Are you interested making money in fine arts? Well if you are an artist then you can forget about the money part that's the part you're not gonna get it.Anything else is just fine.We all know many artists around including ourselves beeing one, how many people do you know who buy arts?And why someone should buy your art why?why?Why anyone should even buy an artwork in the first place did you think about that?Well friends let me clear one one thing
First too many people are relying on paintings to make a living in art, 1-)artists (zillions of them let me clear that with one thing for you there are NO zillions of art buyers),2-)Galleries mostly sell frames without frame business they would go out of business,3-)Dealers,4-)publishers with their employees this list very long I won't go on.I have been in art business for 25 years, mostly commercial because without it I could not put food on the table,This has nothing to do you beeing good or bad, there are just not many art buyers out there.
We all buried under our egos as if we're the only artist out there ooh gee my work is superior and people go for my work WOOOOV holly s..t unbelievable yeah. Friends nobody cares, art lost its momentum it is going down.With this computer age, future of art along with population groving number of artist and artist wanna be's no good.
you want to be succesfull and make a good living art is a wrong business
