MATS Home Decor Student Showcase part 3 {2016 class}

We are so proud of our wonderful Make Art That Sells alumni and are pleased to showcase a series of gorgeous student work that was produced in our May session of Creating Collections for Home Décor *** KATE BILLINGSLEY This is my collection of teacups, saucers and plates for ceramics week. It combines detailed gold linework with flashes of watercolour against rich jewel tones. This was the week I had a few revelations, and I finally figured out my art style. I tend to go for darker, richer colours as a rule, but this was also the week I finally understood why contrast is so important – hence the paler parchment background to make everything pop.

MATS Home Decor Student Showcase part 2 {2016 class}

We are so proud of our wonderful Make Art That Sells alumni and are pleased to showcase a series of gorgeous student work that was produced in our May session of Creating Collections for Home Décor *** JULIET JAMES This is my presentation sheet for MATS Home Decor, wood/mdf week. The theme was Paris Love Nest and this piece shows my ideas for surface design and finishing techniques for a collection of wood items. It’s my favourite because it was for the final week of the course, at which point I felt my ideas finally clicking into place. It was the turning point in defining what I feel is “my” style. How did the Home Décor class help you grow? The course was incredibly intense and a huge learning curve, so I had to really think on my feet and work very quickly, whilst taking on board how to improve

We are so proud of our wonderful Make Art That Sells alumni and are pleased to showcase a series of gorgeous student work that was produced in our previous session of Creating Collections for Home Décor *** JAMIE KALVESTRAN This image includes one of my favorite items from each of the five substrates developed in the MATS Home Decor course. Textile Quilt or tablecloth, Ceramic Tea Set, Metal Perforated Candle Holder, Glass Embossed Bottle, Wooden Serving Tray. How did the Home Décor class help you grow? Oh my gosh, I hate to admit it but I was one of those people who slapped the same artwork on everything. I learned bucket loads about presentation, how to make your artwork stand out, what an art director looks for in a collection and how you can make their job easier. (which means they will want to work with you again) Q2. What did

The Life of an Artist Q&A—FREE download! I answer the big questions.

Here I am in Brighton, England for the filming of an e-course. I’ve made my living as a creative entrepreneur since 1984, and I have a lot to say about making a living as an artist. I’ve taught thousands of students, mentored dozens of artists that I represent, and had my own art career, so I have plenty of opinions. I’ve seen the good, bad, ugly and weird. My students in Make Art That Sells e-courses have asked me hundreds of questions over the years, and I’ve put some of my favorite Q & A’s on a free downloadable for you, called Lilla on Life as an Artist. I find that I am often asked the same questions over and over. Here are some of the top ones I’m asked, and I answer them for you in the downloadable PDF: Q: I am my own harshest critic. How do
