My most popular class. Loved by hundreds of students.

You've seen the kind of florals you want to paint. Big, expressive, full of colour and movement. Painted with confidence, like the artist wasn't afraid of the canvas.

But every time you sit down to paint your own, the brush tightens up. The colours get muddy. You overthink, you smooth things out, you try to control it, and somehow what comes off your brush is nothing like what you imagined.

Big, Beautiful Blooms is the class for that. Six complete floral projects on large canvases. I’ll guide you step by step, so you can create your own large-scale gorgeous florals you can’t wait to hang on the wall.

What’s Inside the Class

  • Artist Nikol Wikman is painting an abstract artwork on a canvas with various colors and brushstrokes.

    Warm-up

    Party Time

    Play with colour, mark-making, and layering before your first painting. No pressure, no plan, just a chance to get comfortable with the tools and the canvas.

  • Four abstract paintings by Nikol Wikman created with broad, colorful brushstrokes in black, blue, orange, beige, and green on white canvases, surrounded by paint bottles and palette with mixed paint colors.

    Lesson 1

    Unforgettable

    Use your home as inspiration to design a painting that fits beautifully in your space. We'll explore accent colours and create a true statement piece.

  • Blue floral painting hung above a kitchen table

    Lesson 2

    Dreams in Blue

    The beauty of painting with a limited palette. Loose abstract florals on a tall narrow canvas, with depth and movement built through brushstroke and value.

  • Nikol Wikman wearing a blue shirt and splattered paint pants is painting an abstract, textured canvas with neutral and pastel colors on an easel in a studio. Art supplies such as brushes, paints, and spray bottles are visible on a table.

    Lesson 3

    Light Up the Night

    Start with a deep dramatic base and build up bold textured blooms using unconventional tools. A lesson in layering for depth and drama.

  • Close-up of a person's hand holding a paintbrush, painting black and white splashes on a canvas with white paint and a palette nearby.

    Lesson 4

    Blossoming Together

    Turn the canvas vertically for a fresh composition. We'll use brushes and a trowel to build layers of oversized florals with dynamic expressive texture.

  • Lesson 5

    Golden Hour

    Play with warm yellows, greens, and neutrals using rollers and big brushes. Bold, loose, expressive florals in the most joyful colour palette.

Bonus - Beyond the Painting

A bonus lesson on what happens after the paint dries. How to choose colours that suit your home, see how your painting will look on your wall, and install hanging hardware so it hangs securely and beautifully.

What You’ll Come Away With

By the end of this class, you'll have five completed floral paintings on large canvases, painted in your own loose joyful style. You'll know how to mix colour, build texture, and paint with real confidence. And you'll know exactly how to make those paintings look beautiful on your walls.

Beautiful Paintings Created by Students

I have just taken Nikol's Big Beautiful Blooms online course and couldn't be happier! I have taken dozens of online art tutorials over the last few years, but this has been one of the best courses! I am so excited to finally be able to say I can now paint beautiful roses and flowers easily! Nikol is a really great teacher and I have enjoyed her teaching style. I highly recommend her courses.

Nikol removes painting anxiety and helps you create beautiful works with a free and easy style. She breaks down each piece step by step, even showing you how she mixes the colors, the size strokes to make and the drips to include or erase. Enjoyable. Using her tutorial, I finished 4 very large canvases in a few days…things that normally would have taken me months to complete.

Hi, I'm Nikol.

I've been painting and teaching for over fifteen years. My paintings hang in homes around the world and are licensed in home decor stores across North America and Europe. But what brings me the most joy is teaching.

Big, Beautiful Blooms is the class I made for the painter who wants to make beautiful florals but doesn't quite believe she can yet. I'll walk you through every step, share the colour mixes, the brushwork, and the loose joyful technique that makes these paintings come alive. By the time you're done, you'll know you can do this.

I can't wait to paint with you.
