IS YOUR PAINTING FINISHED? IS IT THE BEST IT CAN BE?
Peter Kraus, noted author, instructor, graphic designer and fine artist will answer this and many other questions via a new, exciting way. With modern technology, Peter will project your artwork on to a TV screen. Then, using a painter computer program, he will show ways to improve the work while giving a detailed explanation.
Seeing is believing. Lo and behold, right in front of your very eyes, you will see the changes and you will be able to compare before and after. No longer will you have to wonder if you should have done this, or you should have done that. You will discover many, many reasons why some paintings get the prize and why others do not. You will also gain valuable insight into the main criteria that goes into the analysis and what constitutes a successful painting. Get involved and learn from one another. Don't miss this fun, enlightening and eye opening experience!
To have the opportunity to have your work projected, you must E-mail or mail a photo of it at least one week in advance of the event. Or, you may drop off the work at Peter's studio, where he will take a photo. Limit, one piece per person.
