light. Mind-blowing stuff. You see these details in everything afterward. She encourages taking notes. She gave a real gift making art attainable and fun. Also, she has that rare quality in a teacher where you trust the potential she sees and you want to strive.

Olya was a great instructor and went into many different aspects of drawing and shared stories as well. I very much enjoyed the course and the instructor and will take other classes here soon.

The Intro class was very interesting, informative and literally, eye opening. We were coached to see things I've never thought about before. Taking notes and pictures of our work shows the progression which will help me recall all that I learned. I'm looking forward to the next class!
