2. Lilla’s inimitable style
There are lots of courses out there, but as far as we know, Make Art That Sells courses are the only classes taught by a top art agent. Plus they’re highly effective: check out yesterday’s blog for some recent success stories, and we’ll be sharing still more in a couple of days.
As well as teaching Make Art That Sells courses since 2013, Lilla has also been an educator for decades, teaching everyone from kids to college students at Parsons to professional artists. She prides herself on the effectiveness of her teaching, and she works hard to make her classes enjoyable and fun so that you’re excited to do them and your joy shines through in the work that you do.
One way of doing this is to break things down into manageable chunks and to include plenty of surprises and twists along the way, so you’re always engaged in what’s coming next.
The assignments are designed to inspire and challenge you. You’ll make fresh pieces in your own style that sell to hot markets. You’re encouraged to be yourself and do it your way, in your medium.

Lilla says: “Part of the way I motivate artists is to build a level of suspense over the weeks. It’s the way I teach—to break everything down into bite-sized bits so students don’t get overwhelmed, and then to build up to the final piece. I always like to give a Mini Assignment that will bring out the best in each student. How? By making it approachable, easy to draw, but with a broad scope so there is plenty of room for diversity of styles.” Speaking of which …
3. It works for everyone, regardless of style or level
Lilla says: “Here’s the thing: I’m cool with whatever level you’re at, from beginner to full-time art professional. I’ve taught everyone from little kids to seasoned professional artists, and to be honest, I make the assignments to inspire all the above. So join us.”

Lilla adds: “My courses are for anyone who wants to have a great time making their work better and market-ready in a supportive environment. All levels, all styles are welcome. I secretly design the assignments so that everyone benefits. We have top artists in the classes as well as newbies. There’s a lot of energy in my courses, and friendships develop that last for years.” Which reminds us …
4. You get to be part of a super supportive community
Nothing is more fun that making your best artwork with a lively group of like-minded students.
Making art can sometimes be a lonely experience, but with Make Art That Sells you suddenly have a tribe of wonderful creative people who are working on the same piece of artwork that you are. You have company!
Plus you have support and inspiration, because whatever stage you’re at you’ll be able to find someone who understands where you’re at, and because it’s an incredible learning opportunity to see how other artists tackle the same assignment that you’re working on. Which brings us to …
5. Creative inspiration and original assignments for every month of the year
Imagine getting creative inspiration and original assignments from a top art agent, a creative director or a children’s book art director every month of the year – maybe a mini assignment to pique your interest and fire your creativity, an inspiring video, or a full blown assignment designed to help you create cool market-savvy art!
The subject matter for each assignment is drawn from the jobs that Lilla commissions for her own highly-successful artists. Now you can get a sneak peek at that inside information.

Lilla says: “As an art agent, I assign jobs to my artists every single day. I know what clients want to see. What they assign. What they are looking for. Which imagery, themes, and topics are hot, which color palettes are exciting, which products are selling like gangbusters, and which aren’t. So I build my assignments around those considerations.”
