I run a critique service that works from photos. Our teachers include one
of the founders of the National Sculpture Society, members of the Pastel
Society of America, etc. and all of us are national submissions jurors.
So far, I'm the only one of us on-line (hence the use of photos!). I'm
willing to give critiques from downloaded images (representational work)
but suggest you visit our site, first for details
(http://members.aol.com). Unfortunately, we must charge for the service
because the profits go to a non-profit art group, but I'm beginning to
think that there's a need for this on-line critique service out there and
perhaps the fees could be adjusted. I'd appreciate any input on the
idea...

Thanks Lynn, but I'm more interested in finding a bunch of artists who
would like to get together to critique work among ourselves, not pay
someone to do it.

Richard - I wish you luck with this. It's a good idea as long as you
realize that you might get what you don't pay for. I would like to get
the free opinions of "a bunch of artists", too if I felt they really knew
what they were talking about (ie: more than I know), otherwise, why
bother? Our 'critiques' are really art lessons given by some nationally
known artists. They take an average of four hours, per piece, to write,
(hence the fee charged) and have helped many artists progress. Again, I
wish you luck finding help with your work but I'm afraid, at some point
you're going to have to (as you put it) "pay someone to do it".
whaddya care?

Why should people "know more" than you in order for their opinion to be
worthwhile ? it would imply that there is a linear scale in arts, that
there is an ultimate goal that is the same for everyone, and that different
people achieve different degrees on that scale. Is that really what you
think ? come on, get real !
It seems that the problem if you ask "a bunch" of people for their opinion,
there will be a lot of "it sucks" or "it is great"... Which obviously
doesn't help, and can be quite distressing.

so it is the mere fact that they are nationally known that qualifies them
for the purpose ?

why couldn't Richard William Haynes post his scans to this group for us to
give it a try ?

I certainly don't want the opinions of people who know less than me -- I
get enough of that already.
