When creating a new file in Photoshop, you want to use CMYK format rather than RBG when printing. The other thing to watch out for is when photographing your art, especially with your phone is lense distortion. This can be corrected in Photoshop. You can save it as a file on a zip drive and a printshop can use that zip file when making your prints.
Thanks! A good reminder about taking photos before varnishing... Also I really want to print my work on canvas. Your results look amazing! Thanks for sharing your tips and experience.😊💖🕊🌿
Great tips for those of us struggling trying to figure out how to turn our art into a real business. Another advantage for choosing a local printing company is that you're also helping support local small businesses and your community! thank you!

Thank you! It’s wonderful to get your perspective on this. I’ve been contemplating selling my art for a while and I’m just researching as to what is the best way to go about it. I look forward to hearing more on the topic. 🙏 😊
Yes, this video was/ is very helpful in getting started in this medium/ process, so self explanatory, I love it! So I take it, this also works with photography as well? I'm familiar with both!
so if you do prints from original art work, what you do with original paintings, do you sell them, and are buyers accept to purchase original painting if you already sold its prints
Thank you 😊, for this video. I guess the best place to start. Is the beginning. Lol. I'm an infant new to all this. My family and friends have been telling for years to do this. So I'm gathering my information. That's to me, step one. Looking forward to more of your videos. And please know, you've been very helpful. And I love your work. God Bless 🙏
Almost a year since you posted this but once again I come to one of your videos just as what I need is brought 🤗 always amazing how that works 💫✨ and Thank You so much 💖🤙🏽
As a printing company retired owner, we eventually refused to do any work with artists. No matter what we did the artist was never satisfied with the results. Color profiles important as they are complicated for the novice person. Therefore fussing with photo shop is useless. The CMYK mode is best. Regularly we got RGB files. Explaining how to send the file was akin to talking to a artsyfartzy brick which has no common sense. Time is money. We always lost money when an "art teest" was involved. Pronounce "third" not tuurd.
Yes. I wasnt considering that my art would provide income. I thought it would be my other gifts which i still think. However i want to create streams of income from all my passionate talents.
Thank you for the great advice! Your information was very helpful. I have a question for you. I want to print a poem that I wrote for my daughter on a piece of watercolor paper (140#) so that I can paint a watercolor painting over the printed poem. Do you know how I can do this? I am hoping I can paint it transparent enough to still read the poem well. Any suggestions?
@joet2577 paint the paper first then email the poem to local print shop and give them the paper you want it printed on. I would call ask them if you can print on whatever size paper it is first
Unfortunately there are no printing shops anywhere near me within hundreds of kms ,I've been trying hard to get good photos but so far none are good enough for printing
