So Let's Dive In...

Let's Take A Peek Inside The Lounge!

Watercolor Lounge: Month One

For the first month, we are focusing on floral & botanical designs! The peony is what I would consider to be a bit more advanced where you can add as little or as much detail to the petals as you like. The tulip we will create has LOTS of incredible detail & colors!

If you find this month challenging when you first start, check out my bonus class: Watercolors Made Simple to help you get a hang of the basics first!

Watercolor Lounge: Month Two

It's all about fall, y'all! Wreaths, pumpkins, & leaves! I approached painting these pieces with more of an illustrative style and adding a bit of lettering for you to try for yourself too! I picked a limited color palette from my Muyungo watercolor paint palette and really enjoyed finding different varieties of pumpkins too!

Watercolor Lounge: Month Three

Time to get into the holiday spirit with this month! We will create 3 paintings from beginner to more advanced levels! In this month, I wanted to give you a beginner level painting with Christmas ornaments, a more moderate level with the wintery landscapes, & lastly, a more challenging but charming reindeer that I drew in two different ways for you to try. I personally love the illustrated look, but again, paint what speaks to you and what make you excited or happier.

Watercolor Lounge: Month Four

In this module, you'll be painting a variety of holiday motifs & some beautiful florals! From a simple wreath that you can have a lot of fun customizing, to a loose pinecone, to a sweet abstract floral bouquet, there are lots of colors & designs to choose from this month!

Watercolor Lounge: Month Five

The motifs for this month are inspired by the beautiful nature around us! We start out by painting leaves before diving into painting a large, beautiful floral! We also get inspiration from unlikely things like mushrooms, which are SO fun to paint! You're going to love this nature inspired month of paintings!

Watercolor Lounge: Month Six

Details, details, details! This month we will be painting some beautiful floral paintings & fruit! We will explore how to add detail & depth to your paintings that makes your designs really pop & look incredible! We will be playing with some darker colors like Payne's Blue Grey, Magenta, Undersea Green, and more!

Watercolor Lounge: Month Seven

In this module I have a long tutorial, full of tons of value for you! I'll teach you how to paint a feather from start to finish, as well as a beautiful rose & pear! I love painting feathers and want you to really understand how I approach painting them because once you do, it may just become your new addiction to paint! 

Watercolor Lounge: Month Eight

This month brings lots of spring & Easter vibes! We will paint an adorable bunny sitting in the grass, and a few lovely, floral teacups! This month will be fun & challenging, and give you lots of new ways to experiment with painting details like fur, and creating all new shapes! We will be creating these paintings together from start to finish!

Watercolor Lounge: Month Nine

In this month, we will create a bird and a butterfly! Play with color, explore how you'd paint each a few different ways and really enjoy the motifs this month! We use beautiful yellow colors to paint our bird & flower, as well as gorgeous burnt sienna & umber colors!

All 9 months are available to you immediately, so you can go through the lessons at your own pace & don't have to wait for new months to come out!

Hey there!

I'm Nicki Traikos, And I Think I'm A Lot Like You!

Like you, I have struggled with endless trial and error when learning how to paint what I love, and be happy with the result. I've spent thousands of dollars on the wrong supplies and countless hours getting things wrong before I finally started to feel confident in my artistic abilities. My main goal is to help you avoid the struggles I faced when starting!

Art is my passion and being able to express my creativity daily is a blessing, it’s what I love to do for a living. My mission is to help people like me, to have the courage to unleash their own inner artist through learning and practicing new skills, whether it is painting or lettering or even starting a home based business too. Most importantly, exploring art and enjoy the process along the way.

I love creating works that inspire, and guiding people to find their own inner artist. “Passion isn’t something you can explain, it’s what you feel when you’re happiest.”

I can't wait to see you in the course! 😊
