Artist Sounds Good! An (Un)Easy Means of Beginning to Create: A Masterclass by Anton Morokov

DESCRIPTION

Artist Anton Morokov will generously share his techniques and methods for fighting apathy and lack of self-belief for everyone who would like to be an independent artist. First, we will analyze on what and whom they are (in)dependent and whether one of those subjects is a cat. Then we will look at what to do with doubts and where in the triad “I want to create – I want to begin – I want to finish” we should focus most attention. In addition, Anton will give advice on how to balance your day and how to overcome procrastination. He will give an expert opinion on which education is most effective for being a successful artist. As a result of the meeting, each participant will receive priceless guidance on how to act.
