February 2021 Demonstration - Leah Lawless-Smith
In February our demonstration artist will be Leah Lawless-Smith, local artist and member of the Ellis County Art Association.
Leah earned her Bachelors of Fine Art from East Texas State University and attended a Summer in London at King’s College studying art. She also has a Master’s of Science in Art from Texas A&M University-Commerce in sculpture and a teaching certificate from Stephen F. Austin University. She has been teaching for eighteen years at public school and college and currently teaches art at Ennis High School. Leah lives in the historic town of Waxahachie Texas and has been apart of the Waxahachie Historic Society.
During the February demonstration Leah will be showing a painting in three processes of completion. The first beginning stages will be just showing blocking in areas with acrylic paint. The second stage of painting will be adding a watercolor technique with acrylic paint showing layering. And the third stage will be showing different techniques in stenciling. Also during the demonstration I'll be talkin about products and cleaning your paint brushes and storing them.
Leah's work can seen at Art on the Square in Waxahachie, Irving Art Center, Gallery Plaza of the Americas in Dallas. Please visit Leah's website to view and learn more about her artwork: www.leahlawlesssmith.com.
