Peer critiques

Yesterday I had the fun opportunity to join a few of my peers for a group critique session (actually, all three of them are substantially further along in their careers, which made it even more important for me). The group met at Mike Malm's amazing new studio. It was quite helpful to get the group's consensus on problems I was facing in my own paintings (it was equally helpful to hear why they felt other paintings worked well). Also helpful to me was to hear and offer critiques on the works of the others involved. Needless to say, it was a fun and very valuable experience, and I look forward to next time.
