Description
Discover how to turn your artwork into simple, sellable products while developing your own creative style.
Led by a practising artist, this course explores how acrylic painting can be used to create items such as greeting cards, postcards, and small art prints. You will also learn how to present and promote your work, develop a brand, and explore different ways to share and sell your creations.
Each session includes a short presentation alongside practical studio work. You will experiment with ideas, create a small collection of designs, and gain an introduction to platforms such as Canva, Instagram, and Etsy.
By the end of the course, you will have a set of finished pieces, and a clearer understanding of how your creative skills could be developed into a potential source of income.
