Getting Art Gallery Representation

[@FergusonArt]

Definitely love the hard honest truth in this video. Thankyou Tim.

Great video! I'm doing all kinds of things so I look scattered. I'll just see something and want to do it. Art is my therapy. It keeps me on a good track mentally and relieves stress while I get in a Zen mode.

[@timpackerfinearts]

@@annettemunnich3533 nothing wrong with that 😊👍

I've been bingeing your KZbin channel for a couple of weeks while recuperating from shoulder surgery, and I'm sold... I am your newest enrollee. I'm looking forward to getting back to my canvas and developing skills. Thank you, Tim P.S. I did not enroll in your snow scene course as I am in Louisiana. Snow is not our local color.😁

I'm wondering if any abstract artists are achieving this success. Everyone you feature seems to paint quite representationally, still life or landscape. What if someone doesn't want to paint that way. Do they have a chance for success?

[@brandonmagnus4414]

I thought one of his successful students was an abstract artist but maybe I’m wrong

[@timpackerfinearts]

@@lyndagoldman3251 there are many abstract artist who are quite successful, but …and this is a big but. The most successful abstract artists have also mastered all of the traditional skills, techniques and concepts. They paint abstractly because they choose to. Many unsuccessful abstract artists paint abstracts because they lack the skill and knowledge to do anything else… and they don’t want to invest the time and effort to gain the skill and knowledge. … and yes one of my students Amy Adams won an honourable mention in the Artist Magazines annual open competition with an abstract painting.

It seems like a catch 22. If you're already selling on your own, I'm not sure why you need a gallery. But they don't want you otherwise.

[@timpackerfinearts]

@@ravenkushner Galleries have access to higher net worth clients and can help an artist’s prices get to a much higher price point. It also allows an artist to reach a national or international audience without having to travel👍

[@Impulseartworks]

What’s your advice for artists who arnt selling any art or getting overwhelming reactions?

[@timpackerfinearts]

In that case you have an "art" problem.The best thing that you can do is to work to continue to develop your skills...(drawing and composition being the most important pillars) then spending time in "Process mode" pushing your creativity and trying new things. I have an entire suite of online courses that is designed to help artists do just that.

I must say this sounds unattainable where I live in Slovenia with 2mio people. We only have a fistful of galleries, we only have crafts shows and fairs, so this can't work here... Also, there is only the first kind of village appreciated by these galleries... Happy for you though....

[@timpackerfinearts]

Sometimes we have to move to where the opportunity is... if the ultimate goal is important enough to us.👍

[@NivesUljan]

I don't want to make excuses, but I have moved in my life more the 20 times. I am settled finally in my 50's.... There's gotta be some other way then to move.. But here people rarely buy art, so it's not really any oportunities, if there are - are for paintings for 300eur, anything more expensive is a collaps.... Thanks for your previous reply Tim
