What’s Inside the Class

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

    Lesson 1

    Simply Sweet

    A loose first project to warm up your hands and your colour mixing. Fresh palette, easy marks, and a gentle introduction to the rhythm of the class.

  • 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

    A Touch of Autumn

    A bigger canvas, richer colour palette, and deeper layered florals. The first chance to stretch into more confident mark-making.

  • 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

    Cascading Beauty

    The signature roller technique meets playful drips and bold motion. The lesson where loose painting really starts to feel free.

  • 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

    Flirtatious

    Limited palette, fast-paced painting, confident marks. A lesson in trusting yourself and committing to your colour choices.

  • 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

    Blossoming Romance

    Lush layered florals in pinks and olives, painted intuitively. Pulling everything you've learned together into a piece that feels like you.

Bonus Lesson: Enjoy the Journey

A real-time bonus lesson where things don't go as planned. I'll walk you through how I problem-solve mid-painting and keep going with confidence. Many students say this is their favourite lesson in the class.

What You’ll Come Away With

Five completed floral paintings, plus the bonus piece. The roller technique, intuitive layering, and a toolkit of marks you'll come back to again and again. And maybe most importantly, the feeling of painting loose, joyful flowers without overthinking it.

A simple wooden bench with a lower shelf, placed against a white wall. The shelf holds several white ceramic bowls and a small jar. There are light-colored cushions on the bench. To the left, a large green plant with broad leaves in a woven basket. Above the bench, a colorful abstract painting with pink, white, brown, and gold tones is hanging on the wall.

Thank you Nikol!  I’ve taken a few online courses but yours is really pushing me in the direction I want to go in. It’s really helping me to loosen up my painting.

Nikol really helped me with letting go. I paint so structured and been trying to not! Thank you a million times!

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.

Feels Like Flowers is the class I made for the painter who just wants to have fun at the canvas. No big transformation, no big pressure. Just five floral projects painted loose and joyful, with a real-time bonus lesson where I'll show you how to recover when things don't go as planned.

I can't wait to paint with you.

Nikol
