Art With Larisse in Santee's Carlton Hills district teaches structured drawing and painting courses across pastel, charcoal, watercolor, and oil mediums. The studio occupies Suite 5 at 9225 Carlton Hills Blvd within the Carlton Oaks Shopping Center, sharing the complex with Kaffee Meister and other family-oriented tenants. Founded in 2001, the program uses a tiered curriculum that advances students through graduated skill levels rather than standalone drop-in sessions. The sequential system takes participants from fundamental line work at age four and a half through advanced oil-painting technique in adulthood, running alongside the belt-progression training at Infinity Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in the same commercial center. Individual instruction within classes capped at six to eight students covers perspective rendering, chiaroscuro shading, color-wheel theory, and compositional framing across a three-studio network spanning Santee, La Mesa, and Bonita.
