Hello World! Welcome Friends! A piece of art can be a priceless possession. Artists who would never sell some of their precious pieces of gems do exist. It is to be noted that art can take any shape and form and be sold for vast amounts of money. To most artists, however, these do not matter, only the display of their invaluable flair is what they truly crave.
The exact point of completion can be a difficult thing for artists. Viewers might feel the art they see is a masterpiece already while the artist might be a total mess and want to do multiple phases of rework. A piece of art is truly complete when the artist stops feeling the need to add more touches of grace.
Maybe you’ve just finished a masterpiece of your own and you want to know what to do next. Well, the first thing you probably need to do is clean up the place. If you’ve been painting, then you might need to learn how to remove acrylic paint from fabric. After you clean up there are a few things you can do to finalize your masterpiece.
Make It Your Own
As long as a piece of art is being created from the painter’s imagination, the chances of it being a duplicate to something else are virtually impossible. It takes a lot of time and a mountain of effort to create a drawing or painting that satisfies the artist. Hence, once completed, it is recommended for the artist to “make it his own” by considering the following things.
Add a Signature
Artists find a form of closure once the art is signed and ready to display or sell. Painters may choose to simply put a signature down on the painting, or simply write their names on it. This personalizes the art and officially ensures the artist of the completion of the work. This also helps the artwork to be tracked if and once it enters any competition.
Add a Watermark
Creative people tend to opt for creative solutions for their finished work. Watermarks are a great way to personalize drawings. Artists can engrave their custom logos and designs that are unique and descriptive of their brands. This is a highly innovative way to individualize artwork by artists who are unwilling to go for regular signatures.
Name Your Art
Most painters give names to their paintings. The fact that the greatest paintings in the history of the world are known to us by their names speaks volumes. Names are suggested to be relevant to the concept of the painting.
Take Photographs of Your Work
It is unimaginable to bump into a painting that does not have digital imprints of it in its owner’s mobile phone. Artists find it necessary to take snapshots of their work due to various reasons. These can be displayed on the go to almost anyone interested making it very convenient.
Moreover, photos ensure the art can exist forever whether or not the original is damaged or lost. Physical paintings, despite professional attempts to preserve them, face a possibility to deteriorate over time. Digital copies can last forever. Edits can be made and the original can still be kept intact. Artists can even take photos of the initial stages of creation, and then make edits and foresee how it might look afterward. The possibilities are endless.
Ensure Physical Quality and Durability
A massive number of paintings are created every day simply with the intention of selling. Even if this is not the case, these masterpieces are built to withstand the test of time. Artists need to ensure the canvas and the frame are crafted with durable material. The colors need to look vibrant for years, if not decades or centuries. Applying varnish is easily removable and gives the painting a layer of protection and a glossy look.
In the case of a sale, even the delivery of the painting can damage it externally. Extra care and effort are required to complete the delivery.
Update Your Website / Blog / Social Media
Once artists attain closure from the process, the general step that follows is to record their artwork on their preferred online platforms. Numerous websites are made with the sole purpose of displaying beautiful works of art from artists all around the world. Creators can form an established social media presence and blogs provide a superb platform as well.
Posts can mention the dimensions, type of material used, colors, and brands implemented. Renowned platforms are recommended for getting in touch with prospective buyers that are all over the internet.
Attend Competitions or Just Sell
Competitive artists generally tend to create for competitions but professional painters usually list their works up for sale. In either case, the procedure is long and you need quick actions to receive a favorable response. Many art competitions have a specific genre they focus on so consider this when choosing a competition to submit your painting.
In case a painter is opting for a sale, the possibilities are vast as well. Selling a piece of art is a procedure and requires strategic planning. Tastes vary greatly between customers. Some might be looking simply to decorate their homes while others are collectors. You should try to ensure that the artwork receives the most exposure possible. Photos, with various filters, can be provided along with the painting. The overall quality of the art itself will determine its potential in the marketplace.
The Message Conveyed
There is no legitimate reason for a potential buyer to waste time on a painting that does not convey any message. Art is generally abstract so most paintings require a painter’s description for the viewers to grasp the depth. Many timeless pieces of art are popular among viewers of all ages simply because of the message being delivered.
This message entirely depends on the choice of the artist. A simple description along with the painting is the clearest form of a memorandum that a painter might go for. However, inherent messages hidden within the brushstrokes are also very powerful and have been done by some of the greatest artists of all time. A drawing of, say, a smiling dog might mean something totally different in the mind of the artist. He might be attempting to represent something else with that smile. Expressing this meaning is crucial when striving for a sale.
Final Thoughts
Artists are adored all over the world, and for good reasons too. Their contributions are unique to themselves. Some levels of perfection in this field are so monumental, it is uncanny for pursuers to even attempt feats like those. Whether you’re a novice striving to get better, or an artist with artwork already on the market, we hope you’ve learned a few different things you can do after you’ve finished your masterpiece.
