As you know, producing art is primarily a solitary activity. In many cases, any evaluation is limited to self-critique or the feedback of family & friends. Although there’s certainly a place for the encouragement of family and friends, an unbiased art critique is essential to artistic growth. Have you ever asked yourself the question, “what would it be like if a professional artist were to critique my art?” Finding a trusted source to provide such feedback (and provide answers to your art critique questions) can not only help you in the evaluation of your own work, but also provide the direction you need to take your art to the next level.
This online Art Critique Seminar is here to connect you with that expertise. Now you can get the specific, tailored advice you need to improve your painting and drawing skills. Betsy Dillard Stroud, award-winning artist and North Light Books author, will evaluate your work. After a thorough evaluation of your submissions, you will receive written feedback and recommendations for growth. Your questions will be answered, and Betsy will also provide art critique guidelines and examples that will help you not only learn what is working in your art, but what is not, and — most important — how to fix it.
