lilladrawingNL Make Art That Sells Three things NEVER to do for a brilliant art career

Three things NEVER to do for a brilliant art career

There are three things NEVER to do for a brilliant art career: 1.) Stop learning new things. Keep drawing the same things over and over. 2.) Don’t make a lot of art. Stay uninspired and don’t make time for new work. 3.) Don’t keep up with what art directors & successful artists have to say.   But if you DO want a brilliant art career, take MATS and supercharge your art! Perhaps you want to increase your sales on Etsy with new and better work. Or maybe you want to learn about new markets. Perhaps your career has stalled and you want to get reinvigorated. Maybe you want to try something new. Or maybe you just plain love being surrounded by all that great support and inspiration. Lilla doing one of the things she does best! Why should you take one of our popular self-paced MATS A / MATS B

Tell us a little about how you got started in art and design After years of being in advertising, then starting my own business, I suddenly had a powerful insight: that I was an artist, and I needed to do something about it. I fell in love with painting, and committed to sitting down at my kitchen table every day and making art like my life depended on it. I basically went from Square 0 (non-existent drawing and painting skills) to…something much better :) Lilla always says “People

KRISHNAA SHYAM Krishnaa launched a kickstarter campaign last week to manufacture her silk scarves. Krishnaa writes: MATS taught me to always believe in yourself and go after what you want. To know that constantly working and pushing yourself out of you comfort zone can lead to delightful and interesting results. MATS also helped me as an individual to never give up and that every artist has something original and special to offer. Read Krishnaa’s Alumni Success interview here.
