Students said: "This is a very informative and complex course! I was amazed by the resources, very helpful. I am a hobby crafter, I love painting and this course gave me a bit of a push to take myself more seriously. I haven't really thought about making clip arts from my watercolors...so smart! I hope I can find the ways to get a little money from what I do:) At least to support my craft hoarding:) Thank you for putting this course together. " Lisa Dunham

Are you an artist looking for ways to monetize your art?

Are you an artist who would love to get a bigger following for your art on social media?

Are you a creative who loves to paint and design things but you take it only as a hobby?

Are you an artist who creates with traditional media like graphite, watercolor, acrylics or oil and would love to digitize your artworks to create artprints?

This course is a perfect solution for all of you!

Adobe Photoshop is an amazing program with endless functions, but it can be overwhelming. There is only a limited skillset artists need in order to DIGITIZE, PRESENT and MONETIZE their art.

The course starts with the creation process where I will explain you how to research trends, how to approach an artwork before creating that is intentionally created for digitalisation to get the best results.

In the digitalisation section you will learn about the best ways to scan your artwork, how to align multiple images if the artwork exceeds the size of the scanner, how to retouch the artwork to get rid of the pencil marks, unwanted paint splatters and mistakes, how to remove backgrounds to create transparent PNGs, how to create multiple color variations and how to set the size for various social media sizes.

In the presenting section, you will learn how to create a simple mockup image from a stock photo, how to create a reusable mockup picture where you only need to change the artwork and everything will fit, how to create a complex framed wall art mockup template in which you can change backgrounds and frames as you wish, how to place your artworks on products without the need of actually producing it.

In the monetisation section you will get tips for the start, learn about the possibilities of selling art prints, digital art prints, clip art bundles, and products with your design, by Print on Demand sites, so that all you have to do is to only create amazing artwork, no need for printing, packaging and shipping.

With the Photoshop skillset gained from this course, you will be able to create amazing, high quality images for your social media to build your following, preserve your artworks so that you can keep the precious original and make it even better, create high quality art prints, give your hobby a push to make it a side hustle or a full time job.

All you need is to have Adobe Photoshop installed on your computer, even if it is a PC or a Mac.

Master these skills in Photoshop and give a kickstart to your art career!
