INCOME STREAM For Artists: How To Make PRINTS from Your Artwork & SELL Them

[@halflink]

Good summary, the only comment regarding the dpi limitations of taking a photo of an artwork. There is no limitation if you shoot in RAW (all DSLR cameras have this format, though different manufacturers use different names for it). It's basically a huge file with lossless colour information (hence you can colour correct/adjust exposure to your heart's desire without any loss of quality and then export result as a jpeg of whatever size and dpi you want). It was specifically developed for professional photographers so that their photos could be then printed on a large format. Needless to say, both Photoshop and Lightroom support RAW files. Additionally, to minimise waste of ink, paper and time on colour-corrections and colour-matching between screen and prints, all files (in Procreate/Photoshop/Lightroom or whatever other software you use for creating and/or adjusting images) need to be in CMYK colour profile, not sRGB.

Thank you for this video! Do you frame the art yourself and take the pictures or do you put them in a Mockup?

[@sarahhallidayart]

I put them in a mock up - It's a lot easier and cheaper! 😄

[@downesart]

@@sarahhallidayart thanks! Did you use a specific website to make them ?

[@sarahhallidayart]

@@downesart Shutterstock, then Adobe Illustrator. But you might be able to find something on Canva which is free.

Found the Etsy details informative. Bit shocked about the gallery % but I guess space is at a premium!

[@halflink]

That's typical for any retailer (or if you sell wholesale).
