I had been following online tutorials and enjoying them, but I felt stuck when it came to creating my own art. I recommend it to any artist looking to enhance their skills, develop their unique artistic style, and gain the confidence and resources needed to start selling their art both online and offline. Don't worry about the time – if I, as a busy mom with three kids, could do it, you can too!
