Artists often ask for “feedback” when they actually need different things. A critique diagnoses one stage of a work. Coaching stays with you while you finish it. Choosing wrong wastes money — or leaves another canvas unfinished.

What an art critique is good for

You finished a piece (or a strong draft) and want a clear read
You need composition / value / technique notes you can apply yourself
You want human eyes — not an AI “rate my art” score

Our free program replies by email within about 48 hours. Details and submit form: free art feedback.

What art coaching is good for

You restart paintings instead of closing them
You need accountability across sketch → mid → finish
You want multiple paint-over rounds on the same artwork
You may want optional open-call prep tips (no acceptance promise)

That is Artwork Completion Coaching: about 4–6 weeks, one artwork, $279.

A simple decision rule

If you can act on one strong critique alone → start free (or Express if you need speed).
If you already know the notes but still cannot finish → coaching.
If you are brand new and only want a first opinion → free feedback first; buy coaching later if you commit to one serious piece.

Why we separate the products

Mixing “unlimited critiques” with “finish one masterpiece” confuses everyone. Free and Express protect a clear critique experience. Coaching protects depth: the teacher’s job is completion of one work, not a pile of unrelated uploads.

Submit for a free critique, or enroll in coaching if finishing is the real goal.
