Beth Haizlip of the Art Guild of Orange Park holds a monthly critique session at her house, open to any members of the AGOP. You are allowed to bring up to three paintings and put them up on an easel for critiquing. It's a great experience. Beth has a wonderful eye, and the other members often have valuable comments to add as well.
In Beth's own words:
You man bring up to 3 paintings to be critiqued. I will put the painting up on an easel and anyone is free to comment, good or bad. You must have thick skin - but this will help you become a better artist.
I've been going to them for the last few months, and find them a fun and valuable experience. I'm always in awe of the work done by other AGOP members! This was the last session before the summer break, and I brought the three "barn" paintings I had done this past week. The feedback was great and I've made some changes to the paintings as a result. Some of the critiques - such as my clouds - I had noticed myself. But some of the other advice was not something I would have thought of. So I always learn something new.
