Knowing how to use Color and Light in your artworks is one of the best skills to learn as an artist because it will help you take your artworks from good to great.
Key Takeaways
“If you enjoy what you do everyday, you are in a lucky space so make the most out of it!”

- David says there is no reason not to think about making money with your art. Our goal should be making money by doing what we love
- David advises that you should learn about pricing, negotiation, and operations while you are learning artistic fundamentals. They go hand in hand.
