Review of Serena Barton, January 02, 2009
I've been in Serena's women's art group for over a year. What I love about Serena's style is that she makes art very approachable. She makes art about experimentation, discovery, and play rather than perfecting techniques and getting critiqued. The group has a casual, spunky, fun, accepting atmosphere that I enjoy. Experimentation is encouraged and if you don't like something you made - hey, paint over it!
She is definitely not an "art school" type of instructor, which I really like. At the same time, I have learned specific techniques, like how to make altered books and how to paint faces. But I learned it in a way that wasn't intimidating and scary. And while we don't do critiques in the group, we do share and appreciate each others work, and talk about what we see in it, which I find illuminating.
