THE GROUP CRIT !!
Thoughts on yesterdays group crit. … emotionally, intellectually draining…. actually quite scary at times….probing questions by tutors elliciting really surprising, illuminating revelations…. Suppose that’s what it was meant to do??? It succeeded !!
Ultimately very useful. My many varied attempts to free myself and move on from a lifetimes ingrained habits of observational drawing; stilted academic, figurative painting were analysed and taken apart.
I think, subconsciously, I had begun to come to similar conclusions The validation of these thoughts was what was needed to encourage confidence and bravery to take more chances. There’ll be no going back now – I can’t spare the time.
