Does anyone have experience selling their hand made artwork?
I'm at the stage where I will be painting a lot, mostly macabre/surrealism landscapes acrylic paintings on canvas of many sizes. I want to eventually sell these and sell the originals.
My questions are:
1) Has anyone on here sold original paintings over the internet with general success? (I'm talking like 1 a month—not looking for anything crazy)
2) Has anyone regularly purchased original artworks from "nobodies"?
3) What are your thoughts on purchasing original artwork in general. Do you see it as a possible investment or something "special" to have in your home/office as a conversation piece?
4) If you do sell original artwork/paintings/hand made products.. which online websites do you use that are more successful? Do I start and Etsy account? Should I start my own website and sell of there?
5) How successful can you be by doing a tradeshow/gallery showing? Any experiences there?
6) If you were to purchase an original painting, would you prefer to purchase online? In a gallery? At a tradeshow? Locally?
7) What type of painting/style would you purchase?
I know this stuff is very niche, I might not really get much replies, but any advice would help me determine if it is something I could pursue for fun.
