Testimonials: What Artists Are Saying about the Experience
The online critiques with Charles Weed and Tim Allen helped me progress my landscape paintings significantly over the period of the course. I felt supported and motivated to keep working on my landscapes in between sessions. I pushed myself and my paintings more than I would have had I been working on my own, and I built confidence in my painting as a result of the critiques and the progress I felt I was making.
I could directly implement the feedback right after the sessions, and I could go back to the critiques by way of replaying the videos, which was also very helpful. The input was applicable to all styles and types of subject matter, and I greatly benefited from the course. Also, hearing the critiques of the other students also helped progress my understanding of subject matters other than the ones I presented, such as still life, figure and portraiture. Thank you Charles and Tim!
Charles Weed is perceptive and articulate, erudite yet unpretentious.
For painters in a creative rut, or unsure of how to proceed with their art, Charles offers a reasoned perspective that will bring your focus back to picture-making.
Highly recommended!
Setting Expectations: Some Words from Charles Weed
“Each of the four sessions will consist of a nuanced analysis of construction, value relationships, unity of effect, and color, particularly in its relationship to value.
There will first be a collective assessment of all of the participants’ work, with common strengths and weaknesses addressed, and then each work will be discussed individually.
The critiques will be candid and constructive, focusing on concrete, useable information, always taking into account where I feel each participant is in his or her development.
Those of you looking for a unique interactive opportunity to continue your pictorial development within a community of like-minded peers might find this to be a good opportunity.”
—Charles Weed
