If you’re not familiar with Cecilia’s beautiful bouquets of bursting color, be prepared to enjoy learning about her fresh, loose style of painting. Right during daffodil and tulip season students will have a chance to use tempera paint to explore painting fresh flowers through a series of warm up exercises. The instructor, Cecilia Rolando, teaches this class each May out of her love of flowers. No experience necessary.

Using tempera paints with many vibrant colors is a wonderful approach that is more forgiving than transparent watercolors and may bring back memories of grade school painting and experimenting. Feel free to bring your favorite brushes, sponges, or other tools.
