Inspiring book - we as artists can make it!
Cay Lang's writing style is wonderfully witty - such a joy reading this book. I loved the quotes interspersed throughout the book, food for thought. It is very informative book, following her instruction can make anyone succeed in creating art and showing it. Her words are always so encouraging, even when I felt the least creative, this book got my art making moving. And then came the creativity. It is mostly practice and hard work, we all can do it!

Inspiration!
After being in a creative slump for about a year this is the book that inspired me to pick up my brushes again! I had these horrible thoughts of how difficult it would be to even attempt to make it as an artist but "Taking the Leap" eased my mind. It takes you step by step through everything you need to know and what you need to have ready to start your career. I learned how to properly photograph my art (I can't afford a photographer!) and how to set up my portfolio. There are also inspiring quotes from artists or pertaining to art to help get you through. I credit this book for getting me back out there!

Cay Lang, thank you for this program ... and the book!
This is a fantastic book that outlines what you need to do to set up and follow through as a visual artist. Every chapter is like a checklist. You can always use it as reference material later, but the book is great whether you read it for the 1st time or 51st time. Bravo, Cay Lang! Similar Products
