RE: Painting class - online
I think that if you truly want to be free, you have to be as self-reliant as possible, if not completely, and of course, strong when someone knocks on the door. Or just unleash the wolves on them, that's also an option. LOL.
When it comes to shedding the mask, it just depends on how dependent you are on others or... how you can live with yourself. I know I can't do that; I couldn't even as a child. The result? I paid a very high price and I'm still paying it, and yet... I'm overjoyed every day that I escaped this, and believe me, it's been over 40 years since I finally left this situation.
When it comes to art, it does indeed become difficult to be truly free, although many will say they do what they love most, even if it's commissioned, but as soon as art has to fill the wallet, the whole picture looks completely different. In that respect I agree with @ronthhoop that it is great when one can engage in art without having to be paid for it.
I wish you a great, creative day with freedom!

I'll think about a couple of wolves in my house, but in an apartment on the 8th floor... I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to feel like wolves))
It is very difficult to reset the mask (even the last one). You still have at least one skeleton in your closet and there's something you'd rather not talk about. This is already part of the mask. Only a hermit in the forest can live completely without a mask... masks are not needed in front of wolves, they will not help. And among people, from time to time, you still have to take into account others.
In art... yes, I agree with you and @ronthhoop, when you create something to sell, you try to take into account someone's tastes and preferences. This is no longer freedom, it is a market. And since I want to eat every day...))
I wish you a great, creative day with freedom too!
I was given a rare book yesterday. Faulkntr`s Mississippi
For me, it's a photo album with comments.
I didn't see any "commercial" photos there. He shot the way he saw and wanted and felt. I think he was free in his work. Maybe I'm wrong, because I don't know him or his life at all.

Вчера мне подарили редкую книгу. Faulkntr`s Mississippi
Для меня это фотоальбом с комментариями.
Я не увидел там "коммерческих" фотографий. Он снимал так, как видел и как хотел и чувствовал. Думаю, он был свободным в своём творчестве. Возможно я и ошибаюсь, поскольку совсем не знаю его и его жизни.
