Tatiana Sholokhova At Pampered Palette 2012

What can I say about this weekend's seminar with Tatiana. What a fantastic weekend with some very talented and fun individuals. Everyone had an absolute blast and their pieces they have painted are stunning and breathtaking. Those are the...
words that come to my mind.

This beautiful piece is painted using DecoArt's Traditions acrylic colors on either a 24" x 19" Metal or Wooden tray. We had attendees from California, Oregon, Ohio, Florida, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia. Alabama, North Carolina, Indiana, Kentucky, South Carolina, and New Jersey.

Please enjoy the pictures from the final day of the seminar. They are great. Please join us next year with Tatiana. We will have Tatiana back at our studio in August 2013 (August 23, 24 & 25, 2013) for another beautiful/fantastic Zhostovo seminar. I cannot wait.
