Launching my online ART SHOP + how YOU CAN too ✰ making art prints at home

Head to squarespace.com/ashleighking to save 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain using code ASHLEIGHKING
Finally launching my online art store! There is so much work that goes into starting an art business. Hopefully this vlog lays out the steps in an easy to follow way. I go over shop preparation things like market research, buying supplies, calculating costs, & scanning and editing your art for printing. I’ll also show you how I make prints at home, take product pictures, set up my online shop, and create aesthetic packaging! It's been a long process but so rewarding! I can't believe my art is going out into the world :')
💖 SUPPORT ME: www.buymeacoffee.com/ashleigh...
🌟 My store is open! 🌟
SHOP HERE: www.ashleighkingart.com/shopa...
It's a limited drop of 10-20 prints of each kind this first time!
I’m filming an additional Q&A video for any more detailed information about opening an online art shop that I couldn’t fit into this vlog. Let me know if you have any more questions in the comments below!
Thank you so much for all your support!
Much love,
Ashleigh

Thank you.. very sweet of you to spread this kind of positivity in this world.. you have commented this two months ago but today 20/4/23 chick peeking into the video I saw your comment.. wishing you all best in your life. ❤

[@rushbush.5525]

Whenever i see artists become successful or be able to do what they want i feel proud :')

[@ekwanii]

This made me a little emotional because I've only sold two paintings, and when I sent them out, my note read the exact same thing that you wrote. I hope to experience this again soon :)

[@laybarahman719]

through which medium you sell them??

[@artistomg]

Hey! congratulations!! You inspire me :)

[@AshleighKing]

Thank you! Wishing you the best!

[@vislavathpandu2209]

[@AqsaSamreenDrawings]

@artistomg i am your big fan and your subscriber & regular viewer. You know i'am so happy to see your comment.

[@maestroecarlate1888]

Seeing how much effort and time you put into the artwork you sell to strangers just makes me want to support you :)

[@joelhenry4643]

This was incredibly done. The editing camera shots, everything. The turning off the lamp with the candles still burning at your desk blowing out the candle was very clever filmwork. Thank 🧒 you.

[@ramwave6228]

Congratulations Ashleigh! It's really great to finally open your art shop. I'm sure you're very proud on venturing on something that you're really passionate about. This also gives an inspiration to all aspiring artist to never stop chasing their dreams. More power & God bless as always🙏😊

[@brittanyhinch-jc7kb]

first and foremost you are absoueltly stunning! The time and effort and beauty that you put in to this video really shows. Thank you so much for taking us on this special journey with you and congratulations!

[@YumixNightmare]

I just want to say, you inspire me to do my art dreams. I appreciate the hell out of the video aesthetic too. Great job

[@chichawaters]

thank you for this one! ❤️😌 i feel so inspired to continue my art journey since i started watching your vlog. i aspire to learn oil painting too when i have the space and enough money to buy the tools i need. for now i tried digital painting and is very flexible so im planning to sell art too. i thought that i can only monetize my skills by doing commission works (which i dont always enjoy) so watching your vlog makes me feel confident that i can do the same, i can make my own art and people would still enjoy it. so grateful you were recommended to me one day and ever since, i couldn't miss any of your upload. ❤️

[@yosehblog]

I am still watching the video and this is a lot! Is completely genuine and beautiful and kind the way you share every information and also the audiovisual production behind! ✨ there’s no words! Thank you, Ashleigh! 🤍

[@MsSmile-wd2bw]

Your attitude to art and customers are inspiring and respectful

[@codiuart]

It's amazing, I also dreamed of having a small art shop like this. But I am not capable, my painting skills are not good either. I always look at your works, take it as my inspiration.

[@AshleighKing]

Aw I believe you can! 💖

[@1marya.]

Many artists never believe their art is good enough... I bet if you put your work out there you'd be surprised how many people would love it!

[@priyaarya6883]

So truee you must start and believe yourself☺️😄

[@b.knotty]

I have this same thought process and recently talked about it in a recent vlog.. we have to let go of the negative talk and stop making excuses. I hope you start and keep going 💛

[@lauramulholland6483]

That's me too

[@NN-dk8bd]

Congratulations 🎉 !! Not only painting, you video editing, filming and bgm was top notch.

[@belindahugheslifestyle]

I'm actually at this moment in my art business, as well, so your timing is perfect, Ashleigh! Right when I needed this exact information and was wondering where to find all the answers, if they were available in one convenient place. Thank you so much for this video. Wishing you much success and joy.

[@simpleePrea]

Very happy for you !!! You are an inspiration to me … I love your calm voice !!❤

[@madelinegrudens]

Congratulations! I hope you have great success with your new shop! This was very inspiring and calming! You have such a nice way about you!

[@Katefibroninja]

Thank you Ashleigh I have thought about doing this, but I stumbled by my paintings looking a bit flat! But now realise the paintings are edited before production to brighten them in areas and getting rid of any blemishes. thank you

[@marte1992]

The time and care you put into all the little details are so cute ❤

[@craftgenics]

please make a detailed video on how you created your shop from scratch and also presentation.. how to print and how to package.. everything everyone is sooo interested.. 💜💜💜

[@bangtwitterandtwicetagram830]

Yayyy! Congratulations on the launch! I’ll be sure to check it out first thing tomorrow 🥰

[@AshleighKing]

Aw thanks so much!! 🥰💖

[@jessicaangelesart]

I wish I could do this someday. You are an inspiration to all of us! Thank you so much for sharing ❤️🌸 More success on your channel and shop!🌷

[@xitsskaitlin]

Just purchased a print after watching this video! Very inspirational!!! I love your videos, so calmly to watch as well as helpful!! Thank you for all the tips.

[@marilyneguerriau7443]

Thanks ashley for this video and all the advises useful for me in the future. Good luck for your workshop 🤞

[@AK-th1ky]

thanks for all the amazing information!!! you are so awesome for not gatekeeping information and sharing your journey

[@AbelSanchez92]

I'm glad your video showed up in my recommendations. I like your art. Also, congratulations on your launch. I wish you the best of luck and success.

[@Viktoria_Linda]

Ой как я восхищаюсь вами Эшли! У меня совершенно нет терпения на принты и упаковку такую эстетичную. Я больше сконцентрирована на самой живописи и упаковке которая доставит картину в целости и сохранности . Если у меня много продаж я нанимаю помощника для отправки заказов а сама занимаюсь живописью. Принты тоже при необходимости передаю фирме профессионалу. Но вы молодец мне очень нравится ваш энтузиазм и эстетика ваших видео

[@itsaisha37]

You're so hardworking, it's honestly so inspiring. This was a great help. Congratulations on the new online shop! 😊 Also, that paper cutter was so satisfying lol

[@AshleighKing]

I really appreciate you saying this Aisha :') hahah I know! I would've left hours of that in if I could lol

[@amywoolsey6591]

Thanks, Ashleigh. This is great. It's really nice to see someone set up their first shop from scratch with all the details like you did. I've been considering the Epson XP-970 as well. I hope you're liking it.

[@AshleighKing]

thanks Amy! I have been loving it so far! Definitely recommend!

[@jessicasolano_cr]

Muchas Felicidades Ashleigh, súper emocionada por la apertura de tu tienda, saludos desde Costa Rica 🌷✨👏

[@andrewwhitehouse1878]

I really loved this video, thank you so much. While I'm not making visual art, (music for me), I really appreciated how simple you made this feel and how creative and fun it felt, like I could do this myself. I'd really love to see other videos talking about how you built up your audience this would be really useful. Thank you!

[@laprofakey3812]

Felicitaciones Ash, saludos desde Lima Perú 🇵🇪, tus vídeos son tan motivacionales para mí ya que cómo artista que soy necesito inspiración para creer, crecer y seguí adelante 🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️

[@beatriceroosmark9796]

Only half way through your video and I’ve already got so much info!! Thank you for this ❤

[@jervinmateo]

This is inspiring! I love your attention to detail on everything.

[@kathyl6677]

I'm just starting, building my current skills, but also watching videos like this for research. I do calligraphy. I just did a piece for a friend, 18" x 24". Most of what I plan will be smaller. Very inspirational, Ashleigh. Thank you for sharing these steps. I was planing, also, to use print in demand, but maybe that should wait until I can't keep up with demand. Something to think about.

[@ambrosialbujo2383]

Wow 😍😍 This is such a detailed video. Love this 🌸 Thank you for this. I really wanted to buy one of your paintings. ♥️

[@donsdoodleart]

[@AshleighKing]

I appreciate this so much! 🥰

[@izzyisabou8498]

Love that you send everything with heartfelt meaning. I would suggest though not to use the twine for the simple reason that during transit something heavy maybe laid on top of your envelope and the twine knots will leave a dent in your prints. I use to do custom print framing and I’ve seen many prints damaged even in the most protective way for shipping. Keep up the wonderful work!

[@JoyceChow]

Congratulations! Your work is incredible!

[@JoJozinw]

Parabéns, Ash!!! Seus vídeos me proporcionaram mt alegria. Foram de inspiração. O primeiro dia que encontrei seu canal, me inscrevi na hora. Suas artes são radiantes!!! Sucesso na sua loja online!!!! Te amo!! 🇧🇷🇧🇷

Hi Ashley!! How exciting! Congrats to you, well done!! I have a question for your Q&A video…. Can you tell us a bit more about the scanning/ making a template in Photoshop/printing bit of the process? I don’t feel very confident in that area at all. Thank you and best wishes x Oh and afterthought 😅 how do you keep track of sales/profit for your taxes?
