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
