# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Russian Stroke Tray Series With Pat Smelkoff
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 14 Apr, 2026 at 10:00 am – Tue, 14 Apr, 2026 at 02:00 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: Discover the elegance and drama of the traditional Russian decorative technique known as Zhostovo in this multi-week painting series. Inspired by the beautifully hand-painted metal trays of Zhostovo painting, students will learn the signature “Russian Stroke” method used to create lush, dimensional floral designs set against rich, dark backgrounds.

Throughout the series, you’ll build skills step by step — practicing brush control, double-loading techniques, blending, highlights, and shadow work — before applying your knowledge to design and complete your own decorative tray. We’ll explore traditional compositions, color harmony, and the bold contrast that makes this style so striking.

Perfect for beginners ready to learn foundational stroke work as well as experienced painters wanting to expand their decorative painting repertoire. By the end of the course, you’ll leave with a beautifully painted tray and the confidence to continue exploring this timeless folk art tradition.
