January 19 – Critique Session with Anne Kiefaber
Bring two pastel paintings you would like to have critiqued. This is a good opportunity to get feedback on statewide entries or anything else you choose. Anne, our PSNC Treasurer, is an accomplished pastelist and teacher. She will lead the session. Should you choose to have more feedback from the rest of the group, she will moderate and assure the comments are constructive. The session should be interesting and beneficial to all attenders.
