Interactive Online Critiques:

To get to that “next level” you’ll sometimes need the constructive feedback of an experienced critic/fellow artist to drive your work forward. Critiques will help you grow as an artist and help you develop your work. Hear what is working in your art and ask for input on your current challenges. You’ll receive an overall evaluation of your artwork's strengths and weaknesses and a clear idea of how to move forward with your art by FCA Associate Member Kit Bell. 

About Kit Bell, AFCA: 

Born in Vancouver, B.C. Kit attended the University of British Columbia, graduating with a Bachelor of Science in 1974. Throughout her life, Kit has always drawn and painted and although her professional career took her into the world of computers, art always remained a strong interest.

Kit moved to Ottawa, Ontario after graduating from UBC where she began to paint landscapes in oil. She was represented by the Inspiration Art Gallery in Ottawa and by the Firehall Gallery in Perth, Ontario. She took the opportunity to study at the Ottawa School of Art and exhibited her work at the BCAL Clothesline Fair in Ottawa (a juried show) for several years. 
 

After moving to Kelowna, BC in 1992, a busy career prevented her from pursuing art for nearly 15 years. Returning a few years ago to painting, Kit has picked up where she left off. Continuing to expand her knowledge and develop her technique and vision, she enjoys both painting on location and working in her studio.

Student Testimonials:   

• "Kit communicated clearly and her comments were thoughtful, detailed but   concise and really zeroed in on the essence of the paintings."

• "Kit gave me a few things to consider and to think about and a direction to take. It was very helpful." 

• "I liked how we got to hear Kit's critique of all the paintings and not just ours. I think Kit's comments were all very constructive and I especially liked hearing things that could improve my own work going forward. I would love to do it again with a couple paintings now that I have a little more insight into composition. I think she was very informative." 

• "I learned a lot more about composition! Very helpful information was presented. Thank you Kit Bell :-)"

• "Thanks to Kit for taking the time to prepare so much thoughtful criticism for each artist. Much appreciated."

• "Kit was very encouraging and gave specific suggestions on how to improve work. Would definitely do this again."
