Thank you for your honesty, and sharing your experience. Aloha, Sylvia Makk

Great video! Very informative! I am sure it helped many new artists! It helped me as well, and I have been around the block a few times. Lol. I look forward to checking out your other videos. Aloha! (lived in Hawaii for 34 years!) Sylvia Makk

Thank you so helpful:)

I have had my art stolen multiple times and I've had my art vandalized multiple times. I totally know how you feel! People just don't get it. I've been an artist for 30+ years and honestly, I've gotten to the point where I ignore people who make stupid comments. They are trying to help, but they have no idea what they're saying. As far as the commission for a print, I've also had people ask me for that. I just don't do commissions, period. It's not worth it. It's stressful and I hate being told what to create. One of the things I've been told multiple times that really gets me is when people tell me, "It must be nice to be an artist and just paint all day." Um, no, this is a business! I spend 50-80% of my time on business tasks. I WISH I painted all day! Thank you for this video. It is helpful to know I'm not the only one!

How do you seal the Yupo paper? I tried alcohol inks on some and the results were beautiful but weeks later when I went to put it in a frame the ink was still tacky and came right off the Yupo.

I really appreciate your advice and encouragement, as a beginner I feel like I'll never get better, I don't ever see improvement , it's so frustrating. So it really helps how you explained 😀what the process of improvement timewise. It helps to be more realistic for me. Thank you, it is very useful for my development as an oil painter. Thank you.

You are the type of arrogant woman who helped to destroy the art world. Funny thing is you have absolutely no clue what Iam talking about.

Wow

I just discovered your channel, and I’m so glad I found it! I used to do local art fairs, and boy do I have stories. When I was more inexperienced at doing art fairs, I didn’t bring anything to weigh down my tent. Guess what, we had a particularly windy day and I was literally hanging on my tent to try to keep it from turning into a kite. I learned quickly the importance of bringing weights for your tent. There was another year when we got a lot of rain and the wind blew some of my merchandise off the table and into a puddle🤦🏻‍♀️ Not to mention the days when it was, like, 100+ degrees Fahrenheit in my tent and everyone who came in complained about how hot it was then immediately left. I know people who have done really well at art fairs, but I stopped doing them because it just wasn’t worth it for me. People would come in, look around for a few seconds, then leave. I tried offering different price points but still didn’t do very well. It was very discouraging and frustrating. I blame my lack of success partly on the fact that I’m an introvert with “resting b*tch face” who isn’t a good salesperson. I often wished I could hire an extrovert who’s really good at sales to help me out.

This is so sad! You really were diligent about tracking the music cd infringement issue down. I admire you perseverance and tenacity to look the person up and the platforms that sold the music, finding and filling out the form. I am glad you had success with that particular issue. Great information! You presented it very well. I know this video is several years old. I thank you for posting it and all you do for the art community! :)

Thanks again. i am just now looking to sell my art as a new artist. I had Etsy shop and got ripped off by a customer, but was selling clothing. So online scares me too. LOL i guess you have to decide somewhere to dispaly and sell it.

Thank you! Very helpful! heading to look at Etsy now!

Copyright answer; You can ask them there names, were they live, send a bill. Otherwise there is Pictoright. This is a worldwide organisation they do this for you. There income is, I thought 25%, what they get from what they do for you. That is a possibility. In our country I know an artist, she asked all copy paintings back and burn them. Also with the newspaper to know this. When she Camry back from holiday, she saw a shop for furniture, they sold printed (China) copies from her work. She did this ask all paintings and burn them.

This video is one of the most intelligent, thorough, and informative ones I've ever seen. It's concise, insightful, and I intend to apply all of these tips and watch the other ones offered as well. Thank you!

Thanks for the honesty! Everyone else is saying to be everywhere and I am overwhelmed just thinking of it. Trying to find the online place for me as I start out as an artist.

Good video, this is helpful

I think you mean "Square inches" which means you get paid for the whole canvas, not just the edges. SO a 5 x 5" canvas is 5 X 5"= 25. Which prices out at $250. Hope that helps.

Thanks for posting this - was really helpful xx

I AM NOT GOING TO SELL MY AI ART WORK ON ETSY

I am not going to sell my AI ARTbWork On ETSY

I am not making money because you guys keep fucking with my Head

How do you get your art on your card without messing up the pixel design? Like moving from traditional to business card.

I feel like my studio space (group space) is putting that pressure on me. I sat there last night just feeling defeated. I couldnt clam. Couldnt think. Considering leaving it.

I think most businesses go through the same down side. Management and sound business principals will help pull you out of a slump, which will happen!

Do one at a time until you get it up and running like you want it. Then cautiously move forward and always be willing to cut the less profitable units out. It is about numbers and not the heart!

I am with you and have been there before but now my biggest problem with me is the packing and shipping.

My best friend said I'm a tracer when I spent 2 hours drawing something for HER💀

Modern Etsy is full of AI generated garbage drowning out real art by real humans unfortunately :(

YES,YES,YES.. PLEASE do an in depth video on finding your ideal customers. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Im sooo overwhelmed with all of this. Sometimes i think" whr am i even painting this pic? What am i going to do with it , just put it in a box". Soooo frustrating. Im writing these down 🤔

Fantastic advice,, are quote s copyright free ?? You are so right about. Having so many ideas and not knowing where to start 😊

I agree. Thank you, this was very helpful!

I was hurtful to an art theif. Kept on commenting that a liar, a theif and a fraud. Not just on the post she stole from me, but the other 5 she stole from different artists on instagram. I got my supporters to bash her too. I said she wasn’t going to get away with it. I was so harsh they deleted all their posts.

Ellen I'm your 800th 👍 thumb up 😊 RIKXECOM 😊

Ellen you're just great 👍😃 RIKXECOM 😊

etsy betsy

What about setting an auction option with a reserved price?

Thank you so very very much...Olympia Saint-Auguste...wish me fortune, thank you!

apparently you do not know the difference between square in measurement and linear measurement. 5 in X 5 in = 25 sq inches.

Do you think that the buyer of the original piece of art feels like you have the devalued their piece of art by having prints made of the same piece?

Lovely work!

I do time lapse videos, but I’m very new to UA-cam. Thanks for the tips!

We really miss you .. are you Ok ?

Wonderful information. Thanks for sharing. ❤❤❤😊

So much information 🎉thank you all and Merry Christmas 2023 🎉

As I prepared to send out my FIRST painting, I wasn’t sure what to do. I Googled, and your video came up. I wanted it to be special. Thanks so much for helping me with that. 😊

I'm such a people pleaser, wording the right reply to say no is emotionally draining

Being called a witch or pagan is not a bad thing.

firefly adobe makes it too easy for people to steal work, i have had my work stolen and sold claiming there the original, I'm on a pension have finally decided to try and sell the works where i have put a lot of time into. ps question i put a digital canvas effect on my work, do you know if they print well on canvas or is it better to print the non textured versions on canvas. i do the textures as suits my style plus hide errors disability causes motor issues tremors etc

Super helpful. Thanks!

Thank You✨
