How to Sell Your Art

-





Many talented artists struggle to sell their paintings. Just because you are very talented doesn't mean that success is automatic. You must also be able to market yourself and your work. In that order. Art buyers are buying the persona of the artist as well as the physical art.


In this age of social media, you would think that it would be fairly easy to build a following for your work, and it is!  The problem is that you can't deposit "Likes" at the bank. If you could wouldn't that be sweet?


Being liked on a platform such as Facebook or Instagram is only the first step. You must get out of the studio and meet people as well. Work to build name recognition. Your online presence is an excellent means of promoting and building your brand.


To make money with your art, start by selling your work locally. Be on the lookout for art fairs. Reach out to local art galleries and arrange for them to sell your work on consignment. All it takes is a phone call. As talented as you are, success awaits you. But you can't be bashful. Just remember that confidence sells great art.

Using Gesso to Create Textured Paintings

-

High Quality Gesso builds texture The impasto technique is well known. It is a method where you lay paint over an area of your canvas in very thick layers. In most cases so thick that the brush or painting-knife leaves visible strokes. This can be done with paint, but it is far better to use gesso to achieve the same purpose. Why? Because gesso is far less expensive than paint, and the same texture and color can be achieved simply by adding the desired paint color to the gesso. Every color and hue can be achieved in this way. When the gesso and paint mixture dries, the result will be a painting which appears to be coming out of the canvas. The most important consideration is the consistency of the gesso. Gesso should not be too thin if the texture is what you are working to build. High-Quality brand Gesso is ideal. It will allow both ease of application, and reasonable drying time as you work on your next textured masterpiece.
