Online Group Critiques

Online Group Critiques

Online Group Critiques are held every Tuesday at 4 PM PST. They begin with individual critiques of submitted works, sometimes with visual aids or source comparisons. The critique period is followed with a special topic discussion of technical or art historical material. This may include an extensive slide show or Keynote presentation. Occasionally the special topic may include live, in-studio demonstration.

The critiques utilize the Zoom app and private, password accessible webpages. The web pages serve to aid the presentation and critique, and are archived along with a recording of the complete session. Currently there are over 50 hours of archived material, accessible by all participants enrolled in the program.
Special topic discussion of cradling techniques in Medieval and Renaissance paintings on panel.

Online Private Critiques

Online Private Critiques

Students occasionally need a “third eye,” someone that can tell them how their artwork “reads” to someone other than themselves. A critique can provide critical analysis of a painting’s composition, color, brushwork and narrative. Ongoing critiques can help the student develop the critical faculties essential to producing expressive and well executed art.
Online Private Critiques are available via a private, secured webpage.

Students of drawing and painting, and even professional artists, occasionally need a “third eye,” someone that can tell them how their artwork “reads” to an audience. It is a real advantage if that “third eye” belongs to a professionally trained artist, a draughtsman or painter, in their own right. A critique can provide critical analysis of a painting’s composition, color, brushwork and narrative. Ongoing critiques can help the student develop the critical faculties essential to producing expressive and well executed art.

This service has been developed to provide critique on a per session/painting basis, with discounts for packages of multiple sessions.. It utilizes image annotation software in order to provide a comprehensive critique of a specific painting. The critique covers positive aspects of the painting, and highlights problem areas that the student may not be aware of.

Online Private Critiques are implemented on a private website, accessible only by the artist and the student. The process begins with the student signing up for the service, at which time they will be sent a username/password for the private website. They can then upload an image or images, depending on the number of sessions, using the page’s dropbox. Once the artist has reviewed the image, an annotated version will be made available on the website.

Refund Policy for Online Critique Services: Refunds are available only in the event that the instructor is unavailable or unable to fulfill the Online Critique commitment.

Painting w/ Drone Demo

At today's plein air session I did a demonstration using drone photography as an adjunct to landscape practice. The objective was to use photographs taken at higher elevation for composition while still using observation of the landscape subject for color, detail and spontaneous effect.
