How to Make Art That People Will Buy 

Both simplistic and brilliant.

I loved this video cuz it really helped me to see where I stand when it comes to being able to sell my art. Love the Direction and Guidance, thank you so much.

Thank you for sharing this video. I really like it. You are right about everything.

Hi, I just found you. Your tips really hit home. I just signed up at an art studio/shop, and need to make more art. I'm retired, and am not used to getting back into a busy schedule, but I'm doing it! I feel I should paint a variety of subjects, but I mostly enjoy painting birds, and starry night skies/galaxies. I don't have a website yet, nothing on social media yet, it's that new. Watching your video has been a big help!

Interesting, truthful, and I like the delivery. Years ago when I first sold my work on the NY City Street level - then sometimes people would come around and ask a lot of questions on the creation process. They begin by leading me to believe they are planning to buy, and soon disclose they intend to create the work themselves, and want to know how to do it. I would recognize and say so that you can get all the information you want to, but the only thing that actually works is to actually do the work. And lots of it. As to posting all over social media and then get feedback - I have a different approach as an 'Outsider Artist'. You see, I believe there is a lot to chose from on Social Media anyway, and so to stand out differently I display my work outdoors, I take pictures, and and leave all the work there. This makes the newspapers - Ten articles thus far. But then later I show the pictures to people in the area and get their feedback. This is very enlightening, and it gives me my direction.

"Holy buckets!" Lol! 🐿

Thank you

🙏🏻 thx

thanks for the info..

Thanks

Thanks a lot Josie. It's really helpful video and your presentation is super!!!

You are a hoot !!!! I just found you and already am following you everywhere. I want to hear everything you have to say !!!!

This is good advice. Thx. What happened? I need to know. 😁

Thank you for this video! It’s a great cheer up effort 😊

Hi Josie, thanks for all these videos! I’ve purchased several pieces from you for my daughter - your watercolor set, an 8x8 Camille painting, and also your watercolor book! Question - any recs for places to get enclosure cards printed? And also for sustainable packaging?

Thanks so much for this. I have been making art since I was hot by a car. I painted for a while ( and wallpapered my walls with my work) and now I am doign origami. I gave about 20 pieces away for xmas and a few people offered to pay me to make additional pieces for gifts. This made me want to start an Etsy shop to sell my work as I love making it and people seem to be responding to it (more than to my paintings...). Your videos on the subject of selling art have come at the exact right time! I set myself a goal of making 20 pieces to start the shop and have been spending all my spare time on folding since. Can I give you a tag for an opinion once my pieces are made? I can take criticism! Thanks again

who else did a rewind on the blooper? lol

What a great video! I want to start sharing my art on social media and plan to someday even sell it. (I'm a teenager and still on the beginning of my art journey 😄) The problem is that I just can't concentrate on one art style. I get excited by art easily and don't want to focus on one kind of abstract art. Any advice for me or do you think I will find my style by making a lot of art?

❤🎉👍👍

In a long time today have heard what makes sense to me ❤ thank you

Wish i could get your help with my husband's and even my expungment. Its so ridiculous my lawyer wont do it but it is a DANC so shouldn't even be there still anyways and with adhd and a 2yr old i cant figure it all out anymore. Brain no can handle anymore legal crap hahahaha

Josie do you find originals sell more or prints? And if you have an awesome collection should you keep it to make prints or sell the original? Ugh such questions and thoughts to ponder 🤔

Im curious with the success you've had how people got to know you and your work...did you attend lots of craft fairs...etc...even if you have an online presence its hard for people to become familiar with your work and grow that big of a following. I find it toughest for your name to get known and to sell consistently

I think we need to talk about collectors with stupid taste :)

Generic bullshit. Niche down limits your abilities to sell.
