Want more respect in general for your artwork?

It starts at home. Treat your paintings …. like works of art…

Four Tips for getting respect for your artwork:

Don’t sell your work unframed off the floor in public. That means hang it up, frame it or use gallery wrap canvas. Don’t stack paintings in the floor against the wall. It gives a perception that the work is cheap and disposable.

When you hang in a sales venue, always, always, type or at least neatly print a nice, clean label and stick beside the work on the wall with the title, artist, medium, and price. Don’t just use a sharpie, write a price on your business card and cram it into the corner of the frame.

It always “matters”. Hanging some odds and ends at a local coffee shop. It still matters. Be as professional as you can afford to be.

Don’t sell your stuff too cheap. If you treat your art with respect, price it accordingly. Pricing cheap doesn’t bring more sales. It brings the perception that your work isn’t any “good”.
