Finished: "Wondrous Winter." A simple minimalist piece that fits into almost any setting. I've been testing the minimalist style a little more lately, and I must say, I'm not disappointed.

Painting Showcase: The War is Over

Quality Matters - Both in Product and Sevice

“Flourish.” This is one of those pieces that I liked enough to keep, but didn’t feel is good enough to sell. . Ultimately the background was pretty decent but I hate the way that the flourish came out. . It’ll hang around the house probably forever. . Oh well. Next time. . .

Should Artists Sell Prints of Original Paintings?

Friday, July 13, 2018

This is one of the first pieces I ever did when I started painting. I still have it but I used really cheap acrylics but I was still immensely proud of it when I had finished. . . . #abstract #art #abstractart #abstractartist #artist #abstractpainting #artgallery #instagood #creative #artsy #painting #instaabstract #house #home #contmporaryart #homedecor #artoftheday #paintingoftheday #homedesign #interiordesign #interiordesigner #modernart #fluidart #artforsale #arte #picture #pictureoftheday #modernpainting #pinworthy


To my artist friends who sell their artwork: Got a second? Hey everyone, Coty here. I've been thinking for a while that I've wanted to reach out to other artists, to maybe help them promote themselves, and here's why: Recently I've been feeling like I'm stuck on an artistic island... Marooned. Abandoned. Helpless. (Like Tom Hanks in Castaway...) WILSONNNN! Here's what I mean: I make all this art - and people say its great - but VERY FEW actually buy it. I mean - I'm making it - and I think it's good - and I'm trying my damnest (pardon my French) to sell it... But it just stacks up in my house. And in my garage. And kids' rooms. Months go by and I make nominal sales at best. Some months none at all. And it seems like there's an infinite ways to promote with ads and video and social media and stuff... ...But nothing really helps. Kinda depressing. Makes me wonder if I should stop altogether... But I refuse to back down. To admit defeat. Anyway. I digress. I was thinking the other day that I'm probably not alone in this feeling... That there are probably others that could use a hand promoting their art too. Like, what if - picture this - I could lend you a hand... ...FOR FREE... And maybe - JUST MAYBE - it would benefit us both? Wouldn't that be swell? It'd be the bees knees, I reckon. The cat's meow. So what's the plan, man? Welp, I've decided to start doing some artist interviews on my blog at https://ift.tt/2Ldi0Dn And if you'd like some free traffic (hopefully - I mean my site isn't exactly Amazon over here with visitors)... ...Then I'd love to invite you to answer a few questions for me, and I'll post your interview to my blog. You get free exposure, with pictures and a link back to your site. Cool beans? Cool beans. It's that easy. Capiche? Cool. If you're interested, message me, or comment "I'm in" in the comments below, and I'll send you the questions ASAP. Later! . #art #artistsoninstagram #arte #artist #drawing #sketch #painting #illustration #photoshop #handdrawn #talented #instadraw #artwork #dibujo #artoftheday #instaart #instaartist #masterpiece #artsy #worldofpencils #amazing #originalartwork #drawings #beautiful
