loved this Bella, i seriously struggle with this kind of stuff as an artist. Feel that if i do the education bit though that I'll attract fellow artists rather than collectors? I need to keep working on it all kx
You don't have to do as much education... you can definitely do more of the 'behind-the-scenes' because you're a creative as opposed to a service-based business or educator. Hooks like: 'What a morning looks like for a XYZ artist' OR 'Paint my next commission with me' OR 'This painting took me X days/months to make' (as you reveal it to cam) OR '4-hour painting session' (start with blank paper/easel and then show clips of the progress of the art being applied/created!. Hope that helps x
you can also do education that helps the buyer - so instead of 'this is how to draw xyz', you can be like 'how to frame your art print', 'how to combine art prints on your wall', 'how to pick or alter your frame mat to fit your art print', 'how to pick art that enhances your space', etc etc
