    3 things that worked for me:
    1. I blocked out all distractions.
    2. I read book called Hidden Laws Of The Game
    3. I stayed consistent no matter what.

    I've read the comments about artist's & business. I have rarely met an artist who likes to paint commissions. I do. But, I have a 5 page contract, spells it out. There is a succession of steps that need to be completed, signed off by the customer with payments when they are happy. I show them sketches, photos, discuss colors, materials, delivery dates. And, I deliver on time. While I am painting, I have a clear goal and I know this painting is sold. The customer loves it. What can be better? And when I explain this method to a fellow artist, they cross their arms. Why? Because accountability goes both ways when there is a contract.

      @@eliphase09_art I looked at your beautiful artwork, and I can see where it could be challenging with a commission. Realism, and maybe a portrait! Most of us cannot agree on what is real to begin with. If you are an artist who can draw what you see, then share a sketch that will be almost there, say your art will be within 10% of that target. They need to sign it, or agree in writing in text or email. If not, try to fix it. If not be willing to walk away. I've had the customer from hell and I have paid my dues. It is our responsibility to not lose control of the sale. These people want to be your customer, help them have a great experience buying from you.

      @@joelhenry4643 Most of my commissions are after the client likes my work, but did not find the exact fit. My interview is simply finding the exact thing they are looking for by brainstorming with them. They may be hesitant because they don't know if you can make the art they want. You have to offer it. Then I send sketches of the future art, they pick the size. If I can, I get a photo of where they will hang, then I photoshop my sketch in place. Sometimes they just hold their phone in front of where they want the art to go. My contract spells out subject matter, size, materials, process, timing, and payments. I know how long it takes me, I give myself an extra week just in case. Deliver early, never make excuses. They will love you.

    In my experience as an Artist. Whenever I try to make Artwork to sell it never works. When I just do my own thing art that just flows from me . They are the Artworks that people want.
    I've also developed my own system of painting and I have absolutely no idea beforehand of what the outcome will be before I start . It's like an adventure.

      @@Fiveash-Art I think a Fifty Fifty approach might help you.
      When you show your artwork. Show some of the ones you usually can sell but keep gradually introducing your more personal stuff.
      There is an audience for everything you just have to find it.
      It might be just one person who wants everything you produce.
      So never give up.
      Plus like I said whenever I make something to sell it doesn't sell .
      So maybe try just showing your work without price tags and expectations of selling it. Hope you are successful.

I show everything.. people seem to like looking at my surreal stuff .. but they don't want to buy it. Galleries reject it because it's too 'traditional' 😂 and people don't want to buy them because they're 'too weird'. At least that's what I've gathered over the years of doing this stuff.

    Heres an advice for artist: find a partner who would run the business side, while you just focus on painting what you love and then commercial painting.
    The mistake most people make is they try to do everything on there own, and i am so damn sure artist are very self motivated which means they would be very independent.
    So find someone who understands the business side, while you just focus on the art side.

      No we artists aren't reluctant to anything, we just do not have the time to do the art of marketing! Marketing is a field that requires as much time as becoming a master in art! We only have one life not two! If we choose marketing our art becomes a cheap average product that is low quality art. Anyways AI will replace gallerists or anyone anyways because the public doesn't understand the value of the artists story behind the artworks. You will struggle no matter what you do because artists unlike doctors do not have unions so they do not even have legal power of any kind! Nobody protects all artists, only galleries protect the artists they represent who sell to wealthy millionaires. The idea she is selling here, is not a reality for most artists for a reason. Every day there are more teachers of art online and many do not make a penny! To compete in the market on you tube is as hard as competing anywhere else. I agree with her making videos, is the best shot but making great quality with real creativity that are substantial and that not only add value, but that people love to watch, is not a simple recipe! Stop saying artists do not want to work hard in the business area because that is exactly how they survive out of their own industry that is absolutely exclusive since the times of Michelangelo!

    Spent all my time painting things I cared nothing about when I started doing commission work. I started off as a Wildlife artist selling my art while I was still in high school, ended up painting pictures of houses, barns and old cars and doing portrait drawings. I got way to burnt out! That was almost 7 years ago. Now I do what I like to do, I have discovered new ways to keep my art exciting. I am considering her advice. I no-longer sell any of my work because I have been painting and creating art since the 1980s and had nothing but photos left to look back at. I spend most of my time exploring the arts, like statuary & sculpture, carving, mold making & casting and of course painting. I am 100% self-taught and I learn something new every day and that is truly what keeps me excited about the art. I regret never studying under one of the great wildlife artists by taking weeklong classes when they were offered. You Tube is the best place to get art knowledge if you do not want to take classes. I am now 60 and I really enjoy the arts more than ever.

And people liked my work and I would sell it all the time and back then we had no way to really record our art digitally like we can today and that's where I think I want to pick up my paint brushes again, I can make the original and from there I have options, digital options!
      Back in the day I lived on a dairy farm, and when we had a cow passed away we would you know just drag it out to a canyon in one of our pastures. My husband and I would go out there on a four-wheeler and find skulls, I would take them home and clean them and get the gesso them and start painting and I would sell those skulls 17:17 for $300 a piece, I had a horseshoeing client who gave me a raccoon skull she found in a sandbar in a river on her property and we cleaned that up and painted it and it went to an art show and got honorable mention and it sold for around $100 it was matted and framed to believe it or not - I'm interested in abstract art now, and I want to learn how to use an airbrush, liquid acrylic paint and tape - that would be the latest new frontier for me!

Otherwise, take the potential loss in revenue and do it the right way: Be a real artist and try to get more actual art into the world.

    Thank you for this video. And I would say to ignore all the negative comments complaining, because some people just don’t like hearing the truth. I almost didn’t watch this because these types of videos USUALLY are clickbait, but yours was the exception. It really is amazing to me how many people think they can make a stable living selling paintings, doing commissions, etc., and you not only called that out but explained how to follow a better path that will enable people to make their art and make a good living at the same time.

  • @TheMatureArtist
    @TheMatureArtist 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +9

    I do watercolor tutorials on my TH-cam channel. but despite years of experience teaching in schools and colleges and selling hundreds of paintings. The TH-cam algorithm ignores me. They say if you keep plugging away for a year or two you may take off. To be honest I'm not prepared to waste that amount of time .

  • @adrianvanleeuwen
    @adrianvanleeuwen 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +9

    All good points. Sounds like some of the best ways to make money creating art, is to educate others doing TH-cam content or creating online courses. Doing 1 on 1 client custom paintings can add some extra revenue, but this can be inconsistent. Etsy might be a good way to sell artwork as prints or digital downloads, or original custom work, but again only volume sales work to make it a full time income. I think an artist these days needs multiple revenue streams, including perhaps gallery showings for original art, or a deal with a local gallery to split the sale prices. However, a successful TH-cam channel and selling online courses might be all a person needs for a full-time income teaching art, along with affiliate income recommending art supplies on Amazon linked to the channel. Once a channel is monetized, Amazon will pay 4% for linked sales from a channel.

    The most important part of art making is coming to grips with why we do it. Children draw to impress their moms with how much they've learned already. Our ancestors decorated the walls of caves with amazing representations of hunted animals as far as can be from the art market. Selling art is not about art making, but about trying to monetize the outcome of an internal process. Art making on its own is about a reason for living. A reason for living is not marketable. Products people want are. - It took me half a century to understand that secret. 😉

    I mean I like when I walk into the local cafe and someone greets me as his favorite artist and asks me to sit down because he wants something from me and we stike up a good conversation.
    The difficult part is when its just me staring at a blank canvas hoping I can do it without disappointing someone. I hate that part. Then the stress to have it done in time. Its a love hate thing.❤😢

I have been debating back and forth about starting a TH-cam channel for various reason, some you have mentioned. But from what you have just said i believes that you just a gave me a steping stone to an amazing adventure the lord is about to take me into. Listening to your mesaage i think the over all idea I got is that, TH-cam is a great place to share your life journey that you believe will encourage others. So thank you. May the bless you. I will definitely send a Shout out to you once I start off.😊🎉🎉

I sometimes feel just trapped in a bubble, always researching how to get my art out there, posting here on TH-cam, and other platforms, creating my own shop, etc. Then once I put it out, it's crickets. It sucks, but at the end of the day I love what I do and I keep doing it. I know that one day, it will all pay off for me so I just keep going. I've learned some new things from your video that I shall give a try. Thank you.

    Which true artist would want to do that??? Plus, that stuff eats up most of your time, and energy too!!! It's not passive money!! Just like real estate. One always needs to be on the job...

      Thanks for your reply, Kayla. Ok, for monetizing, but you don't monetize your art. You work jobs, (YT channel, and sell courses...ok, kind of in the field but not really) and paint on the side, really. If that satisfies you, that's great. It wouldn't me. Because tjat takes up at least 75% of thectime and energy if not more! Any kind of psy the bills job does that.
      By the title I just thought we could really find ways to monetize our art in a direct way!
      I'd prefer to teach in art schools, and such, if I wanted to teach. Which I don't anymore. Having a YT channel, I don't know... All this virtual stuff gets to me a lot... We are on our scteens way more than face to face, with people. And, that's a big problem nowadays.
      Anyway, good luck to you! And, glad you could make so much money off those jobs! I wosh I too can find a satisfying way to earn big cash! 🙏
      Have a nice day.

    Lovely video, very helpful. I love your sense of humor! I consider myself an artist, though, I haven't drawn in a while. When I was younger, drawing (usually in ink) was my absolute obsession! I went through stacks of paper, weekly. I sold handmade greeting cards, and did custom art & poetry for people. As a child, I also did other craft work, like sewing & jewelry repair. Sometimes, I got paid like, $300 in a single weekend, which, for a kid, made me feel like I was rolling in moolah!! My money disappeared quickly, though as my family was often strapped for cash. As an adult, I make jewelry for sale in my Etsy Shop. I love making jewelry, but hate the business side of things. It's just not in my wheel house at all. So, for me, the shine has worn off of selling jewelry. My latest obsession is writing, especially songwriting, which I've been doing since 2010. And THAT is where I found inspiration in your video. Weird, right?! I think it's applicable, though. I could do songwriting classes, videos, etc. I don't have a great voice or play an instrument, and even for those who do, many musical/vocal artists don't make tons of money. Additional income streams are always welcome! I'm no songwriting expert, surely, but, if sharing my story and lyrical journey with someone else would help them... AND help me pay the bills, I don't really see a downside.

    There is a way to increase the ceiling when doing events.
    There are two steps.
    1) multiple calls to action. Examples; one night only, private party, open bar, great food, raffle to win a print, happy bucks (free gift card only good for one night) discounts and on and on. Have at least 5 calls to action. Ask yourself if one of your offers would get you off the couch?
    2) Marketing the event. Same thing at least 5 ways. Text message, emails, phone calls, post card with the calls to action. Sign up book, in store signs private invitation and so on.
    Doing there's things changed my events from doing $30k that night to $100k or more.
    Don't be afraid to give.

    Since you mentioned the Klondike and the shovel… there is an excellent book called “The Klondike” by Pierre Berton. In this book, the author talks about “mining the miner”, where in fact, those who got rich during the gold rush, were the merchants and service providers, not the gold prospectors. Your mentioning simply reminded me of this book :)
