What’s Inside the Class

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

    Lesson 1

    Blue Horizon

    A wide expansive landscape in fresh blue tones. Charcoal and acrylic come together to build movement and light across a horizontal 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 2

    Daybreak

    A glowing sunrise sky with textured clouds and an expressive foreground. A chance to work with the trowel for bold, layered paint.

  • Living room with a blue sofa, multiple pillows, a small black side table with a cup and book, a stack of books on another black side table, a large abstract painting on the wall, and a green plant.

    Lesson 3

    Moonlit Meander

    A dramatic landscape of dark tones and confident highlights. The lesson where layering starts to feel intuitive and the painting begins to glow on its own.

  • 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 4

    Passing Time

    A moody night seascape with atmospheric clouds and quiet water. Soft edges, layered colour, and the kind of mood you can almost feel.

  • 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 5

    Morning Walk

    Mountains, clouds, and trees brought to life with a palette knife and graphite. A confident, expressive finish to the main lessons.

  • Bonus Lesson

    New Beginnings

    Revisit core techniques and turn a “practice canvas” into a brand-new painting with spontaneity.


What You’ll Come Away With

Six completed landscape paintings on 30x40 inch canvases, ready to hang on your walls. The skills to mix colour, build atmosphere, and paint with real confidence. And the kind of looseness that lets a painting feel like a place rather than a careful copy of one.

This is the most enjoyable class ever! Relaxing, zero stress...you’re the bomb diggity Nikol🥰

Hi, I'm Nikol.

I've been painting and teaching for over fifteen years, and landscapes hold a really special place in my heart. Growing up on Vancouver Island surrounded by mountains, sea, and sky probably has something to do with that. My paintings hang in homes around the world and I've had the joy of teaching over 2,000 students online.

Expanding Landscapes is the class I made for the painter who wants to paint bigger, more atmospheric landscapes and stop overthinking them. I'll walk you through every step. Layered colour, expressive marks, and the kind of loose confident painting that makes a landscape feel like a place.

I can't wait to paint with you.
