Painting at LAS!

Updated: Dec 14, 2024

With over 100 clicks on the reel we uploaded just yesterday, it confirms something we’ve long suspected: far more people are looking in on our page than the usual clicks on posts might indicate—and that’s truly exciting! Hello and welcome to everyone visiting! Feel free to look around and call us anytime with questions. As you can see from Greg’s outstanding teaching practices, we truly focus on teaching students how to paint, and the results speak volumes. The student work featured in the reel represents up to 10 years of dedication and practice here at Lavender Art Studios!


A quick note about competitions: we’ve never entered our studio for business awards. For us, the greatest reward comes from the daily accomplishments of maintaining excellent studio practices and achieving the best outcomes for our art students. Our work stands on its own, and we don’t seek external recognition to validate what we do.

Our students go on to achieve amazing things, becoming accomplished visual artists, graphic designers, architects, digital professionals, and even movie set designers. The real-world accomplishments of our students, both in and out of the art studio, highlight their continued creative achievements. These successes validate the work we do. Our studio’s foundation is built on our real experience and our real results, and we are proud of the paths our students take. Thank you for your support and interest in what we’re creating here at Lavender Art Studios!

Significant horizontal brush strokes within the large geometric pattern beautifully unify the complementary colors in both the subject matter and the broader artwork.
