Paint Loose and Free! Create Your Own Minimal Abstract Art with Lynette Melnyk.
About this Event

The last time Lynette taught this class, participants said they wanted more time and now you’ve got it!

It’s your time to Create Like No One’s Watching in this full-day workshop that's designed to help you let go of perfection, explore freely, and create bold, minimal abstract art that feels truly you.

Whether you're an inspired beginner or a seasoned painter, this 6-hour session is all about loosening up, experimenting with intention, and enjoying the process without pressure or judgment.

Lynette will guide you through playful exercises using simple shapes, lines, and harmony. You’ll explore how working with creative limitations — like color or composition — can unlock new possibilities and reduce overwhelm. Along the way, you’ll build trust in your intuition and discover that sometimes, less really is more.

By the end of the day, you’ll have a collection of expressive abstract pieces you’re proud of and a powerful reminder that your most meaningful art often comes when you’re having fun and letting go.

You’ll leave with:

  • Art you love
  • More confidence in your creativity
  • A spark that keeps you excited to keep painting

About the Instructor

Lynette Melnyk is an abstract artist who brings energy, joy, and real-world wisdom to the studio. Known for her bold brushstrokes and expressive style, she helps people stop overthinking and start creating – whether they’re picking up a paintbrush for the first time or returning to their creative spark after years away.

Her workshops are playful, confidence-boosting, and full of “aha” moments. With a background in art, design, marketing, and creativity coaching, Lynette makes abstract art feel approachable, exciting, and deeply personal. Students often say they leave her workshops feeling lighter, more inspired, and ready to keep painting, feeling like real artists and wondering why they ever doubted themselves.
