I believe I'm entitled to call my own opinion unqualified. I said my friend was qualified to give artistic critiques which is she as she does so professionally. No, she didn't give a complete detailed critique on the technique of the piece because she was doing a friend a quick favor while she had the time.
I never said everyone's opinion was unqualified just my own. I can look at a piece and say 'I like it' or 'I don't like it.' but I can't draw and have no concept of what it takes to create a picture. I'm not qualified to comment on technique. Please don't put words in my mouth.
I also never said she wasn't a professional artist as well as an art teacher. I only mentioned her background as a teacher as a way of saying she gives artistic critique as part of her career. Those who can't, teach but those who can create great art and pass on what they know.
