Always sit with your art work. Don't sit outside or wonder around. Making good eye contact. Body language is also important. I've noticed that people don't like tight lips and arms crossed in front. And your right! People like stories about the painting.

NEVER be on your phone, EVER. That is a rule, non negotiable with myself. When Im out I paint. the thing i say to potential customers, I say in a cheerful voice, " just give me a shout if you have any questions!", smile and then I get on with my painting. this creates interest in what im doing too. works very well. Sounds like we do the same thing. I have a soltek set up with boards that display my art, when im out on location painting. Ive been doing it for 3 years now. I have a whole system worked out. Typical, i wrote a long post, but of course, the internet decided to go down as soon as i tried to post it here...

This is glorious, I have been researching "craft fairs near me 2019" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Honsaac Qonandon Cure - (just google it )? It is an awesome exclusive product for getting Fairs And Festival listings minus the hard work. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my neighbour got great results with it.

I agree. If I’m at a craft or art fair and the seller is on the phone I get turned off. Don’t be on your phone if you want to sell. Also, what a great idea of painting while at the fair!!!

I'm still not satisfied with my work to sell it , still don't have enough time to push it to the next level but the tips are very useful, driving to venues, engaging with people, accepting credit cards. Now it seem to be easier after Your motivational talk. Thank you very much for sharing your experience.

People like to buy from me because I am a hippie and dress really nice. People seem comfortable approaching me. I also have dreads and wear them in pigtails.

Yes, engagement!! I tend to ask several questions to get them to open up and feel valued. Once we have a connection, I share my very unique process. To close, close the sale by asking what they are looking for and I even ask if they are shopping for originals. Don't assume they are a print buyer. You definitely have to feel people out! Also, branding is so important for artists. You want people saying "everything looks so professional!" If your branding and overall look is thrown together people will think your an amateur.

This is so heplful even for a customer to be received by the seller. I find it hard to have a piece in my home with the experience of tension of when I bought it. The artist of the artwork is always someone that will be remembered by the experience you had when you bought it. If it didn"t matter I would just buy online. Thanks

Couldn't agree more Alicia. Buying art is buying a unique piece as well as a unique experience with a unique relationship. It's so much more then the art itself. And it's always more, people don't buy a Porsche to go faster to their job you know.

It’s been a while since even at a fair. Thanks for the refresher. I have a ton of things to think about now.

Thank you! I hadn't even thought about how to wrap the art for the customer buying. Very helpful!

Very helpful. Doing my first art fair this weekend 🙏

Good info! Is it possible to create portrait paintings of tourists attending the fair? If someone sat down in your booth behind your table, and if you situated your easel so that passers by could watch you create the portrait on the spot, you'd get lots of people hanging around your booth. Plus, you can sell that on-the-spot portrait to the tourist/model.

Liked this video to use as a reference. Thank you for the information!

I paint bee related paintings. I am goiing to start thinking of a story on why I paint those painting like " Bees collect nectar from the flowers to produce into homey for our helth & welling."

It all makes perfect sense Thanks for sharing.

Hey, really useful thanks. Do you have any advice on how best to display when you only have a table to work with and you need some hight to stand out an make flat artwork shine? Thanks

Another great video Liron, thanks for sharing!

I know this is from a while ago, but do you have tips to share in transporting paintings to fair without damaging the art? I do acrylic and its thick and gets squished and destroyed!

Are you painting them on canvas or paper? I don’t have much experience with canvas, but I have seen them stacked and put on the back seat with no issues before (:

Put a piece of glassine paper in between and transport them vertically, less pressure on the surface.

Do you feel like selling small prints for $20 is a reasonable price?

@LironYan

2 жыл бұрын

Definitely! As long as you're happy with it. I'd feel comfortable selling prints for higher than that too, depending on the exact size (and perhaps even complexity of the original piece).
