Sell a piece of artwork


 

How to sell a piece of artwork by sexyalexanderala

"It took alot of patience, I was very proud. My task was to make a piece of art a family friend would enjoyto have. I new I had to work hard, and earn the right to get paid for my art, and I did."

How I did it:  I used ultra fine point sharpies, I made a mountian side with chinese symbols in it, and the ocean climbing its side, with two clouds in the sky. Its hard to explain what it looks like but I could show an example of the style I used.

Lessons & tips: Search from God and what lies in your heart.

    Only one piece of my artwork has been sold…..but I should like that:). I love art and it’s my way to get away, to release my soul.:)

    I don’t have a picture of what I sold but here is a painting I did.

    OMG 6 months ago

    Someone, a reading teacher at a school in my district, is interested in purchasing one of my paintings! I have no idea how to price art, so I don’t know how much I’ll get, but this is just really excited. I have the chance to check off one of my life goals while still in high school. Oh my god.

    Another example 12 months ago

    Acrylic and tissue paper

    I still don’t quite get why there is the blue blob in the corner. I think I might eventually make it look more like water or something, or just do something else entirely there.

    Example of art 12 months ago

    Acrylic still life.

    I think, because I’m still young, I’ll be getting better, and that’ll improve my chances of selling something someday.

    Yeah 12 months ago

    I’ve had one vague could have been purchase of my work from some guy that was in Brit Lit with me. And my aunt has offered to pay for the pieces of mine she has in her house. But it’d be soo cool to actually get paid for something. Then, when I’m as broke as I currently am, artwork will seem like a better makeshift christmas gift. lol.
