Watch this video for a great view of what goes on in the "Studio Club" that I belong to. This is one of the best things I've done to improve my art. Last week was particularly good. I walked in there with a painting I didn't care for and walked out with one I was happy with. The feedback from my fellow artists really helped. This interaction is one of the most wonderful things about painting with other people.
