The Northern Arizona Watercolor Society (NAWS) has a number of critique groups, made up of watercolor artists who meet on a regular basis, usually once a month, for the purpose of showing and discussing their work. Critique meetings can be invaluable as an aid to personal growth, increased knowledge, positive reinforcement and objective opinions from the perspective and experience of other artists. To benefit from a critique group it is important for each artist to be willing to show one’s work, have a positive attitude, be open to comment and criticism and freely contribute to the meetings.
Current NAWS Critique Groups are as follows, with the general area as to where their meetings are held:
High Country – Flagstaff
Cottonwood – Cottonwood/Clarkdale
Elote – Cornville
Uptown Artistocrats – Sedona
Camp Verde – Camp Verde/Rimrock
Aquarelles – Sedona
Throughout the year, these critique groups show their artwork at the NAWS General Meetings.
If you are interested in joining a critique group please contact Scotti Ruhlman, NAWS Critique Groups Director, at sruhlman@npgcable.com or 928-284-0756.
