Join us for a live critique session! I present creative ideas and then I select about 10 student paintings for critique. The focus is on CREATIVE STRUGGLES: breaking free of the photo, finishing a painting, what to paint, and creative blocks or bad patterns.
Artists mentioned in program: Arthur Streeton, James Reynolds, Edgar Payne, T. Allen Lawson, Kathryn Statts
