I see it as something like an apprenticeship.
Charles Gleyre was a well-established painter in the mid 1800’s. He had a studio in Paris, and painters flocked to his studio because he had an open door, and because he let them pay whatever they could afford to share the studio with him and receive his critiques and person guidance. Artists like Monet, Whistler and Fantin-Latour all credit that shared studio environment as instrumental to their emergence.
Our studio classes are half day where you can come and just paint whatever you like, in whatever medium you want, but WITH me, and as you need help, I give it. Any demos or lectures will just be spontaneous instead of scheduled, although I will always have a painting going so you can watch as much as you want.
1:00 to 4:30 pm at the ANA Studio, 300 N. 2nd Street, Rogers
Medium: Any, although my main medium is oil colors. Here is my supply list for oil painting:

John P. Lasater IV
Born and raised in Houston, John Lasater is an acclaimed artist currently residing in the picturesque hills of Northwest Arkansas. Initially recognized for his impressionistic style and bold brushwork, Lasater has undergone transformation through extensive travels and deep historical and experimental self-studies. This evolution has led his recent works to have a more contemplative and simplified approach.
A prolific figure in the plein air scene for many years, Lasater is widely regarded as one of the premier outdoor painters in America, evidenced by his invitation to join the prestigious Plein Air Painters of America. His numerous accolades include close to 50 top awards at events such as Door County Plein Air, Sedona Plein Air, Maui Plein Air Invitational, Plein Air Southwest Salon, and the Grand Canyon Celebration of Art. While outdoor painting remains integral to his artistic process, Lasater continues to push the boundaries of his craft with unwavering dedication and passion.
