Mentoring for live painters, artists, illustrators
Started your creative business just now? Or maybe you've been trying out things for a while. Are you looking for someone who can provide one-on-one mentoring, personally guide you and answer your specific questions? Someone who lives and breathes these niches, who can think along?
An an experienced creative, I know first hand how challenging - and exciting! - it can be to build your business from scratch, see the baby of your own creativity and entrepreneurship, your ideas come to life. You try some stuff, make mistakes, gather all of your courage to try again and continue. There's no need to personally having to reinvent the wheel; someone with experience can help guide you.
I've been a professional illustrator for over eleven years, of which more than seven years I've been live wedding painting. I moderate two communities of colleagues, and know what is up. But you've landed on this page, so a long salespitch is superfluous. I don't like being salesy. I have autism and communicate quite directly and literally - so if you'd like to work with me: great! It's not about me, its about you(r work).

Topics we could go over together, for example:
- Starting as an illustrator / live painter
- Feedback on your portfolio, doing practice projects
- Specific tips or questions about drawing and painting, materials, software, set-up
- Marketing, social media, SEO, set of fresh eyes on your website
- How your ideal clients are going to find you
- Contracts, documents
- How to calculate a fitting price for your services
- Creative entrepreneurship
- Confidence as a creative
- The creative and/or wedding sector
Option 1: ​Three months offer
Spread out over three months, we meet three times. If you're in the Netherlands (or just over the border), one of those can be a face-to-face meeting in real life, the rest are videocalls of 1,5 hour, through Zoom. I don't offer internships on site - I don't bring anybody with me to weddings or courtrooms.
Such a bundle of sessions differs from person to person, we will tailor the topics and shape of the sessions specifically to you(r questions and practice). After each session, you will receive a document with a to do-list and tips.
700,- excl. VAT
