FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Q: Do I need prior art experience to take a class?
A: No. However, to get the most out of classes such as portraiture in watercolor some prior art experience is beneficial
(drawing, etc.).
Q: What materials do I need for class?
A: See the watercolor or oil supply list provided in the links at the top of this page.
Q: What about art stuff I currently have, can't I get by with that?
A: The materials I recommend are a suggestion -- there are many good manufacturers of quality materials. Inferior materials
will lead to inferior results. If you are in doubt, bring what you have to the first session, and we can go over your items.
Q: Watercolor classes are listed, but what about oil or acrylic classes?
A: Oil and acrylic is currently only taught through private lessons. However, plein-air oil workshops are often scheduled
in the spring and fall. Email me for details on the next class.
Q: Do you teach private lessons?
A: Yes, see below.
Private Lessons:
Private Lessons are taught in: watercolor, drawing, water-mixable oil, and acrylic. Foundation elements of art such as
color theory, and picture composition are also covered. An effort is made to mix what the instructor feels the student
is ready for and encouragement for the current level of artwork achieved. Critique on an individual level can be especially
rewarding to those not sure of direction, or that have reached a 'plateau' in their work.
Private Lessons have limited openings. Please contact the artist for details: lashleys (at) mail.com - don't forget a subject line such as 'art lessons.' (fix the email, it's spelled this way to prevent spam)

My classes focus
on a painterly approach to art. Students learn to relax and enjoy the painting experience through exercises, lectures, demonstrations,
critiques, and lots of painting time. Individual artistic styles are encouraged. Loosen up and learn to love spontaneous techniques
that can yield wonderful results! Achieve sparkling, clear colors and learn to paint wet-in-wet.
