Natalia Andreeva, a very successful painter and teacher will be with us for lunch, Saturday, January 21, from noon to 2:00 at the Pines & Palms Cigar Factory Art Space, 1815 E. Clay St, Thomasville.  As a teacher she has learned how to give valuable painting critiques.  Natalia says, “Too often teachers worry about hurting the artist’s feelings; to me we all can be better painters by asking for teachers’ clear suggestions. That is what I will do during lunch.”   You are invited to bring one or two of your paintings for her to critique.  She will use these to explain how your painting can be stronger. The cost is $40 and includes lunch. The event must have at least 4 registrants and will have a maximum of 10 registrants.
