Goodness, this video was wonderful. I've been an artist since a young girl. Now in this season of my life have decided to become a full time artist. I truly am thankful for your videos as they're extremely helpful and your opinion is greatly valued.
Suz, thank you for sharing such kind words; I'm so glad you're finding my content useful. BEST of luck to you on your journey to going full-time! Very excited for you!
Thank you so much for answering my question! I love your videos and your business advice. It is so appreciated. Your art work is gorgeous as well. I wish you the very best and all of the success.
Another AWESOME vid! (video idea) since traffic is the key to promoting your art, what is your process to getting traffic to your etsy site, blog or where people can see your art? (email list, FB ads and..?) fans want to know
Hi Ellen.... great video, you should do more of these.... I know people always have many questions about how you work and I look forward to seeing more of these. Hopefully the pandemic is winding down so artists can get back to work again, especially if you travel for your business. Stay safe.
These were great questions and answers - great video! Your artwork is so beautiful would be great to see some more samples of your work. I think if someone called me a witch I would say thanks for noticing haha.
I love this video! I wouldn't care if it was twice as long. Thank you for being so kind and inspiring towards all artists (beginners or not). Your resources are super helpful. Big blessings!!! 💕
Hi there, Adriana! :) Below my video you'll see a short description of what it's all about. Then you should see the words 'show more'. Just click on that and it will expand the description bar; you'll find all of my links there.
Hi Ellen, When you put artwork in a shop, do you have a written agreement with them regarding what percentage of your sale they take, and how and when they pay you? Thanks, Lesley Paul
Hello! It's always a good idea to get a written agreement, otherwise you might be waiting a long while for payments. An organized shop owner will offer you one; if not, you should definitely request one for your own protection.
Hi Ellen! Thank you so much for this video! This info is priceless :-) I've been thinking about printing my own prints and I swear I was going to DM you to ask you what you do for your prints! One question.. what do you think about limited edition prints? I'm on the fence about whether I want to offer them or not. Thanks again! xxoo
Sweet Molly, thank you for your comment! Always lovely to hear from you ❤️🥰 So, with LE prints, my personal experience has not been favorable of them. But I also don't feel as though they fit into my business model. By offering them, I'm essentially limiting myself opportunities for my work to reach more people and for me, that means missing out on potential income, exposure, etc. Not to mention, I've tried offering them in the past and they never sold any faster than my open edition prints, nor did I make more money by offering them.
@@EllenBrennemanStudio Thanks so much for the reply Ellen! The TH-cam bot must have read my comment because right after this video your video about LE prints from years ago popped up! I watched it and it was great!🙏
Thank you so much for sharing all of that great information. Excellent video as always!
Good art skills and good business skills equal sales!

Your work is gorgeous! You have such a natural style of public speaking! Thank you for being so open and accommodating to us. Thank you!
You are so generous with your compliments, Sandy - they are much appreciated as I always think I have trouble articulating much of the time - haha!
Thank you for sharing this video Ellen! I have been working on a new painting series that connects with spiritually. 😊

Can you please tell me again the name of the app for my cell phone to take photos of my artwork.
Being called a witch or pagan is not a bad thing.
Some of the kindest people I know are practicing, and I wholeheartedly agree :)
