Awesome Nick; I love all your videos but the business encouragement videos cause me to watch them over and over. PS: I make our Christmas papers too - so much fun to make and an abundance of collage paper after the gifts are unwrapped. Win/win

I’ve had the hardest time promoting my work over the years but am gradually getting more comfortable with it. Love your channel and Art2Life podcasts! Thank you! ❤🌟🎨

I get the sense that we need to be creative and have fun in how we offer art to buyers. Your open house idea while painting is great. And as someone who visits art events without a fun or easy way to interact, it feels awkward too.

That’s great advice thanks you! 😊

What a great idea! I hate the idea of selling and promoting, but just doing the work and showing it to others makes great sense. Thanks!

I've been thinking about this same thing recently. I really haven't enjoyed social media and have had trouble being consistent. Mostly I've just wanted to avoid it. Recently I've been thinking about how I can make it just another part of my creative journey. In that I feel my heart changing towards it. Thanks.

I think this is very helpful. it would be great to hear more about the business side of art as well as the art we produce. Thank you

There has to be an additional amount depending on what you think about the artistic talent embedded in the work - "artistic rent"

I love this idea. Thank you for all your information😊

Insight that I needed today. Thank You!!!

I appreciate this, thank you.

I have doubts about simply pricing ones art based on the area of the painting. Mona Lisa on this basis would not fetch too much, so there has to be more to pricing an art work. Your pricing chart data plots on a polynomial equation, price = 0.002*A^2+5.73*A+1631, where A is the area of the painting. On this basis the Mona Lisa (30×21inches) would fetch $5314. Question is the extra value comes from "Artistic rent". The value attributed to the art because of artistic appreciation and renown. How do you account for this?

The difference to me in making my art and promoting it is in painting there is no fear of rejection, promoting it there is fear of rejection. How do you merge that?

You are comparing apples to oranges... get real.. Just expect to reject, and be rejected until you find the right outlet / gallery / person etc to sell. Why even think about it as rejection, but as a business fit or partnering. We're talking money, not your feelings.

I'd like to offer another way of looking at it- because I am in this exact same boat. Just as we can't be best friends with everyone we meet, there will be people who "get" our work, and there will be people who just have no interest in it. It has to do with personal taste, and separate from how people think of you as a human being. As I write this to you I am trying to take it to heart. It can be scary, but I think it will be worth it. Someone out there is going to be so happy when they get to connect with your work. And if you don't put it out there, they'll miss that chance.
