critiques

Many artists have expressed interest in

ART CRITIQUES.

  • Are you working on a painting and have come to a stop and don’t know what to do next? 

  • Do you feel that something isn’t quite right, but you don’t know what? 

  • Do you want to elevate your painting to the next level?

I will review your work and discuss various solutions. It is my focus to honor your work and artistic viewpoint and help you understand other choices that you can make.  I can assist you with abstracts or representational work in oil, pastel, watercolor, and mixed media.

It is easy:

  • I will send you an email to schedule a time for the critique.
  • Then I will send you a link where you can easily upload your reference photo (jpg) (if you have one) and a photo of your painting 24 hours before our scheduled meeting.
  • We will meet on Zoom for 1 hour to discuss your painting.
  • The cost is 40 dollars for a one-to-one personal critique of up to 4 paintings. (group critiques of up to 5 individuals are available at a different rate – please inquire).  
  • Once you pay, I will email you your Zoom invitation and password and the link for uploading your work.  There is NO technology for you to buy.

In order to be productive during the critique and consider the time we have, please log on the Zoom call a few minutes early and make sure that your video and audio are connected. I will unmute you after I log on and we will begin the critique. 

If you have any questions, please shoot me an email: info@madeleinekelly.com . 

Continuing my ABSTRACT demos, this next one will be on OBJECTIVE ABSTRACTS. moving beyond the real !

I hope you will join me for a chance to open your mind and art to new possibilities. Learn to SEE in a new way.

Cost is $ 40 for ( one to one ) personal critiques

TESTIMONIALS

Madeleine,

..Your presentation was well worth the time and information that you shared yesterday. I never really understood the basics of abstract painting in any medium especially Pastel painting.  Your coverage of information has removed some of the obstacles and fears that have been in my way. I am looking forward to play with it and enjoy. And learning to go with it, being willing to change and develop with color choices in my paintings.

So thank you and look forward to Taking more of your Demos and workshops

What a wonderful demo/presentation! Thank you. It’s not easy to find soft pastel classes in abstraction. I have been doing this work for 2 years now and it seems that most pastel artists are representational.

So I was thrilled to be part of your class. I’ve been reticent to participate in Plein air as I feel quite intimidated to do my usual “organic” work but your breakdown of abstraction was quite helpful. Now I just need to get the proper equipment.

So thank you for reaching out and making sure that I could see your valuable demo. .... So great!

Best,

Hi Madeleine

I really learned a lot from this demo as abstract is not in my wheelhouse. I like the way you broke it down into  understandable pieces.

Looking forward to the next one.
