Hi just checking in. It is so difficult for me right now. I have arthritus in most places but especially in my hands. Many years ago I moved to digital art, I know what many people think, it was just so much easier, a smaller canvas, no shopping for paint or draging around canvasses in the wind and rain. Recently I have been trying AI, I knoweven more mud thrown in my dirrection. I bit have a shop/gallery where I prompted my work and where I could help people with their mental health. I provided a unqiue service, I even helped 2 mothers create a clothing look for their sadly breathed son and daughter to be dressed for their coffins. Since I could also print onto garments. I also have bi-polar and run up and down like a yo yo with my emotions. I am like Van Goth in the fact that I can sell other people’s art but sadly not my own. Thankyou for these insights, for your time energy and honest oppion. Sorry for any spelling mistakes I am aslo profoundly dsylexic. Thank you for listening.

@artflowtherapy5 ай бұрын
This is very true. I picked up some art collectors during my Masters course in London. They are so specific on what they want, and they might even visit your studio to discuss a commission or purchase work. Or they might not want to meet you at all, lol! I've had couples buy art, students, dentists, tutors, and designers. (Btw, oil on canvas, quite different from what my KZbin channel shows. More for fun!). Once a collector came to my studio to purchase a painting and I had a pile of A4 papers with rough ideas using acrylic. She looked through them and offered £100 for one! So you never know what will happen. It's good to build a friendship with them. But be warned, some collectors can get possessive and controlling. So keep it professional, have your boundaries, and have other collectors on rotation 👍
@ivanadzidic40123 жыл бұрын
Your videos are really helpful. I'm totally binge watching them tonight. Like many people & artists, I'm quite clueless when it comes to selling my original art. Sometimes I feel like there is almost a taboo surrounding the topic of selling art. I started to get some commissions and people are inquiring about my paintings so I'm trying to figure it out but there is so much to learn it can feel quite overwhelming. Connecting with art collectors or finding them is something I have never ever thought of. I suppose that shows how 'green' I am in the art world, but I know I think there are a lot of us like that. Probably even professional artist can be a bit clueless when it comes to some of these things. Art is a confusing world in terms of business, there are many myths around it and I'm sure both buyers and artists have issues navigating all of it.

There are a lot of myths indeed and many are clueless. That's the main reason I developed this channel because I was so clueless for so many years.

I did note a few designers and such and have started following them. I will try other galleries and see where it takes me! Thank you for the tips. And sure I will be your friend.

I constantly am hearing about the "algorithm of Instagram" or Twitter, etc. But nobody really knows what that algorithm is, or how to tap into it. It's like Indiana Jones searching for the Holy Grail. It's a waste of anybody's time to try to chase the algorithm if you don't really know exactly what it is or how to make it work for you. So many KZbinrs are telling me how to increase my traffic to my IG page, and really, none of it works.
