Pastel Painting Evaluations
Each of us has encountered, somewhere along the painting process, a stumbling block. Something just isn't right. You can try to sneak-up on it, look backwards in a mirror, stand on your head or otherwise try to trick it into revealing the problem...to no avail. Perhaps you want to generally improve your work or have it looked at with fresh eyes. In either or both cases, I am offering an opportunity to receive feed-back on your pastel paintings. Each work will be assessed on the following components: technique, composition, value and color. A written review will be provided.
The fee for the preview of two works is $25.00, payable at PayPal.
Once your transaction is complete, you will return to a web page on this site with instructions for mailing your images to dawnemillerart@gmail.com.
I look forward to seeing your artwork. |

"Each is given a bag of tools,
A shapeless mass and a book of rules;
and each must make, ere life is flown,
A stumbling block or stepping stone."
