Focusing on quality is good. You don't have to be a trained artist to recognize the moment an artist switches from their passion, to trying to churn out paintings to earn money. I get it, and I don't judge that. I 100% understand and have done it. But quality suffers when your dream isn't there.

[@marthamayronson]

100% agree!

One piece of advice that was given to me by an artist who lives off of commissions is ‘don’t even entertain the prospect of doing commissions until your art brand is established.’ She explained that the reason she does commissions now is because she is trapped. She decided to accept them early in her career and now she’s stuck painting photorealistic portraits of children at barely above break even prices for people who knit-pick her work and complain about the prices because, unfortunately, that became what the public identified her with despite the fact that her real style and preferred subject is completely different.

Practicing mindfulness is a great way to stay present and avoid distractions. Thank you Martha for this underrated vid

Hi Martha I am enjoying your videos thank you.I think many artists including myself land up using print on demand simply as an additional revenue stream.The ideal of course is to be able to sell your paintings at a fair price and not need alternative sources of income.

I always enjoy your content Martha- great advice, always.

[@marthamayronson]

I appreciate that so much Domenica! 🤗

[@catherinehayartist]

This is everything I wanted to hear, thank you Martha. Completely agree with these points!

[@marthamayronson]

Glad it was helpful Catherine! 🤗

Can you really sell one original artwork for a valuable price if the finished piece is actually digital?

[@sheilatanart9874]

I don’t think licensing or mass production is short term game. These channels are a long game! And many contemporary artists do brand collaborations - Kaws, Damien Hirst, Warhol. Nothing wrong with these channels if done right.

[@marthamayronson]

Good point! I do agree with you, what these artists did is establish a reputation for themselves and build a market for their work first and what I’m referring to in this video is when artists turn their artwork into merchandise and focus on that first which in my experience is not a beneficial strategy.

Hi, Martha! been following you and binge watching your videos, honestly found your channel to be one of the most legit in adding value to artists regarding this whole business world of the thing, thank you for that! This video particularly got stuck on my mind. I've seen advices on how to make money with your art on youtube, but most of these channels focused on a rather "mainstream" kind of art. I was wondering if you agree that there are styles that are easier to sell than others and if would say that your advices could also work for artists with a less eye candy body of work?

[@marthamayronson]

Thanks so much for watching and for your kind words! 🤗 I work with a lot of artists working in a wide range of styles and mediums; the most important thing is making work that is true to you, from the soul, and having the ability to convey the meaning behind your works and why you do what you do with your audience 🙏

Hi Martha, I know you specialize in the business side of art, but I'm wondering whether you know fine art online learning platform/teachers/resources who are faithful to fine art, whose price are affordable for students.. As you know a lot of online art tutorial doesn't really follow professional fine art practices, so I'm afraid I'll get lost or develop a bad habit if I just follow any art advice out there.. Thanks before! Ps: I'd really like to join your programs in the future when my fine art skills & budget is sufficient.. I'm not there yet so this info will really help! Thanks
