Abstract Freedom

Turn fear into freedom and create bold, abstract paintings that you’ll love!

Imagine feeling confident and free every time you face a blank canvas…painting with colour, texture, and movement that truly feels like you!

In Abstract Freedom, I’ll show you how to loosen up, trust your instincts, and let go of perfection so painting becomes joyful again. You’ll learn to follow your intuition, explore new tools and techniques, and create large expressive abstracts that burst with life and personality.

I’ll guide you step by step through my process in a relaxed, playful way, helping you move past fear and discover how much fun painting can be. Once you know how to layer, play, and experiment freely, you’ll see that there’s no limit to the beautiful pieces you can create.

Meet your Instructor!

I'm Nikol Wikman, an artist from Victoria, BC, Canada, and I'm thrilled to have you here! Painting is my source of joy and freedom, fueled by the magic of pure liquid color. About 12 years ago, I decided to make painting a daily part of my life, resulting in hundreds (maybe even thousands!) of artworks. I've been fortunate to connect with a fantastic online art community, sharing my work with collectors worldwide.

Art should be a part of everyone's life. If you've ever felt the desire to create art, I'm here to say you can and should! I offer online classes to inspire budding artists. Let's share the joy of art together!
