307 - Interview with Dena Ackerman
Interview with Dena Ackerman
This week John is talking to Dena, an illustrator and fine artist living in Israel. She teaches colored pencil techniques along with mixed media. I think you'll really enjoy listening to her discuss her art. Her passion for what she does really shines through in this discussion.
She talks about pricing your work, how to increase your prices, how to diversify your income, the best business advice she’s ever received!
Her advice for improvement doesn’t involve reading and collecting a bunch of books, instead she says to “Practice is the most important thing”, “learning techniques and taking classes is super important, but if you don’t practice it’s not worth anything.”
