Belmar Critique Group

I went to the critique group in Belmar again, a much smaller group than the one that met in the Studio a few weeks ago. Still, it was a fun evening. Some people brought pieces that they didn't know how to resolve, and they got what seemed to be useful advice from the group. I showed a few things done since the last meeting in May- my print for the Global Footprints show, and a few of the better charcoal drawings from the recent May and June figure drawing sessions there at the Boatworks. They wanted an explanation for the print, so I told them the story. The consensus was that I was successful in getting my point across, in addition to making something that had much visual appeal, despite the less than appealing subject matter. They liked the charcoal drawings as well- mentioning the strength of the drawings and how I seemed to capture the phyical nature of the figures. The evening's discussion ranged over a variety of art topics as well. It's too bad that more people aren't coming, but we'll keep promoting it, and hope that to draw more for the next time.
