School never touches these subjects... Insane!!! We need more artists sharing their experience when it comes to selling art. Great job Katie

[@NatPaintThat]

Great tips on art selling. I’m still at phase one where I don’t want to part from anything I create.

[@chase4326]

I have that problem as well.

[@lisasternenkind6467]

Me too! 😂

[@melinarother2050]

Thank you so much, love the series💕 it's so helpful! I am just starting out and I'm so overwhelmed by all the stuff you have to keep in mind and organize

[@geviei]

I loved the advice about failing! Most people tend to hide their failures, so I very much appreciate you talking about that.

[@KatieJobling]

It’s honestly a part of the journey 😊🙌🏻 we shouldn’t feel ashamed!

[@lisasternenkind6467]

Me too. I myself can relate more to those who admit their difficulties and fails. Since about a year I have discovered several times that some of the artists on social media "admit" fails that obviously haven't really happened. I'm sure they also fail sometimes just like everybody does, so I wonder why they don't admit their true fails. It makes me wander off and unsubscribe if I catch a creator doing this a second time, because I crave honesty.

[@dianaolmospaez111]

[@roseaurora-artstudio1953]

thank you so much... you are so lovely. I hope your little family is doing very well. I have begun to paint again since August of 2018 when I painted a large 48" x 36" for my son's 18th birthday. I made a painting of his favorite summer place in Sonoma California near the Russian River. I had never seen him freak out so much. I had not painted in 20 years. He did not know I had once painted. I have a BA in Photography, and Graphic Arts. I have 2 minors in Fine Art and Interior Design. But since I had him, Interior Design is what I have done for 20 years. He begged me to paint from now on and retire from working so hard and having issues with safety during this Corona Virus era. You have been very inspiring. I appreciate all your work and your honesty. I am now going to paint full time.... or the best of what can be considered full time. lol. 80% perspiration and 20% inspiration! My question is regarding originals vs prints. What is the ratio of your sales of one vs the other? What to look for and whom to use to make your prints? Also, keeping your own rights and protecting your original artwork when using photography on the internet, when printing prints, when selling originals etc. Can you elaborate or make a video when possible about the subject? I am currently painting with acrylics, mostly landscapes, some portraits of our son (he is so handsome...lol... he will kill me!), to allow for some technique testing. I need to get out of my head and plan for my next 20 years. I don't want to retire. What for? So creating another business it is! I have always been quite successful with my creativity... but this time it feels more raw... more of my soul and emotions are flowing. I know you understand. Anyway, if you can, you may reply or do whatever makes you comfortable regarding these subjects. I admire all of your work and what makes you lovely is your soul and human essence. Thank you and always take care of you and your family before you take care of others such as your followers. When mama is happy we all are happy. Blessings to you.... and hello from Sunny California.... well, as soon as all the fires die down... hoping for clear skies. Stay safe. Rose Aurora.

[@sonyjohny7717]

Such a useful video! And I love how your positivity and genuine urge to help people shines through! Lots of love and thanks to you Katie. I was thinking maybe you can make a detailed video on how to print your art (like the paper/printer/packaging, etc. involved)and sell them? It is a passive source of income that many of us can benefit from.

[@robertgriffithartgriffith6583]

Thank you Katie. Good job as usual.

Thanks for this. I've been curious as I have so many painted canvasses I just ended up giving them to family and friends!

[@terrysharing]

Brilliantly done! As one who made my living with art (of a different nature) for 40 years, I can say that you have already shared some profound insights into success. Even though I'm retired, I look forward to learning more. Who knows? I still have paints and canvases to spare! Thanks!

[@deboramissoorten6765]

I really love your realistic and honest approach of sharing your knowledge being an artist myself for many years I spend most of the time into finding my own artist style/voice and struggled about how I wanted to sell my artwork trying out different paths ,I now feel more and more that I just want to be in control myself and listening to you I recognized a lot of how and who I am as a person it was an eyeopener in the sense being also more an introvert and your information is very valuable , thanks for being so open and honest it is something I cherish and value a lot in a person , thanks a lot !

Great video! This is very helpful. You explained things that I will use for my artwork. I want to sell my art and stay consistent. I'm learning how to sell art because oneday I want to sell my work and make profit. I'm a passionate artist myself. And I love hearing other artists advice on how to sell and market themselves as artists. It's a process and journey but eventually we'll get the hang of it. You have a new subscriber! I enjoyed this video. Keep up the great work!

This series is a great idea! I would love it if you can include some (or all) of the following topics: Pricing art work; Original vs prints (pricing, can you sell prints of a sold original, etc.); Tips for safely wrapping art work of different medias for shipping (framed canvas, prints, paintings on paper etc.).

Thank you so much for this video! I have never seen an artist that opened up about their business like this and it's honestly helpful. You know... as a college fine arts student it's really blurry when I think of the future path. I know I'll have to work my way since my degree garantee me nothing. It was just recently i found kinda my style and while working on university stuff and doing my own artwork I also tried to keep up with a regular update on Instagram... Which I sadly could not keep up :/ May be in some future I will try in the right conditions.

[@smilemoveon1717]

[@lifeontheround]

Thank you Katie. I can't wait for the rest in the series. My question is how do you know how to price?

[@zaynabmh786]

thank you so much Katie, this is very helpful. shipping from where I live, is SO EXPENSIVE. sometimes it can cost as much as half of the paintings price. costumers don't want to pay that much, don't know what to do?

[@andreatorraca8755]

Tks for this ,yr awsome

[@BoundingSquirrel]

This series sounds like a wonderful idea, and it's all relevant-thanks for thinking of this. As for other topic ideas: you mentioned Society6. I'd be really interested in any thoughts you have on both Society 6 specifically, and Print on Demand generally.

[@sararaitanen3523]

Thank you for doing videos like this! They are really reassuring💕✨ one question that I would like anwsered is about packaging and shipping larger paintings🤔 like canvases? how much does that usually cost, ways to ship them safely, etc.

[@hiekescholten9341]

Loved the video! I’m interest in how you ship your artwork, what materials do you use for packaging and where do you buy it?

[@fashionluvr15]

Shipping artwork always seems daunting to me, would love to see your process!

[@RMHART]

I think something to note with starting a KZbin Channel is it takes a long time for it to be a place of revenue. I have made over 50 videos covering Speedpaints, studio vlogs and tips and I’m definitely no where near being able to make it a place of revenue but instead it’s such a fantastic creative outlet and I’m addicted to making videos almost as much as art 😅❤️🙌 I guess it all comes back to following what you love 😊🥰 and no matter what you are doing it always takes time and patience 🙌 Love your videos! Also really excited for you to share your experience once your bubs arrives! My lil man is almost 7 weeks old and I’m finding it hard to reintroduce art but just taking each day as it comes atm ❤️

I used to have an art studio at Western Ave Studios. They host a monthly open house which allows artists to sell artwork straight to consumers. I loved the community, I was perpetually inspired, but hated selling days, because I’m so introverted, was intimidating!

[@linashamoon9414]

I love your videos and you're super cool! #subscribed

[@dancingpencil2]

I am so glad you are doing these series! Yay! I plan to start selling my art and recently also started my art KZbin Channel. These videos would be very helpful. Katie, whats the best thing to paint on with acrylics - can I use very thick cardboard, wooden canvas (it's cheaper for me) or should I definitely use canvas on a frame? I am looking for budget friendly options.

[@mazkraut9776]

That is so useful!! Thank you for being so honest! It's really encouraging to see how you deal with "failure-or-learning opportunity" - you're right, it's not the end of the world, just another piece in the jigsaw puzzle. I'd really like to know more about your take on two things: 1) materials: I can paint with few pigments, so I can buy some better quality ones, but I cannot afford good canvasses. But I feel if I were to sell something, people could expect decent supports that last. How have you dealt with this problem before you became successful enough to buy good stuff? 2) For sending paintings in the post, apart from packaging them well (I know you're made some videos about that), how do you find a good carrier? I see Royal Mail excludes art work from compensation, and the carriers that specifically transport art work charge more than I would for the work. Thank you for making this series, great idea! :)

[@George5Bells]

Great tips Katie thank you👍 I'm at the start of putting myself out there on my art journey later this year, I have a plan in place but taking my time to get things in the right order as in Bank account, webpage, business cards etc. My question- Did you start drawing is a hobby that developed into selling or was that part of your plan at the start? Thanks Jan Bell (George is my Dogs name that I go under on KZbin!)

[@anne-sophiepoolman9514]

Hi Katie, First of all I would like to say that I absolutely love to watch your videos. They always motivate me to create and try and fail of course as this is absolutely part of the journal. I've been wondering how to set up something for myself. I've seen so much great tips and ideas but as I'm living in the Netherlands there might be different organizations to use when you want to sell prints for example. Do you know anything about that? Or do you know a Dutch artist that is open to contact and a conversation? Thank you so much for putting yourself out there. Keep strong and be happy xx

[@sabrinaproctor3981]

There are SO many options for setting up your booth. A lot of people like to use grid walls to maximize their hanging space but that's a serious investment 🤑. It also depends on how much space you have and on precisely what you are selling. Best 3 tips. 1) Make your space reflect who you are 2) Make sure you have at least some pieces at eye level and 3)Make sure you have plenty of light.

[@juliegerlich6072]

Hey Katie, Writing to you from New Orleans. It's Mardi Gras time right now. I am a subscriber and also a beginner ( 2 years + or - ) I'm going to be honest , I started out watching this video trying to learn something but towards the end of the video I realized I never heard a word you said. I love the way you say the word painting without the G. Are all words ending with a G pronounced like when you say ( PAINTIN ) in your world .Sounds great , keep up the good job.......

Dear Katie, first of all thank you so much for your help and this video! your are amazing :-) I´ve done a lot of research of how to make my art prints and maybe you have some advise for me? For instance, do I need definitely photoshop for that? I think if we need it, maybe you could tell us which features help us mostly artists/painters, since photoshop has a lot of tools :(. Do you print at home? if not, How do you prepare your prints to give it to a print service provider? I struggle a lot first making my own photos with my camera, I am not very sure which settings do I need and I use most of the time my Iphone :-). Thank you again! Katty

Hi Katie. I’d particularly like your take on Etsy. I’ve tried them to no avail and have many watercolours available are there any tricks or tips to using this site.

[@carahindes4341]

Thank you for your efforts in making these videos! Glad you are able to earn from them too. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on crafting your online presence, as an artist looking to earn a decent income. For example whether to go broad, offering your art in as many different forms and on an many platforms as possible, or to choose an approach and pour all your energy into developing that. Personally I'v felt a bit at sea trying to compare all the pros and cons and fee structures of so many different online selling platforms! Alot of them seem designed to crowd source artwork at low cost and for high profit, for the sites' hosts, not the producers of the artwork. Would be great to hear what you think about this debate, with the experiences you've had. Thanks again! 🙂✌🏻🥀

[@RaymondOreFineArt]

Very interesting, thank you. At the moment the only place I really sell is Local Art Society Exhibitions but there's not too many of them and they have a practical price limit of up to £400 I've seen much higher but they never sell plus I don't make it easy for myself as my paintings take around 10-20 hours work so the hourly rate is poor. I sell prints through Fine art America but total sales are 2 prints after 1.5 years! Thinking about Etsy but can you realistically sell at highish prices? I'm less than useless at the social side of the business (Autism diagnosis) so that doesn't help to say the least. Anyway, I've rambled on for too long thanks again for the great video.

Thank you so much for sharing. I've opened up an Etsy shop. It's been open for about a month. Thus far no sales. If people see no sales at a shop, do you feel it makes them back off from buying? My other question is about pricing. I have no idea how much to price my art. I've searched for similar art to mine at Etsy and it goes from around $500.00 into to the thousands. I've seen some as high as $40,000!!!! Any insight?

Q: How did you start painting? Was it at school or on your own. And how did you grow in your work? Was it by watching special videos, books, online courses, ... . I am learning to paint myself, but I feel like something is missing. For example: too much water or too little water, thickness and smoothness, using the wrong paint brushes for what I want to achieve, etc. Can you help me out or make a video like this one about it? Thanks, love you work!
