#110 CRITIQUE – IMAGE ADJUSTMENTS WITH KATE
In this month’s Critique, we looked at Image Adjustments. Seeing how paintings can be improved is one of the fastest ways to learn how to improve your own work. Coach Kate walked us through her thinking as she showed how images can become stronger.

Thanks Kate. Your feedback has been invaluable. I have not thought of using collage to make rock like shapes so that has given me a new direction. I have been moving house and towns so have been offline for a few weeks. May I wish you all a blessed Christmas season. Warm wishes Cakkie Lou.
Love how you push directions, look at options and explain why various elements may or may not work. Beautifully done. Definitely work a second watch at some point. Thank you!
Kate, you knocked this out of the park! You are really really good at this. Thank you!
Artists-appreciate your vulnerability, honesty and beautiful creations.
Hi Kate,
What an amazing artist you are. All these paintings varied a great deal from each other. Yet you went in to each one and tackled its issues. I was just so amazed by the bold treatments that you came up with for each one. Along the way you dropped nuggets of useful advice. Thank You
This was a great critique! Your suggestions for adjustment really spoke to me and your explanations were clear. You were able to be both encouraging and honest. Hope to see many more of your critiques, and as far as I’m concerned they can all be solo!
Thank you!
Thank you Kate and to all the artists who put their work forward.
Very helpful critique! Loved every moment, your suggestions are so helpful and easy to understand.
Thank you so much for your wonderful suggestions and encouragement on my piece! It has been a journey and I can see the end in sight now!
Your right Kate there was some brillant nuggets of information and so helpful in seeing how we can make our own paintings work better There was some fabulous work on show for the image adjustments they all should be very proud of what they have achieved so far
It’s great that we can safely show our work in this way to help and encourage us all and learn so much You did a wonderful job on these image adjustments thankyou for all your explanations which were invaluable
I am so pleased Debra, you have obviously worked very hard on this portrait and I know that the family involved will be thrilled with it.
I found this a wonderful hour of intelligent, kind, interesting critiquing. Kate’s suggestions were so helpful and her reasonings for her tweaks and changes were even more so. Thank you to those folks who put their work forward and to Kate for such generous, thoughtful comments.
This was such a perfectly formed critique!
Loved the range of artwork chosen and the image adjustments were thoughtful and sensitively done.
Thank you!
