"my Mom loves my work" hahaha, I'm totally stealing that line. (she does, you know)

[@timpackerfinearts]

Its a great line :)

Were these first ones varnished in any way? The consistent mounting looks great, but I wondered about the surface protection.

[@timpackerfinearts]

I believe they were varnished with an acrylic varnish

[@maureenb7399]

Yes, Tim social media is how I found out about your work... good luck going forward Brooke, beautiful work!

[@timpackerfinearts]

Thanks Maureen

[@salome10011]

So helpful! Thank you. ❤

[@mailie6403]

It would be useful if you could mention the medium used for each painting. Lovely work by Brooke.

[@timpackerfinearts]

that would have been good... but much too late now😊👍😉

[@mailie6403]

@@timpackerfinearts yes of course. Only just found your channel.

Hi Tim, At what level of artistic development one should consider registering a business and start selling their work? Is it at any stage of development or is at some particular level of required proficiency? Thank you and I love your channel! Gordan

[@timpackerfinearts]

Hi Gordon, glad you are enjoying the channel :) The main level you need to hit is where people actually start showing an interest in acquiring your work... usually friends & family... and from there when strangers start showing an interest. So then the question becomes how do you get your work in front of strangers.... Social media is a great way now to get your work in front of people and guage their interest. also if you join your local art association they usually have shows for members.

[@gordan6919]

Tim thank you kindly for your prompt response! I recently became a member of art association and they will have a show in April this year. I guess this will be my first opportunity to gauge interest of public for my current work. Thanks again, Gordan

[@joao_belmont]

What a clever idea, to place the price where you can clearly see that they're checking it out 👍

[@timpackerfinearts]

😊👍

Does Brooke paint oil or acrylics

[@owonobrandon8747]

im glad i found this! i would love to have a mentor, but i cant afford one.. youtube is a really cool invention!

[@timpackerfinearts]

sure is 👍😊🎨

[@bzba1358]

When you get into the bigger paintings for what I do sq inch seems so expensive compared to pricing on small works. But with linear I find the small works more expensive that is necessary. So grappling now with how to smooth this out....do you have a preference for square inch versus linear inch pricing?

[@timpackerfinearts]

I price the smaller ones a little bit differently because a small piece takes more work per square inch because each one is its own unique composition. So the small pieces work out more per square inch. Once I get up to a 24 by 24 or bigger I price per square foot

[@bzba1358]

Tim Packer Fine Arts thank you - good to know sounds like both methods require some massaging at either end

[@pi2-round]

Have you tried oils with water sol gels/ linseed? Thank you for answer in advance.

[@codysoulliere7806]

Great work!

[@timpackerfinearts]

Thanks Cody

[@avgjoe6485]

Can't hear a damn thing

[@timpackerfinearts]

Not sure what the problem is...I think it must be on your end since yours is the only complaint about the audio🤔

[@avgjoe6485]

@@timpackerfinearts No somf your videos fro 5-6 years ago i was watching with brook were low volume hardly hear but others were fine

[@melaniereeder2349]
