How to Price Your Art standard

Help! How do I Price My Paintings? Guest article by March 18, 2014 By Melissa Dinwiddie A few months ago I started sharing snapshots of works in progress on social media.

How To On A Small Budget Who are You? Curated by: Guest Contributor Angela Cross Brand (verb) – To mark indelibly Think of branding as a stamp, by which people will be able to recognize you. Branding is a process of clarifying who you are as an artist and what your goals are. A strong brand can capture a potential fan or patron’s attention and have them remember you and connect with your work. If this happens often enough, you will have a budding fan base. Though branding yourself as an artist is important, lets face the facts: great branding does not make you a great artist, and being a great artist doesn’t make you into a profitable artist. To ...
