thank you, great, no fluff explanation of how.. thanks for sharing your knowledge and honesty...

[@AnnikaThueJensen]

Super cool videos!! Thanks for Sharing and for being transparent 😊

[@ToastedGhost]

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.

[@larrycunningham3447]

Great information Dries. I have been painting in oils for over 40 years but have no clue how to reach buyers online. Thanks so much for your wisdom and knowledge!!!

[@driesketels]

Glad to help Larry. You deserve some of those collectors after 40 years. Go for it, you got this. And thanks for taking the time to write such a nice comment.

[@reltcstone2]

been digging the videos. Thanks for making the content.

[@driesketels]

Glad you like them Michael!

[@driesketels]

You got me with your first comment Carla... appreciated.

[@johnkairu8235]

I appreciate this message 100%...Thanks pretty much Mr.Dries for this opportunity opener,me being a start-up portrait and wildlife artist.!!!

[@driesketels]

You are very welcome John. Good luck with your startup

[@jennyblad1038]

I have a feeling I’ll be revisiting your channel a lot! King!

[@driesketels]

That's very nice to hear Jenny... See you around.

[@bellucci7471]

Great job.

[@JuzzMe-xu4mu]

Has anyone ever told you that you look a lot like Ryan Reynolds?! lol That's a good thing, btw. Thank you for this video. I make my own jewelry and I am always looking for helpful tips to get more sales on social media.

[@driesketels]

Wow, thank you! No this has been the first time. People have said Russel Brand and Harry Styles a couple of times though... Thanks for your lovely comment. Made my day. Now I can at the very minimum fantasize about having the looks that Ryan Reynolds has.

[@JuzzMe-xu4mu]

​@@driesketels Hahaha...you are very welcome. But yes, you honestly do. I am surprised nobody has said it especially your eyes. If your hair was short and lighter you would be twins.

[@stephenakel3399]

Lol good work Mr keep going 🙂

[@driesketels]

Mr keep going, I like that.

[@lindakopec7036]

Well, that is the first time I have ever received a quasi marriage proposal by KZbin video!! Me and 5,847 other viewers. :) Definitely makes you memorable! I will have to get to know you better before I will consider accepting. :D

[@driesketels]

Looking forward to it Linda...

[@donnameyer1544]

Hi Dries, I am enjoying your videos, I just went to your website and it has some unfinished text in your about page and your artist statement. And some links broken. I was interested in seeing your art, but the navigation is all about facemasks and mugs.

[@driesketels]

Hey Donna... I had to throw away the old website and the new one is not finished yet. Check back in a couple of weeks or go over to my IG for some art stuff. Thanks for letting me know

[@Flowstatepaint]

Thanks man

[@driesketels]

you are welcome welcome.

[@robertgardiner3925]

[@tahurahossain6012]

Great video.

[@driesketels]

Thanks Tahura!

[@Painting_with_nafise]

Thank you for great video I will follow you on ig

[@driesketels]

See you ther

[@kalargiarts5466]

you really change my perspective to sell art omg I'm in new world 😳

[@driesketels]

That's just lovely to hear Kalargi. And that's exactly what this channel is about.

[@artflowtherapy]

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 👍

[@ivanadzidic4012]

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.

[@driesketels]

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. Thanks for the appreciation Ivana. if there is something that you would like to see covered on the channel, let me know... Would love to make more videos that can help you out.

[@neyruzAJ]

You are smart and funny, I couldn't hold myself of commenting when you say we might meet and be a good friend or get married ;) I'm taken you got to find someone else ;) cheers!

[@driesketels]

You commented to say that you were taken? That must be a hell of a relationship! congratulations! Must be amazing! Ps: thanks for the compliments, I don't deserve them hehe:)

[@marcellinileao7567]

Never saw some creator do such nice and honest videos about selling and telling the real life true of being an artist! Congratulations Dries for your videos and arts!

[@driesketels]

You are too kind Marcellini. Thanks for your positivity in the comment section. Always nice to see those

[@journeyofaconfusedartist]

I love the psychology focus of your videos. Mine is more investigatory. Sherlock Holmes of the Art World. Very impressed and keep producing my art friend

[@mischa1880]

Why do you call buyers “collectors”? Mostly people just buy a painting for their environment but they don’t collect.

[@driesketels]

Call them whatever you want Mischa...

[@Handle1916]

Dries, as someone says here your videos are really honest. That’s rare I mean the honesty coming through so strongly. It’s really impressive. Most artists presenting on you tube are good but there’s still a distance you know. But you are able to really connect with the viewers. I’m watching all your videos again. Thank you again ❤

[@MyMdhussain]

iris aunty 👍 Super 👍 👌 Super 👍 Superb ❤

[@gabrielleroshelli]

Ok, what if we do this and the gallery seems to only be following other artists on instagram? For reference I live in the southeastern united states in North Carolina, in a small mountain town. There are lots of galleries here and in the closet city, and the area is filled with artists. 🙃

[@abetterhell]

Thank your for your advise, it is very helpful.

[@driesketels]

Glad it was helpful!

[@emanuel6233]

I have 3 assignments due tomorrow I have never painted anything What am i doing here?

[@driesketels]

hahahah, your comment is pure gold. Love it. So recognizable.

[@clairebureau5881]

Great idea! I checked out the "Followings" of a couple of local galleries and they are 99% artists! I knew the art market was pretty saturated around where I live but I didn't realize it was that bad! Do you think I should also look at the gallery's Followers? 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. Sorry though, lover position is currently filled! Plus your hair is way nicer than mine and that wouldn't do! ;-)

[@QueenBeeneena]

Thank You...I have new respect for Artists...I am self-taught, but inspired by so many. I appreciate your honesty of information. ❤

[@AtravelLens]

Hi Dries thx for the clip resourceful love your videos all the best

[@scottschoenick9944]

Dries, I love your videos, your common sense, your depth of knowledge, and (most of all), your hair. I can't be your lover, but please consider me your friend!

[@pannavekaria3816]

You are so infectious. Thank you so much. I really appreciate your videos, they're making me feel more confident in selling my work online world wide.🙏❤

[@driesketels]

That's just lovely to hear. Hope I can keep on doing that.

[@ruthderosario7897]

I'm exactly the kind of self critical hibernating artist (I feel weird calling myself an artist.. gah) anyway I feel like you are becoming my mentor... 🙃😅 Thanks for the advice..

[@Yes-bk9cl]

❤❤❤

[@MsGnor]

Dries, just like the other arty gazillions commenting below, your videos are pure gold, love them madly for their usefulness and your humour. Love from your KZbin BFF Superfan, sadly not avail for TruLuv 🥰🤣

[@Culby-xe7wx]

I love this video! Very helpful for me as an artist! The only thing that I doubt it’s your frase “Nobody likes me” it’s impossible! You are good looking and smart and yang! Not many people feed in this category!

[@samaeybelgium]

The "maybe i will be your lover" element is very comical! Its always a plaisure to see you talking :)

[@kozy15x]

Everyone on here is GUSHING over this, but seriously...has anyone had ANY results? he says things like "don't just like but consume their content.." what does that EVEN MEAN??

[@orla99913]

Huh. I had already started with this .... really gratifying to know I was on the right track. But yes, it's very time-consuming. Thanks again for your great insights.

[@plutonicmindsart]

Quality videos brother, appreciate all the advise given! liked and subscribed

[@gtberg]

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.

[@maryherouvis361]

Recently found you. TY for all the information. Looking forward to diving in, bff😉

[@CrayzayButAwesome]

Thank you Dries. You've inspired me to come out of my shell further. I'm down to be friends man. I'm refreshing at this full moon. Ciao!

[@smadarbar]

Great tips, Dries! Thank you! Smadar

[@MARYNESS-r3z]

You mention scanning for collectors in the list that a gallery is following. My question is, in that list of sometimes hundreds of names, how can you identify who is a collector?

[@sharoneniola9304]

The 1st half of this video had me like - Don't tell me what's unlikely, tell me what's likely... but the 2nd half was very informative, so thank you!

[@Lenny4400]

My artist friend your information was very helpful-the truth! You will meet someone through your artistic journey. It maybe a curator, museum director or someone that simply likes art.

[@silverarrowtarot]

Ive watched like 3 of your videos now. Congrats on having charisma and talent LOL.

[@wendyvanputtenart8089]

O man, I wish I found you earlier. Such great tips thanks Dries p.s you said you are not funny in an other post but you are ! Trust me. 🌺

[@driesketels]

I appreciate that Wendy! Thanks for leaving a comment

[@delightfullyquilted7364]

Thank you so much for your videos! I’m struggling through selling my quilts. I’m hoping that some of these ideas might be able to translate though.

[@marshawilsonpyrographer4046]

Thank you for your advice to other artists. Selling is the hardest part and any encouragement is good to hear. Still don't want to be your lover, but I would like to be a friend. :)

[@MajelCats]

You’re selling art to Interior Designers looking for a color palette to pull from. If the art is essential to make the design work, then the sale will likely occur.

[@ryanking913]

Do you suggest posting your art on others feeds?

[@driesketels]

What do you mean with other feeds?

[@Hunter-de3dx]

0:18 yeah, this is what's scaring me . By the time I do all this online stuff, is there going to be time to actually work? Maby it looks awful because they're always online?

[@0Rocketmonkey]

thank you for your videos sir, they are very helpful and encouraging, and humorous. I'ts easy to lose hope, videos like yours are one thing that helps me keep going.

[@balengski1]

Thank you Dries for all your tips. I am new in the art world and a self taught artist. I have to make an Instagram account for my page and follow your advise. You're simply great and funny. Keep safe and God bless. 🤗

[@juliannajarvis5646]

Thank you Dries! Your videos are so helpful! I’ve been trying to be active on Instagram to help the algorithm but I’m not having much luck, I’ve been struggling a bit to be seen in the art world. But your videos are helpful and I will follow your advice, I found your KZbin today. I also like how you are so passionate with your explanations!
