Spring Break Art Camp: day 1
Lilla says: “Day 1 is all about traditional media. Think of these as art cocktails: I’m going to give you little tiny cocktail recipes that you can mix in your own way. We’re going to play with gouache and make some blobs before adding colored pencils and pens. We’re going to use a dip pen and some thick black ink on top, along with a little gold metallic.”

Spring Break Art Camp: day 2
Lilla told us: “Day 2 is all about colors and florals, falling in love with florals and making color stories. I have some gorgeous vintage products that we’re going to riff off and vibe off, using them to inspire our color choices. Today is going to be particularly good for anyone interested in decorating journal pages, amping up arty book pages, scenes for children’s books, and art-driven toys and games.”

Spring Break Art Camp: day 3
Lilla told us: “On Day 3 we’re going to accessorise your picture: adding borders and swirls and decoration, or what I call bonuses or frills. I have a pamphlet from the late 1800s that you’re going to love that has the most beautiful swirls and swashes and bits and pieces that we’re going to study and learn from.”

Online art courses to help your career in art and design
Since launching in 2013 Make Art That Sells has rapidly gained a reputation for the go-to online art courses for anyone serious about making commercially viable art whilst staying true to themselves.
We have been completely blown away by the response of our participants (many of whom have come back to repeat the online art courses), and have been thrilled to see huge leaps forward in their artwork.
Here are just a few of the kind words that other participants said about the impact the course had on them.
“This is the course you need to do if you want to sell your art to the masses. As far as I know its the only course like this in existence. The information is like gold dust. It’s that valuable! ”
CHANTEL DE SOUSA
“Best investment in your art career, ever.”
