A course by Laura Cuadros
Laura Cuadros has been drawing and painting for as long as she can remember. Thanks to studying fashion design, she has developed a keen eye for details and textures and has become an expert in recreating those realistic details in her oil portraits and landscapes. As a self-taught artist, she continuously develops and improves her technique by watching other artists while she paints.
She works on commission for private clients as well as for brands like Bobbi Brown, Banana Republic, Absolut Vodka, and Levi's. She aims to capture the beauty of nature in her work and display in places where these images are unfamiliar as a way of promoting care and respect for nature itself.
