This is an incredible class that would best be taught over 6 months. The fact that you are delving into establishing a business based on your artistic identity (which takes years to recognize and then establish as a public presence), six months of coaching and practical exercises, in my humble opinion would be a more usable applied learning practice at least for me.
i also would like to see an update from the 2020 information that is shared in this training (technology and social media are only a few things to update in our fast changing world ) and given the USA based platform, teachers and resources, a few more international resources for those of us who tune in from abroad.
otherwise this workshop is an incredible and thorough overview. Thank you Lisa who is also a very good obviously experienced teacher.
This class helped me so much! It taught me so many things that I didn't even know I needed to know. I'm so grateful to have stumbled upon it. I already applied for two of my first art competitions this month with the help from Lisa! Definitely reccomend this to any artist looking to level up in their career :)
