Can I access Make Art That Sells courses from any device?  Yes, you can access our courses from any device once registered, but we strongly recommend viewing our courses on a desktop or laptop for the best user experience. We pack lots of information and visuals into our courses and they are best viewed on larger screens.

Does this class contain live reviews?

No, this class is self-paced. For courses that include live reviews of a selection of student work please see our live courses here.

No, but this will be a great complement to any other Make Art That Sells courses.

Is this new material or has it been covered in other Make Art That Sells courses?

This is a course with original content. Lilla previously did live reviews on Periscope for over a year, to an audience of 20,000+ followers! We’ve taken that demand & turned it into a self-paced course. However, if you are interested in character development you should definitely take Illustrating Children’s Books.

I’ve never taken an online class before. How does it work? Do I need to be at my computer at a certain time? The course happens in a password-protected private classroom right here on this site. It is self-paced, so as soon as you register you will have access to the course(s) you purchase, via your account on this site. The beauty of an online course is that you can check in whenever you like and do not need to be online at a specific time as the content will be available 24/7, so it does not matter what time zone you are in. You can log on every day if you choose, or set aside some time once or twice a week to work through it. There will also be a private community space where you can connect with others and share images of your work. You will have access to the classroom until January 31, 2025, so you have plenty of time to go back through everything at your own pace. The community space will remain open indefinitely.

What format is the class taught in? The class is taught using video. Everything is made available in a bespoke, password-protected private classroom.

Does it matter what order I take the courses in? All of the Make Art That Sells courses are unique & designed to be taken in any order you choose. You can take each course individually or take them all to put a rocket under your creative career! If you take all the Make Art That Sells courses, you’ll have a ton of pretty terrific portfolio pieces.

How much is it and how do I register? The course cost is displayed under the course title. Click “Add to cart” to register. If a course is not yet on sale, click “Join waiting list” and we will be in touch to let you know when the next course is on sale.

I see the prices are given in GBP (British pounds). Can I pay in another currency? Absolutely! We have students from all over the world! All payments are made via PayPal and courses are priced in GBP £ as we are headquartered in the UK. Any approximate $ equivalents given are for reference only. You will be charged in your local currency at the prevailing PayPal exchange rate– so if you have a USD$ bank account the funds will be removed in USD$.

What payment methods do you accept? We process all our payments with PayPal, a safe and secure way of sending money online. If you do not have a PayPal account you can sign in as a PayPal guest and pay via credit or debit card. All class fees are in GBP (British pounds) but you will automatically be charged in your local currency at the prevailing PayPal exchange rate valid at the point you sign up.

I don’t live in the USA. Is this course relevant for me? Lilla Rogers represents artists internationally and has lots of international clients. Although the main buyers for art in the markets covered are in the US as it’s the largest & most lucrative market, much of the content is relevant for you wherever in the world you are, especially if you are interested in selling your work internationally. And because everything is made available to you online, it does not matter what time zone you are in.
