Hi Melissa, thank you so much for sharing your process with us. I'm a huge fan of your work and I also paint, too. I'm from Trinidad and I do Caribbean neo pop art. It's really wonderful to see how another artist works and preps their canvases. Truly awesome. (And I make sure to ask for a deposit on paintings as well - actually learned the hard way, hahahaa!) Continue to inspire, Melissa, and thanks again! :-D
Thankyou for this video , I am fairly new to commissioned paintings and how to present them to the client, I didn’t know where to start before this video .. I learned many helpful things.. thankyou ! the certificate of authenticity is a neat idea and great way to personalize your packaging for client
Yes that is what I was hoping to see too! The strategy behind the painting! Hey Falconer, if you have shared such a video, will you share the link with us?
Hi, Melissa! New subscriber!! You were suggested in my feed and I'm glad I clicked on your thumbnail and watched. I love your calmness and approach to your work and life. Thank you for being real and keeping things smooth. Will be diving into your other videos soon. Keep creating and being you! :-)
This was soo informative and enjoyed the time-lapse if you could please make a video of how to process commissions legally like the making of terms and conditions, invoice like basically the legal terms that will be soo helpful. Thank you
Please do a price video! I have tried to start my own art buis and figuring out pricing is so difficult. Your content is so helpful I am so happy to have found your page!
Thank you so much. I’m just starting out and this is so helpful. Can you do separate video on pricing? And can I steal your certificate of Authenticity idea? It’s so adorable lol. I collect dolls and they come w/ those also.
Thank you so much for this video. I love love your work. May i ask what size boxes do you use for each canvas? Also where do you order them from? Thank you in advance.
Great video. I'm an artist working on my own book, and album covers, book covers, and portrait commissions, etc. Thanks for your feedback. You're really great.
Also, how do you start to get your collectors? Do you just put yourself out there with family and friends on FB? The ones that want art for free or $20 or $30..lol.. Im only using Instagram and I don’t have a real big following yet.
@@77deerose Yeah, definitely put yourself out there by consistently sharing your work on Instagram. The goal is to generate a solid body of work so that potential clients will know what to expect from you if they were to commission you.
Thank you for sharing your insights. I’ve just getting started with commissions and have no idea where to start. This was so helpful!
You just gave away a ton of great advice. I'll have my dad share this link to 20K of his followers.
