In Episode 31 of The Composed Artist, host Stephanie Gaffney discusses the importance of critiques for artists, particularly for live wedding painters. She emphasizes the difference between academic or studio critiques and those for live painting, where time constraints, changing environments, and client requests play significant roles. 

Stephanie shares her experience hosting group critiques in her "Wedding Painters Blueprint" course, highlighting how feedback can lead to rapid improvement and new perspectives.

She encourages artists to join critique groups, whether online or in person, and to be generous members of the community in doing so. Rare insights for artists of any level and stripe!
