Minimal Abstract Art with Lynette Melnyk

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
