Hello members,
My new class is starting, and I will continue to set up a still-life, and instruct students with their own projects, but . . .Ever get frustrated with a watercolor you just can’t get right?&nbsp; Been there, done that.&nbsp; Some time ago I did a portrait of a niece in watercolor.&nbsp; Loved the tilt of her head and the flowers in her hair (she was a bridesmaid I think); but at that time I could not achieve the softness of her face in paint.&nbsp; So, I went over the entire work with pastels, which are soft and blend beautifully.&nbsp; Join me in class, beginning April 1, 3:30 – 5:30, for 8 weeks.&nbsp; $160 members, $200 for non-members.&nbsp; I will supply the pastels.&nbsp; Doesn’t have to be a portrait that you want to enhance, could be landscape, still-life or abstract.&nbsp; So much fun to get messy with your materials.

De Lareau Studio

I was born and raised in Toms River, and this community means everything to me. Our salon is family-owned, built on love, dedication, and the values I grew up with. I’ve been in the hair industry for over 20 years, and opening my own salon has always been a lifelong dream. I named the salon in honor of my father, who passed away last year. He was the proud dad of five daughters, and with his passing, his name would have ended with him. By giving the salon his name, I’ve created a way to keep his legacy alive and honor the strong work ethic and values he instilled in me. At our salon, we’re not just about great hair—we’re about family, community, and carrying forward a legacy of hard work and care.
