I've had an Etsy shop for about 3 years now selling acrylic paintings and prints and notecards. I've had I think just 56 sales in that time, of those sales only one was a painting, one was an assortment of note cards and the rest were prints. About 50 of the sales were directed there by me. A couple came from people who know me and the other few were random. I've worked hard with keywords, seo etc to no avail. I'm confident in the quality.of my art but etsy is tough to get traction on. For me anyway

I am glad I found your video . Thank you. I was about to varnish a painting I put on the wall on the balcony but not on full sun. I live near the sea . Do you think I do need to protect it against the dust and wind ? Is spraying better than brushing ? I have never used varnish on any of my painting . Thank you 🙏

that's your fault. you should be getting their emails and putting them through an email sequence. plus in order to get your 40% off they should write their email on a coupon, then hand it to you. email is the most powerful tool for any business. you can tell people where you will be also

Great video. What size frame would I need for a 8 x 10 canvas panel board based on your first framing? Thanks.

This is really good. Thank you! I'm just getting started with acrylics -- but it's model painting for games, not art. Although I'm not expecting these pieces to last 20 years, they get more travel than I'd expect a painting to do, so understanding how the paint ages and wears is important.

makes a lot of sense, I will have my daughter who sells her art works at street festivals watch this video. I went to one fair where an artist was selling great small paintings of comic super heroes starting at $100, that was a bit too much for a very small piece of art.

How do you manage your prints if they are packet seperately? Do you have them all packed behind your booth and ready to restock a print if it is sold? Anyway, thank you for awesome videos!

THOUSANDS of people? The shows around here would be lucky to crack 300 people. No wonder nothing is moving. Nobody comes to these shows and the people who DO come don't want to spend any money.

I just watch a video where the lady suggested spending up to 70% of your time posting on social media. I thought that wad insane! I barely have enough time to paint as it is with everything else that comes with trying to sell art. I have however sold a number of prints on Facebook groups by clandestinely posting paintings on hiking and backpacking groups like you suggested in one of your videos

I love your Art work! Awesome!

Thank you!

Thank you

Went to liquitex page and the say no breathing protection required for their varnish, what do you guys think?? Great video btw

Can´t concentrate on the content

💖 I like them. I have some canvas art that i have a hard time displaying. The print beds look like a good possible choice too use

I usually have to avoid events where the main entertainment is free and it's NOT the vendors. Younger people and parents buy my art, but for some reason it's more like when they're just being a family "in the wild" not because they're attending a "family" event. I don't really understand it. I also have a high sell rate if I say "let me know if you have any questions," to people who are browsing. That way I leave alone those who don't respond positively, and then chat up the ones who seem like they'd like some more interaction.

The shadows around the ankle of the cat’s foremost paw are out of sync with the photo. The entire arm appears fat and out of proportion. Both paws look more like a catcher’s mit. You might want to look at that and possibly redo the right leg and both paws. The pillow doesn’t bother me so much.

Hi, I am also impressed on your product and ideas. I am from India.

I see it all the time where artists will be at a street fair selling their art, but having it priced as if there were at a art show. A big note is pricing your art for the people at the event. If you don't want to drop y our prices, perhaps bring smaller pieces that you sell for less. But if you expecting to sell 4" x 6" art to a lot of people at a street fair $200 each you will be very disappointed.

Thank you🩵

Thank you. I've been window shopping between Epson, HP and others.

It looks like an impressive piece of kit. Definitely would love something like this. Perhaps something a little smaller as I think I would just like to make prints up to maybe A2 size. Thanks for sharing your experience with this printer Krystle :o)

When you say "only" 10000 visitors....the events i have attended have had maybe 700 visitors and that felt like alot😂But i live in Sweden and i guess all things are bigger in the US where I guess you live😁😃

I have just come across your channel and I am sooo grateful for the wealth of information you offer. I have been taking steps to venture out and start to offer prints of my work. I have watched 4 of your videos so far and learned or confirmed so much, especially regarding your recommended printer. I must admit I was a little distressed thinking that the P900 was already being superceded .....but thank goodness....No!! Here in Australia, this model is known as the P906. Same... same...but different name!!🙄 Thankyou!!!

At one craft event, I was next to a "hawker".... he was yelling out for people to come to his booth to get some kind of a deal and the result? Some people skipped right by the booths on either side of him to go to his booth (not giving customers a chance to see our stuff), and other people hurried by our whole section so they could get away from him. I made it a point to never set up anywhere near that guy again!

I’m thinking of buying a used epson surecolor 6000. I use hp large formats right now. From 11x17 all the way to 46 inch. But my printers can’t go past 11 mil thick material. But the surecolor 6000 can. N for $500-$1000… but can u refill the T804 ink cartridges at home?

What size are the prints that you are selling for $17.99? Are they matted? Thanks; very helpful video.

Question about the tent and display walls you have Amazon listing for. How do you keep the tops of the display walls (what we hang the art on) level when the tent structure you attach it to isn’t a straight line? It’s zig-zagged?

Showing for "exposure" is one of the biggest cons grifters use to make money off of artists without having to share the profits. One doesn't see accountants or lawyers being asked to work for "exposure." The other big con is gallerists who won't sign contracts, but expect to receive thousands of dollars worth of artwork based on only a handshake. As if they'd hand their own automobile to a stranger based on only a handshake! And, of course, rip-offs abound here, too. People can lose all sense of proportion and fairness when it comes to money. It's artist beware out there.

I bought a Euromax on Amazon for about $130, with tax & shipping.

Hard to say, a painting can be just for you to see, but a t-shirt is for everyone else but you to see.

An option for commissions is to get them to commit by making a small (even $5-10) down payment and scheduling a date/time/location to meet up to get reference material.

Really great tips!

I’ve been attending art fairs for over 50 years. Major Shows all over the county along with street fairs. You have to know your market. If you carry smaller items some of the venues you discuss may work. But I have attended shows where the first year was strictly Art and artists did very well. Only to later attend those same shows that took the “carnival “ route and fail miserably. People are out to play with their kids…not buy fine art. Most of my artist friends agree that when people do pay to get into a show the crowds are less but those people are serious about buying artwork. Besides in “ carnival “ shows most turn out to be more like flea markets… with a lot of imported goods passed off as genuine artwork. And if cheap then customers tend to lean towards that as purchases. And Never cheapen your artwork by putting up sale signs. That only makes people believe they can haggle over your prices. And not only hurts you but your fellow artists.

I like the cat in the background.

You say in the video that you are looking for a new printer because you are having problems finding ink for your P800. Why would you recommend the P800 if there are issues getting ink? Wouldn’t the newer P900 be a better choice long term? Just wanting to understand your thought process.

Hi! Do you have advice for what type of work/how to price for print bin or postcards at fairs?

How bout smoke machines? They good? Also i will play flute music. Lol

Thank you for the idea❤

One of the smartest art seller I saw was a dude that everyday displayed a couple of paintings by the entrance of the first class reception room in an international airport. Everyoen that passed by him surely had the money to buy . And he had a sign written "Posted to any place in world".

Ive been at several shows where organizers do not allow you to visually discount items through sales signs, up to actually being dismissed from your spot and not welcome back.

That advice about traffic flow/space in a booth is super important. I'm on the bigger scale hip + butt wise (and I don't think dieting/lifestyle will actually change that, just perhaps tone the muscles) and multiple booths will CRAM their goods onto rickety tables, where I'm elbow to elbow with my husband and the things they're selling, so I'm always trying to be mindful because I don't want to ruin anyone's prized works, but it often means most booths will be inaccessible and I can only look from the front, and likely won't come in to chat/ask/browse. This is also an issue with people who need walkers, walking sticks or wheelchairs. People with disabilities, or mobility issues, will not be coming to your booths, or even the events themselves, simply because organizers or booth owners tend to overlook making accommodations. There is no use in providing ramps if the building someone is trying to enter is packed elbow to elbow with crowds because multiple tables have been set up in a small space, so that's always a consideration people need to keep in mind.

cool painting

Aw. Man I didn't even THINK about bubbles. We actually sold bubbles at our booth. 😅 Fortunately it wasn't an art fair but a bigfoot festival, so hopefully no damage done. But it was my first booth anywhere so I have a lot to learn. It's nice you are putting up lists like this. Notes taken.

Thank you.

❤

How do these dry as a thick impasto texture? :) so a pile pile on after 24 hours, does it bend / droop? is it heavy? would it stand on a canvas or would it need a wooden base? Thanks so much!

Typical Liberals, now they are coming for our bubbles! 🤣🤣🤣

I hate country-western 🤢 and love drum and bass 🥰.
