A fantastic video and inspiring message. Thanks Tim. I taught art in high schools for 40 years (uk). I also held a handful of exhibitions of my own work over the years which broke even, money wise. I also did several commissions. What you said about the two ‘villages’ in the art world really resonated with me. One is concerned with the (publicly financed) education establishment, the other with the public themselves and their perhaps more genuine love for artwork. Having a teaching job, though challenging and full of educational dogma and artistic pretensions, was great for me. Trying my hand with the commercial world was enjoyable and exciting, though far scarier. The public can be rather fickle.

There is far more than two ways to become successful as an artist. And the Order of what you need to be successful as a commercial artist I think is wrong. Creativity should be number one and skill down at the bottom. There has been many many many artists that have been successful in the order that I'm suggesting.

There are a lot of very creative people out there with no skill creating paintings no one would want at any cost. Creativity plus skill will beat creativity on its own pretty much every time in the world of Commercial Art Sales. But we are each entitled to our opinions:)

I'm a bit older and just started getting into art, and I am not counting on it for a living. So far, I'm sticking to graphite and charcoal, but that's because I have a fairly significant color blindness issue. While I see a lot of colors, they aren't always what others see, and I'm missing a bunch of shades. Kind of a bummer, I think I'd like painting. I have to wear clothes I know don't clash or what my wife picks out. Hey, maybe that can be my unique voice.

It’s not just finding a salable style, it’s trying to convince a gallery to represent you. It cost money just trying to participate in a group show, and there are no guarantees of a sale spending so much time and effort. That’s why being an artist is not a career to make living and more of hobby to make occasional sale. I don’t know anyone who makes consistent full time living, unless you are Damien Hirst. Seeing this as a realistic career only confuses young artists who spend years looking for their break and hit the wall in their 40’s moving to different careers because they can’t keep chasing a fantasy.
@timpackerfinearts10 ай бұрын
I have to disagree with you. I have made over 200k from the sale of my work in each and every year for over a decade. The problem is that a: many artists, like yourself just don’t believe it is possible and b: even if they do believe it is possible… they don’t know what to do to get there. Which is where I come in 😊👍🎨
@THEARTURLIVE10 ай бұрын
@@timpackerfinearts Perhaps KZbin is your source of income from ads and making occasional sales directing traffic to a website. Selling through a gallery is more of a hit or miss. You have to become a celebrity to make it really full time income because people buy artist’s name hoping to resale later for more money. It’s very rare for someone paying 10k just because they like the work. I have been in this field for many years. I made few sales in 3k or 5k mostly through direct connections with a patron.

@@timpackerfinearts That’s impressive if so. Very few make it work. It’s more of an exception than normal. I can recreate your paintings easily, that doesn’t mean I can make money. I am not good at making it a business. Also, being older helps as people treat you mores seriously. I can paint like a Rembrandt or Velasquez but that doesn’t mean buyers get in line to buy art. It’s more of being at a right place and right time and likability of a painter to get connection. It has little to do with talent or how great your art is. Quality of art is only %10 and %90 is making it a business. This is what should be taught in schools for youngsters so they don’t think if it doesn’t sell, then they are not good enough as painters! Starving artist is not a myth after all, as many do starve or get a real job after failing so many times. You have reached that audience with financial resources and it’s an achievement. How to reach that audience is a big task for many artists. Just telling people on KZbin that only thing you need is finding your own style is misleading especially for youngsters because they will get burned financially and artistically trying to make a sale or a career. So, in your case it’s something else that clicked not just the style, as I have seen this type of work before honestly. It does fit in a commercial genre, as you can hang it not only at home but in place of business as well.
