Who will get the most from this

Artists who know the basics
You have a reasonable grasp of the art world but cannot see how to reach decent prices and make a name for yourself.

Designers and illustrators
You want to move from commissions to your own practice, enter the art world and charge more for your work.

Experienced artists
You have exhibited before but lack a system and a sense of what to do next to sell at higher prices, more consistently.
