Welcome to the PPIO Critique Page

The pieces you see here are those of brave souls who submitted their artwork for suggestions and discussion. We thank them for their courage.   ( It's not easy to put your"baby" out there on an open forum and allow people to throw verbal rocks at it.)
Since one picture is worth a thousand words, we think that this new critique feature will be very educational for both new painters and experienced artists alike.

Critique Ground rules:

  1. You need to be a member of the Free Chinapaint mailing list in order to send your comments to the list.  If you are not a member and would like to join, email Marci Blattenberger at rxguitar@comcast.net and she will sign you up.

  2. To view the current critique piece, click on the link below.....

  3. You will also see a little bit of information about the artist  (who will remain un-named until the critique is over)  which will give you some background about their experience and skill level.

  4. When you have carefully looked over the piece, you can click on the email link below to send an email to the mailing list with your suggestions and comments.  Remember, the more specific the comments, the better....and also, while those who are presenting their work here are expecting and welcoming criticism, please be nice about it.  (Nasty or hateful critiques will get you removed from the mailing list.)

  5. Your critique to the mailing list MUST BE SIGNED.  (The only one allowed to remain anonymous is the artist)

  6. If "Critique No. (and the current critique number) is not in the Subject line of the email popup screen, or if you are not using the Chinapaint email link below, please put "Critique #_____" in the subject line of your email.  (Each critique painting will be numbered.  Using that number when you critique it will help us keep the proper comments with the proper painting).

  7. At the end of the critique period, the piece and all of the comments about it will be archived on the Members Logon pages of PPIO and the artist's name, (if they so choose), will be revealed.

THANK YOU to the artists who have sent in work to be critiqued ....and to those who will send in their suggestions and comments.
