Hi, I'm Daniel and I'm a painter. I also draw. How do I make money from my art? More importantly at this point, how do I make instant cash from my art?

Hi, danielc!

What sort of things are you particularly good at painting and drawing, please?

Also, are you currently in school somewhere?

Thanks!

Are you still there, danielc?

Hi again, danielc!

I responded to you on your other thread that you started. Are you going to respond on it, please?

Thanks!

I can draw or paint anything I see. I painting with oil color.

So, are you currently in school or not?

I'm not in school. I'm a self taught artist. I sent a photo but I don't know if you have seen it. I believe the photo is on the home site.

The image is on your other thread. I have seen it.

Is what you posted done in the style like that which can be found in the Renaissance or Romantic times of art?

Yes, it's a hand painted copy of an old master. I don't really have any specific personal interest in certain subjects; however, I do strive for realism.

I'm going to merge your two threads together so that there is less likely to be confusion here.

It will take me a few minutes...

Please hang onto something while I juggle the threads around!

Threads have been merged.

Do you have any example images to post here of what you've drawn, please?

Thanks!

Yes, I have a couple, but I'd have to dig them up. They're very good, since I started painting I don't draw as much. Drawing is easier than painting for me, although painting is getting easier too.

If you're looking to make some money faster, drawing would be a good way to do it. If you draw in pencil, there are much fewer artists who do that sort of thing these days.

Do you have a website?

Okay. I can see that you're no longer logged on here, danielc.

I really need to get to sleep so that I can get up to work in the morning.

If you let me know what time zone you're in, perhaps we can coordinate things so that we're on here at the same time.

I can help you with the marketing of the types of art that you do.

I'm in the Central Time Zone of the U.S.

Thanks!

I used to have a website, but it do much just gave me a fan club I guess. Thank you for the merge of threads and I'm sorry for the delayed responses. It want happen again. I don't have a zone, I'm willing to work around the clock to fulfill my goal. I understand if you're gone to bed and await your next response. I'm in the process of getting another website going in the near future.

Oh I'm sorry, I'm in the eastern time zone.

Daniel,
I have recently come across Art Gallery and Community - T-shirts, Fine Art Prints, Calendars, Cards and More - RedBubble and I have been finding a lot of good artists on that site.

Maybe you could do some research if the artists make much money on that site, as the site actually sells card prints, t-shirts and even calendars of featured artists on their website.


.

I'll dig up a drawing to show you in a little while. And check into the pay of the t-shirt... idea you suggested.

I'll be back on here about 12:00 A.M. tonight, Daniel.

If you're around here Daniel, I'll be on for awhile.

Thanks!

I just came home at 430 and I'm sleepy. I'm sorry, but I will show you a drawing and I'm sure you'll be impressed. Please bare with me sincerely y0urs, daniel

I did not get home until 4:30am

Hi, Daniel!

I'm doing some painting at the home of a couple of friends and am now on their computer. I have no Internet access right now at my home, because the phone has been disconnected.

Starving artist...

I'm looking forward to seeing what you can draw!

I probably won't be around this evening. But, I should be tomorrow, after I pay the phone bill!

I hope that you're having a great Memorial Day!

Later...

Thanks!

Do you get any painting,learning magazines. You can can submit to them , they do pay you for that. I also but in oils any more. But this is what I did to get income from my craft. Have a open house with all your stuff put out to be bought, Small stuff at first is easier to get rid of. Paint t-shirts and anything you can get your hands on, book covers, furniture, tenna-shoes, purses. Things like this, people will buy stuff, have your bigger stuff out too, so they can see it.Tell them if they need something special you are will to paint for them.Your name will get around, make business cards to hand out. It will take time but it will happen. Your work is too good for it not to happen. Good Luck. At first it's easier to get 25 dollars out of someone then 100 dollars, at least at first.My first show I make over 3,000 dollars. You go big boy!

I'm around now, danielc. I hope that you might be too!

I have not had a chance to download my drawing yet but I'll get to it. Thank for the info. Could you please elaborate more on the painting, learning magazines. The drawing that I'm going to show you was done I was 18.

Are you praticed at using a number of different types of mediums, danielc?

I only work with oil because I figured it would pay more and when I went to the met in nyc almost all the paintings I saw were in oil. I also use liquin

What's "liquin", please?

If you mean the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, it's a huge place!

There, they have all sorts art that is done in various mediums. It can take a number of days visiting there, just to know what all is there!

I have to get up at 7am and its 3:20 here. Liquin is fast drying oil painting medium

You can mix liquin with oil color to the desired thickness.

Then it would probably be best if we both got some sleep rather than starting something new right now.

Do you agree?

Yes, good night

I hope and pray for you, a good and restful sleep and that your day tomorrow, is really productive and profitable in a number of ways, Daniel! :)

I'll be on here again, starting at about 12:00 P.M. your time, tomorrow.

Good night!

I was talking about magazines you buy about oils or painting in general. Allot of them you can send in your pictures and sometimes they print them especially if you are using a new medium or new spin on the old new it was used. And you do get paid for this. Contact the company of the materials you use and sometimes they will endorse you, and send you free item to get you opinion. You can teach at seminars too. You submit to conferences also and they might send you information about conferences coming up. I like acrylics and they have conferences and chapters all over the place. You can look up HOOT that is a conference they have every year. Anyway have a OPEN HOUSE, invite all your friends over and they have to bring at least one person with them to see your work. Have all your work out big and little and in-between. They know people like restaurant owners who need art and so on , on, on. Every little bit helps. Go get'em!
