Experienced painter here.
I have many many paintings, but my problem is that I have no idea how to market and sell them?
It seems the only paintings that sell are ones in galleries, but the only ones in galleries are the ones that sell. So how do I get in the loop?
I tried to let people buy paintings on their own terms, but only got asking prices of like $25, which is ridiculous for something I've spent months on.


Here's my website if anyone wants to see more, if they want:

I think it would be somewhat difficult to sell your paintings. They feel like images from days of windows 98.

You should look up exhibition opportunities at artdeadline.com, artshow.com, and theartguide.con.

If you get into exhibitions often you can build a cv and hopefully you will be able to get the attention of a gallery director who would like to exhibit your work. I see that you have painted a long time and exhibited at the art students league of ny. Then I don't know what else you should be doing. Nice paintings!

Sell at pop up shows, art festivals, set up your own private gallery in a shop front, get work up in local businesses, get involved with the local arts council, do murals posters etc to get your name and style out there, submit work to juries shows...

There are lots of opportunities to sell work, you just have to look for them and put yourself out there

You take stock photos and copy them with paint. how the hell does that take you "months"? They don't even look like they have any thought put into them. The colors and compositions are bland as fuck and don't make any sense. Sorry for sounding like an asshole, but honestly my only answer to your questions is to make something that doesn't suck ass.

You legit need loomis and study color. Your anatomy is pretty much off in all your paintings and your colors are muddy. Wanna sell your paints, then draw qt anime girls :)

Dont listen to these amateurs anon, OP. As a trained advisor with a PhD in Horomones, I advise you to sell your art for $500 for the canvas, an extra $1000 dollars for your painting supplies, and $3000x(Time asserted into Project). That doesn't include taxes and shipping+handling (even if it is digital).

Phd = pretty huge dumbass. Never said his art was bad, just critiquing him. Id rather has someone tell whats bad in my work then say its great and continuing to make the same mistakes. If you wanna make big money, you gotta make better art.
