Advice for Artists Trying to Sell their Paintings
You are an artist with a lot of talent, but you’re having trouble selling your paintings. Don’t worry! There are many different ways to promote yourself and increase sales. You just need to find the right strategy that suits your style of painting, then execute it over time until you see the results that you want.
This blog post will provide some advice for artists trying to sell their paintings, including what steps they should take before even starting marketing their work.
Steps to take before marketing your artwork:
Find a space to show your paintings in person
This is very important because it allows you to meet people face-to-face and build relationships with them. Put yourself out there, even if you feel scared or uncomfortable! Try going on open studio events (or “artist’s receptions”), joining an artist collective, or exhibiting at art fairs and other exhibitions that are relevant to your style of painting.
Create a website with information about you and your work. This is a key part of marketing yourself because it allows people from all over the world to learn more about you and your paintings. Make sure to include high-quality photos of your paintings and information about the following:
– What inspires you?
– How did you start painting?
– Which artists inspire you, either in terms of themes or technique?
– Where can people buy your work (your website if possible)? Include prices. If any galleries represent you, mention that as well.
Use social media to promote yourself and connect with potential buyers
Platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter offer great opportunities for artists to get their work in front of more people. Try using hashtags related to your paintings (e.g., #abstractpainting), following other accounts that might be interested in your work, and posting regularly. Don’t be afraid to ask your followers for suggestions on how you can improve!
Start networking
Start networking with other artists, galleries, art collectors, etc., for more exposure. Getting involved in the local arts community is a great way to expand both your network and knowledge of the market. If there are any opportunities available to exhibit your work with other artists, take them! It’s also a good idea to attend art fairs and meet-ups where you can learn more about the art world.
Be patient!
Selling a painting is a great way to make extra cash, but it takes a lot of time and effort to get there. It can be discouraging to put up an online shop, only to find that your paintings aren’t getting any interest. However, if you keep plugging away at it, you’ll eventually start seeing success.Â
Selling paintings takes time and effort, so don’t get discouraged if you don’t see results immediately. Keep up the good work and your efforts will pay off!
