Take the time to look up references and testimonials about the teacher. Remember that a fantastic painter can be a not so great teacher. A moderately good painter can turn out to be a fantastic teacher. You need to be sure that the teacher fits your style of learning and working. Some teachers are not organized and fly by the seat of their pants. That's fine if you are comfortable with a haphazard approach to learning. If you need to learn from someone who is very organized and thorough, then you will need to find the right teacher for a more organized workshop with good time management. It is all too easy to spend time with a teacher who is sweet and loving but, who doesn't get much accomplished. You discover that you have had a lot of fun but didn't learn much. There are a

Take time to wash them in between painting sessions. www.studioproducts.com sells a wonderful soap called Ugly Dog. It is excellent. If you don't want to buy a special soap, use a mild dish washing soap. I put the soap on the brush without any water first and work it through the hairs thoroughly. Then I add just a bit of water so it will suds up. I clean and work it throughout the bristles for awhile before rinsing. Then I do the process again. After they are rinsed out, I smooth the bristles, lay them out and let them dry good before storing them again. I use the same process for my oil brushes and acrylic brushes.

Charging extra for a painting that is exceptionally good is confusing for patrons if it is the same size as paintings you usually sell for less. Patrons will want to know why it is higher and doing that implies that not all of your work is of good quality. Instead, I would classify work as studies or as finished paintings to explain the difference in pricing. As a location painter, I do many quick studies in small sizes, and I do price them a bit lower than finished , more refined paintings. I make it clear that the finished paintings are worth more. I usually put the studies in my browse bin.

14x18 inchesacrylic on Birch Boardsilver frame1000.00 Purchase at: www.lindablondheim.com Painters Tip More On Pricing Some artists use formulas for pricing their work and that is really the easiest way. Charging by the square inch works well, but what you must do is lessen the square inch cost as you go up in size. If you keep all sizes the same price per SI you will have some mighty expensive large paintings which may not sell. For instance, If you charge 4.00 per SI you would have an 8x10 inch painting for $320.00That formula for a 30x40 painting would make it worth $4800.00 As an emerging artist you will not be able to command that price most likely. By staging the SI price from high for small works to lower for large works, You will be ok. There are lots of artists who will disagree with me on this but that is the way I do it. Here is what I recommend for someone starting out in selling. I would do a fair amount of looking at other artists who are at your same leve

24x36 inchesoil on panelgold frame1900.00Purchase at: www.lindablondheim.com Painters Tip Pricing your work This is a topic of endless debate among artists. Here is my take on it. There are several factors which should go into pricing. The first being brand name recognition. Never underestimate the importance of that. Brand name isn't about skill, it's about brand. You can be a highly skilled painter with no brand name and your work will not sell for the prices that Joe or Sally can command because they are well known. Their work may not even be close to a good as yours but they will command much higher prices. Another factor is location of your market. If you are living in an urban sophisticated market then the chances of higher prices goes up. If you live in a rural farm community you will have to market outside of that area or paint subjects which appeal to rural people. This is of course a generalization but true much of the time. Do you want to wholesale your work or

I have started doing the paperwork for taxes, as I try to get them out of the way immediately after the holidays. One of the things I do, is analyze what worked for me in terms of investment for marketing, advertising, equipment, and supplies, and what was a waste of money for me with little or no return. I am always dismayed to find that some of my brilliant ideas were a complete waste of money and time but hindsight is easy isn't it? I think it is important to study our expenses in order to become more efficient with our money. One of the things I will do this year is to not jump into events which have little promise for financial gain. In the past I felt like I should do every event that came along, every paint out, museum or gallery show, just because I was invited. It took me a long time to think first, what is in this for me?

A workshop or lessons from an artist you admire will jumpstart your creative process. Play with cropping. Take old paintings and cut them up to make interesting new paintings. They can be mounted on panel and completely renewed. Plan Ahead. Do sketches and thumbnails for new ideas before you jump into a new painting. Use a journal.

There are a lot of opinions on this. I think it is very important to put a label which includes your contact information. I use little printed labels that have my name address and web site. Some artists like to include their telephone number but I am not a fan of telephones and would much rather communicate through email. I have had the same web site URL for many years, so no matter where I may live or travel, the email is easy to find on my site. Some artists like to use elaborate labels with bios and archival information. That's fine too. I prefer to use a separate invoice for paintings I sell, which has an image of the painting, the product information for the support, paints, and varnish. archivalists will have the information should the painting need cleaning or repair at a futur

I have been shunned by a promoter for about four years for their paint outs in north central Florida. It is a situation of political intrigue, back biting, and the usual problems that many artists find themselves embroiled in on the local art scene. I'm sure this happens to most of us now and then. These particular paint outs are wildly popular and almost all of the paintings are guaranteed to sell, bringing in 50,000.00-80,000.00 each time. To make matters worse, all of my friends are invited from around Florida. The folks that I paint with at many professional events. I get to hear all of the stories and the bragging about huge sales, and worse, the sympathy from them all that I am rejected and banished from all of the fun.

Are your materials clean and organized when you meet students? Do you have the right supplies? Is your working space reasonably tidy and comfortable with good lighting and climate controlled? Are you on time and ready to paint when they arrive? Do you use your own work to instruct? I always paint with students so that they can see my process as well as theirs. I stop at various stages of the painting to explain my choices of composition, palette, and the decisions I make as I process through the painting. I prefer to paint right along with them rather than to make them sit through demos. I want them engaged in the process as much as I am. Do you use hand outs and written materials to enhance your lessons? Do you study your subjects and themes? I try to study much mo

I think it made a good point that we need to have a stage for our paintings to hang for a bit. We need to be able to look at them in their glory, properly framed and hung in a furnished room. It's not always possible to keep them long enough for that, with sales taking priority, but I sometimes keep paintings in the studio for months just because I like them and want to live with them awhile. Find a spot on your wall for the latest painting to hang and keep changing them out. Be sure to put a frame on them and enjoy them for a bit before they go to their new homes.

Here is what I do. I take the largest element and place it first, where I want it to be and then build in the composition around it. That is a fairly simplistic approach because there are all kinds of complicated issues involving scale, proportion and perspective, but it really does work fairly well. The other thing I do is constantly compare objects in the scene to each other. Is one wider, shorter, taller than the one next to it? What is the basic shape of the object? Thinking of major elements as flat shapes at first, will help you to figure out their proportions compare them to other objects. Lastly, use a long brush handle or a dowel rod to compare sizes of objects when you are painting from life out on location. It is so handy when viewing distant objects and comparing t

I love playing with colored pencil and pen together. They are perfect marriage for the cartooning I love to do. Other great combinations are watercolor and pastel. I love to put thin transparent oil glazes over acrylic but there have been several arguments back and forth about the archival problems of using oils over acrylics. I'm not going to take sides on that because I am no archivalist. Most of the time I keep the two as totally separate mediums. I also like acrylic with ink on top. Have some fun playing with mediums together. Mixed media is a terrific and fresh approach to technique too.

Can you find any geometric shapes which will help you to put things together in the object? The chances are that you will. Let's say that you want to draw a pitcher or a vase. It you look at how wide it is and compare it to how tall it is, you will either have a square or rectangular shape that you can use to start with. Then look for the negative spaces between the edges of the actual object and the rectangle or square you are using. The form starts to emerge out of the basic box shape you started with. You will also see these geometric shapes in the figure, animals, houses, trees and other objects. It is a great way to start.

Exposure- If you are interested in moving into a market where you are not known, some folks will see your work. Building Workshop Possibilities- If the exhibition is in an art center you may build some interest for teaching future workshops. Sometimes art center directors will take an interest in your work and ask you to teach at the center. Before you enter the competition, it would be smart to prime the pump by sending out your workshop brochures and resume to the director. Sales- This is a remote possibility.

My hubris knew no bounds until I realized that the painting I had submitted was two inches larger than their size restriction allowed. I was horrified.

There is little to be gained from donating work other than the ability to help others with your talent and skill. In the 20 years I have been donating, not one direct sale has been produced. I do it because I am a giver and for no other reason. I don't doubt that it makes people feel positive about me as an artist, but it does not produce clients or sales for me directly. I'm sure there are exceptions. Other artists may have ha better luck than I. I have a browse bin in my studio where I put older paintings and paintings of lower value.

If you enjoy cooking, the produce section of a supermarket or a cooking shop will send you into orbit with color and texture.

One of my dealers was kind enough to chastise me about the signature. People weren't purchasing my work because of the gaudy signature on it, not because they disliked my paintings. I decided to do some unscientific polling on preferences. I talked with artists who were pro, dealers, and a few museum people I knew, as well as art patrons. They all agreed that a signature on the actual painting was very important, with real paint, not markers or stamps. They did not like large signatures and preferred the last name only. Not lots of initials, multiple names or worse cute names like art by Suzie, or first names only. They also disliked a lot of scrolly writing with angles tilts and flourishes.

Check into getting studio insurance and public liability insurance. To me it is a necessary evil to write that check every year. I have clients and students in and out of my studio all the time. There is always the possibility of injury or theft. A fall or broken bone can cost thousands of dollars. Do not assume your homeowner's or renter's insurance will cover you because when you run a business as an artist, it won't. If you do not have an open studio where friends, clients, or students come, then you will not need the liability insurance, but you will need protection against theft. If you have people coming in and out, be sure that you take precautions around the studio with chemicals, flooring, st

I started out as a drawing major in art school and did many years of painstaking, photorealism drawings. I became bored with the process and progressed to fresh new drawing experiments, which were less fomulaic. I painted some large abstracts in art school which were quite bad of course. About 15 years ago, I did a period of very loose pastel paintings for a couple of years. They were primitive, primary colors, mostly palms, and I still run into people who wish I was still working that way. I then began playing around with oil landscapes, and became a plein air painter about 13 years ago. I did that exclusively for about three years. I was very much into the whole phenomenon of being a "plein Air snob". After a time, I felt the alla prima method of working lacked finesse and refinement. It

Pack only what you really need. Painting is hard work and moving from location to location is more difficult if you are not organized with equipment. If you do not have a file cart on wheels, get one from one of the Office supply stores. They are essentially a box on wheels with a collapsible handle. If you do not have a portable drying box, slotted for panels or canvas, get yourself some pizza boxes in various sizes. They work great.

This is typical for painters who attend workshops. I also send home a notebook full of information about paintings and exercises which will help them improve on their own time.

It is often because we are rushing to get to the detail part when we can make it pretty. There are some common mistakes that I see over and over again at my workshops. First, the student applies too much paint to the surface before he/she should, making it thick and unmanageable very early in the process. Another big problem is over blending, particularly for oil painters. Dabbing the paint rather than laying on clean strokes is another common problem. If you have a problem area in the painting,applying more paint will not help. You must carefully remove the paint from the area and start again. Take a rag, paper towel, palette knife or Q-tips and wipe it down to the bare surface of the canvas in the offending area. Then you have a second chance to repair the offending part. The paint must have a surface to hold to. More on fixing

I love to use acrylic for florals. The crisp clean color and edge work makes acrylic ideal for flowers. Of course I have done many florals with oils,,casein, and even watercolors from time to time over the years, but I love them with acrylic the best. For landscape work you just can't beat oils. Landscape requires soft and hard edge work, a lot of atmospherics and rich and subtle tones. Oils have such diversity and richness that they are ideally suited. For fine detail and realism, egg tempera and casein are king. I am not a watercolorist, but I have seen lovely floral work with that medium as well. My point here is not to single out one medium over another. I am suggesting
