Who's It For
Whether you’re a total beginner, coming solo, meeting friends, or just needing some time out for yourself, this creative session is designed to be calm, relaxing, and enjoyable. If you like simple step-by-step guidance and a friendly vibe, you’ll fit right in.
What You'll paint
You’ll be creating a simplified version of Mellie’s signature floral canvases — taught in an achieveable, relaxed way so there’s plenty of time to enjoy the process. We’ll cover simple one-stroke leaves and petals, and you’ll build your finished piece step-by-step.
No pressure, no perfection — just a creative experience and your own artwork to take home.
What To Bring
You don’t need to bring anything — all the art materials you’ll need are provided and ready to go. I’ll have aprons available too, though it’s still a good idea not to wear your very best clothes, just in case a little paint escapes the brush.
You’re welcome to BYO snacks or drinks to enjoy while you paint. Light refreshments will be available.
Most importantly, come with an open mind and a gentle attitude toward yourself. This session is all about relaxing, getting creative, and enjoying the moment — not perfection.
