LZM Studio - Laurie Mann’s Artwork

Laurie’s Drawings Completed in Drawing Lessons

These drawings were drawn during Drawing Lessons with students. They often take 10-30 hours long to complete, depending on how fast the student works. I never think of these as my best work - because my attention is on my student! But they are needed to demonstrate how I build a drawing, step-by-step. All works by LZM Studio ©.

Laurie’s Commissioned Drawings

These drawings were commissions that I spent 5 to 30 hours on to complete. If you’d like to commission a drawing please use the Contact Us form. Commissions must be scheduled 2 months prior to the date you wish to have them in hand, plus mailing time. All works by LZM Studio ©

Sam & Hermey source photos *NOTE: Commissions are only as good as the source photos. My drawing of these pets are unnaturally hovering, because their sizes are quite different & their owners couldn't get them in a posed photo together.

Laurie, this image & piece is such a reflection of how I remember you! Elegant, decisive, natural, delicate & powerful at once! Love the movement, the catch of shadow & light in this piece.

Adult, Art Therapist review of Every Moment Is New
“Learning to draw with Laurie opened a new world for me. I loved learning that I can be patient and take my time and create something beautiful. Laurie is gifted in the way she explains complicated processes to make them manageable. "

Adult student of LZM Studio for 3 years
I just read the letter of recommendation you wrote for me. It was beautiful, I appreciate you so much! You’ve been such a fun and amazing teacher and friend.

Student of LZM Studio for 7 years
“Great video. I always feel like online artists are focused on getting views and doing more “interesting tutorials” and self taught artists like me don’t see the importance of these kinds of exercises, causing a stunt in artistic growth. So thank you.”

Online student
“My son developed a love for art at an early age. I wanted to give him a chance to excel at something he loved. Finding Laurie was such a blessing. Not only is she talented in her own right, but she has a way of teaching that allows an individual’s creativity to bloom. Laurie has introduce several mediums to Jonah teaching him that art can be expressed in many different ways. She is able to keep Jonah consistently on task and has a sweet, kind demeanor.”
