Today, I was talking to an art critic at an exhibition. He told me that the artist had no talent and went on to tell me everything wrong with each painting. I'd painted them all. FML

Well in fairness if you got them showcased in an exhibition surely somebody finds your work good! Besides that don't let critics stop you from painting if it makes you happy.

Im sorry..you just gotta choose how to handle what he said, possibly use it as constructive criticism?

You were critisized. Learn from it. Make your art better than before, and don't stop trying.

What can I say. There are good and bad critics. You've just experienced one of the latter. But just because one critic does not prefer your style doesn't mean there's anything wrong with it. I guess as an artist who gets to showcase your work you are bound to hear this sort of thing sooner or later. We all appreciate different things and some are very specific in their tastes and like to voice their opinions loudly. Apparently some people do appreciate your art. Having some people really not like it just means that it's good art. Good art will, and I think should, divide opinions. Some people will praise you. Some will tell you that you suck. And some will give constructive remarks. Listen to them all, but don't listen too much. That's the way your art will evolve. Good luck in the future!

Sorry op :( That's what critics do and I'm sure your art is amazing. You can't take his comments personally though. He's just one guy.

Finally, an art critic that will actually say "Sorry, but this is shit, " rather than talk out of his arse, trying to dredge up reasons about why it's actually a masterpiece.

She was captured and held ransom and as a torture tactic her captures forced her to view iCarly. That is until Ezio came in and saved her. That is how her and Ezio met. They've been insuperable since.

I'm sorry, Op. :c If it makes you feel better, I suck at painting, but I can draw quite decently. Maybe you excel in other aspects of art? :D

Art is opinion something I like some one else hate or vise versa.

Dude **** what people say ^•^ There always be hatters and likers Like Leonardo da Vinci said "there are three kinds of people in this world Those who see it, those who see it when shown and lastly those who don't see it at all"

Isn't art not supposed to have right or wrong answers?

Since when is there a right and wrong way to do art?
