Lilla here. I’ve been dreaming up a few imaginary creatives who would be a perfect fit for Inner Circle, my new small group mentoring intensive—and I’ve been sharing them with you over the past few days. Consider this a little inspiration for how this transformative experience could help you!
If you missed my earlier emails, catch up here:
#1 The illustrator who needs a guide to help them shine
#2 The fired up activist who’s ready to make a difference
#3 The potential picture book artist who’s dreaming big
#4 The dreamy illustrator who wants to make money from their art
You join Inner Circle because you love painting florals, but you’re unsure whether to use watercolor, gouache, or digital. You’re open to experimenting, but you also want to refine your skills and make your paintings truly beautiful. Plus, you’re not sure how to monetize them.
We explore gorgeous greeting cards, ceramic plates, and wall art—perfect markets for floral imagery. Looking at your favorite pieces, I notice you have a gift for color. We discuss rich, muted tones and how adding pops of color can brighten your compositions. You’re excited about this and just needed that push. We design an experiment for you to paint ferns and mushrooms using watercolor, gouache, and Procreate, allowing you to explore what feels best and to discuss your findings at our next session.
Next, we explore different containers for your bouquets, researching vintage and contemporary vases, which sparks fresh ideas and inspiration. We plan a series of four floral bouquet paintings designed as a box set of cards or wall art. You feel super motivated, clear on your goals, and excited about your next steps.
When we meet again, I’m delighted by what you’ve created. I give you the name of a creative director at a fabulous stationery company who I think will love your work, and I tell you to mention that I suggested you reach out.
Is this you? Are you ready to start making real money from making pictures? It’s what I did for the artists I represented for 30 years – now let me do it for you too. Find out more and sign up here.
