I am grappling with the challenges of selling my collage artwork. From withdrawing from art shows to the reluctance of parting with my creations, I have fears and doubts that have held me back from fully embracing my dream of being a full-time artist.
In this video, I'll delve into the emotional complexities of being an artist, from the fear of failure to the struggle to let go of my art.
I invite you to accompany me on my quest to confront my fears and take on the goal of selling my collage artwork with an art challenge I am giving myself
Thanks for watching my video! - Lisa

I agree with how easily we become attached to our art + processes.

People saying they want to buy your art is different than selling it for the price you want. Many people do not value the time in original art.

VERY true!

@Jeanmcb47 Месяц назад

This was great! Thank you for your honesty and vulnerability. And that video was gorgeous. Love your work too! But not asking to buy it 🙂

Thank you! 😊

I really appreciate the compliment! 🤗

I have shown my art, but state it’s not for sale. I consider making giclee prints to sell, but have no incentive.

@colorfulcollage Месяц назад

That’s a good idea to show it, but not sell. Then you still get the feedback which I think is important for artists.

Your artwork is lovely and your dilemma relateable. I've liked the idea of doing limited runs of prints. Perhaps even special enhanced prints with extra embellishment or resin coating. The originals, I'll price at whatever price i would part with them for. Even if someone else might think it absurdity high..

All great ideas!

Your art is beautiful. I would love to own a piece. I find it hard to part with some of my paintings, but I donate some to charity. Good luck with your journey.

Thanks for the encouragement! 😊

@kimberlyann3 Месяц назад

Thanks for sharing. I feel the same about my art work. It is so special and personal, so difficult to part with. My bright idea is to hold a class on how to create the beautiful artwork. It’s like selling 6 pieces in one day if you have a class of 6 :) And you get to keep your own artwork to treasure. A win win situation, till you run out of space for your art lol I love your creative art pieces!

I think that’s a wonderful idea. I know in other areas like quilting, courses and conferences are HUGE and instructors earn a good income from them. But…yes…it doesn’t solve the storage issue 😆

Interesting. I'm more of a chronic throwing-outer myself.

@contentviewer815 Месяц назад

Luckily I'm not attached to my artworks, just the process. Plus I take pictures to reflect from time to time. I do however love collecting other artists' works and could never part from my collection.

@colorfulcollage Месяц назад

I think pictures are a really good idea. I could even make myself a photo album of my art over the years to have it all in one place. I think I could live with that…🤔

So hard to sell my work because I get so attached to it. Looking forward to seeing your process over the next few weeks. Always look forward to your videos. They are so creative and well done.

@colorfulcollage Месяц назад

Thank you so much! I’m also curious as to how this challenge progresses.

@Creativeassemblages Месяц назад

I also make art just because I love the process and have been doing art for most of my life. Never get tired of creating. Love your videos and always look forward to them.

@colorfulcollage Месяц назад

Love it!!

@user-ki1yc4vx2s Месяц назад

Have you read or completed The Artist Way?

@colorfulcollage Месяц назад

I’ve owned that book in the past, but never completed it. Maybe it’s time to revisit it.

@anitataraki5512 Месяц назад

I think I could have made it as a professional artist looking at my work as a 45 year old. Instead I chose to be a preschool teacher, and I was able to use all my artistic skills at once at times. Neat mediums your using.

@anitataraki5512 Месяц назад

If I took that route, of a professional artist, I don't think I would have done it using the internet like people today are doing but I think I still would have been a success. Your art is very tactile, I notice. And I don't think the best experience for you is online either, with that in mind. You know this is all fake anyway?
