Spring in Bloom: Cherry Blossom Concrete Tray Painting with Olga Kardonova

Step into a serene, spring-inspired painting experience centered around handcrafted concrete trays, individually made by the artist. Each tray features soft, neutral tones, offering a beautiful, modern canvas for a one-of-a-kind painted design.

In this guided workshop, you’ll paint delicate cherry blossom branches or soft floral clusters, using acrylic paints in gentle pinks, warm whites, and subtle natural accents. The class is guided step by step—from brush techniques and color blending to creating light, airy blossoms and elegant branches. Pre-drawn outlines will be provided to support your composition, making the experience enjoyable for all skill levels.

Enjoy a calm, intimate atmosphere as you create at your own pace with thoughtful artistic guidance throughout. Once completed, your tray will be professionally sealed for durability, leaving you with a refined, functional art piece that blends craftsmanship, beauty, and springtime elegance.
