You’re very sweet but this very basic and yeah, time changed things. I’ve sold on Etsy but only to a k own collector and once to a German collector. I underpriced and often lost money. The post office stole a few pieces too! And no “serious” gallery is going to take an artist whose name is on Etsy or Shopify. Both platforms are saturated too! insta changes its model from content creation to influencer. So it’s very hard and I don’t find this video helpful even to those beginning. A website is indispensable, again, if one puts prices & even the word “for sale”, etc, Might get you low range collectors buying sometimes but it won’t land anyone a good reputation for gallery representation. Only people who sell for many many thousands of dollars. The other video of pricing was only helpful to very beginners. A person already at your level won’t get much out of this.

You’re a treasure. Thank you for sharing with us your true feelings, thoughts, and emotions as you physically take us through your process of painting really interesting works. Showing the vulnerability is relatable. We don’t all have great painting days (and even your bad days are still really good) yet we stay in the game because we love it. Sometimes the piece that isn’t working becomes at a later date the gem of the collection. I, too, work on multiple canvases not just for trying time but to revisit with fresh eyes. Overworking can be such a drag but I feel like we do that because there is that chance that something is going to happen that works. It’s all part and parcel of creativity. I’m so glad there’s someone out here on KZbin keeping it real. You’re fabulous. Thank you ❤

The biggest problem I always see is the competition. There are so many artists who underprice their work, often WAY underprice their work. Lots of ditzy artists who are just so happy being an “artist” and that’s all that matters, and some of them do quality work. They’re often not even making minimum wage, especially when you consider the work they’ve done that doesn’t sell added into their labor. I’m not going to play the game. The same people who buy art will pay a plumber $200 to come over and spend less than an hour to unclog their toilet. They dignify him for his skill and time, so they will equally dignify my skill and time, or they don’t get my work. I price my work on how good I think each piece is and the price I think such a piece should command, nothing else. Pricing by square inch sounds absurd. I can easily put more work into, and create a piece significantly better, than a piece three, four, five, times its size. I start my approach to pricing at the bottom baseline of my dignity and self-respect, and yes, I do sell.

Hi, Does rolling damage the paintings with heavy texture? I have a huge painting that’s heavily textured and the shipping cost is a lot so I was wondering if I can ship it in roll form

Lol. You make me laugh Lori.

Nice nice. I likey

Thanks Lori! I am new to your site. On Instagram how do you, deal with people who are making remarks "I like your work you are so beautiful let's be friends!" I usually delete but it doesn't help grow my site. Carla

What about the people who give a comment "I like your painting I'd like to be your friend you are so beautiful!" I don't like to respond to these comments. Thanks Carla

❤️❤️❤️ magenta!

Love your videos, my question is do you name your paintings when you finish them?

Greatly value the trio of very much smaller paintings of yours which I bought some years ago. They are on a wall with many other similar sized works but always command attention when people visit. Best r

Lori, your videos have been so inspiring to me. It’s been a year since my last abstract painting. I want to get back into it but I was wondering if you provide any courses online or if you have any advice on learning more on abstract painting. ❤

Absolutely genial explanation of what abstract art is.Great video,I've learned so much,thank you Lori.New subscriber, new follower.

I love your work very much. For me this close-up is is too far to see the effect of your strokes with your lefthand-pensil😊. But when I read all the comments below, it is just me......haha

Thank you. This is a very informative post.

I can watch your videos over and over.

Muy bueno , genia !!

Thank you

To me, i thought it was beautiful. As always, thank you for sharing your process.

AAAGGGHHH! No one cares where you live! Get to the point!

Espectacular!!!!!

Smaller work s can take more time , so do you recommend doubling price

Thankyou Lori for sharing this, truly appreciate your realness

Jajajajaj .........!!!!!!

😂😂❤

Hilarious

I am looking for large canvases that size?

I actually am aware that value is the most important. And I can see it in other people's paintings, or when it's missing. But for some reason I struggle to see it in my own work. It's weird. So, as a result, I struggle with value. When I know there's something wrong in my painting, I always think the problem is the thing or object next to the value problem. Don't know if I'm explaining this correctly. I don't know why I sort of block it out in my own work. Thank you for this video. I always need the reminder. And I'm going to try painting in b&w

Reminds me of the lawyer that couldn't take the kitten filter off for his zoom conference 😂😂 Amazing

😂😂😂 Thank you for this

I like when the lipstick is floating above your finger 👉 😂

Wow😍

Made me laugh so hard!!!!

😂 did you change something?

😂😂Consider it as free art on your face. But you look better without make up, if I may say😂😂

Oh! That's just too funny! 🤣🤣🤣

Thanks for fixing the filters, It was scary!

😂 Thanks for sharing! This just made my day 🤣

I love hearing you laugh at yourself dancing. It makes me literally lol.
