We welcomed back an old friend in Mike Skidmore on Tuesday evening. However, rather than a demonstration, he was here to give us a critique on members’ latest art works.

Mike gave us a very informative and useful critique with suggestions as to where our paintings could be improved, but also, and just as importantly, he pointed out areas where the paintings had succeeded.

About 40 members were present to hear Mike’s critique, and there were almost 40 paintings to consider. There was no time left at the end for Mike to select his favourites.

We look forward to inviting Mike back again in the near future.
