Hi! I'm Nicki Traikos, Artist, Author, and Instructor from historic Unionville which is north of Toronto 🇨🇦.

On my channel, you can expect to videos, tutorials, and chats about watercolor painting, art, and inspiration for daily practices to help boost your creativity, and add a little more beauty to your everyday life! 🎨

I'm best known for my popular watercolor classes and book, Watercolor Made Simple. My passion for art and sharing my love for art stems from a place of making art more approachable, simple, and helping you to feel more confident in your art practice.

Do me a favour and hit subscribe so that you're one of the first to know when I publish new content as I have lots in store for you in 2024 and I would hate for you to miss a thing! (I also overuse exclamation points and love emojis too and totally own both 🤣 )

I'm happy you are here and feel free to leave comments so I know what you are enjoying and want to see more of

Cheers to living a life you design
Nicki x
