    6 Things EVERY ARTIST Should Avoid Doing:
    1. Avoid having high expectations;
    2. Aviod the inconsistancy;
    3. Avoid relying on people too much;
    4. Avoid being a starving artist;
    5. Avoid stupid pricing; (Most difficult!)
    6. Avoid saying yes to anything.

    What I really like about this presentation is the format itself... while he's giving you the ins and outs of being a successful artist... he's carefully showcasing his own works as well. Very clever indeed! By the way, this artist's work is truly awesome!!!

    THANK YOU for taking the time to talk about this. I came across your tutorial, for the first time, a couple of days ago and I can't get enough. Your art is AMAZING. I'm a huge fan of abstract art but I'm not a professional artist. I'm just learning how to "paint". Your videos are so informative and easy to follow.

    It seems like a lot of this advice can also be applied to being an entrepreneur or a musician or other vocations where someone is self employed and responsible for bringing in their own income. This is great advice. It seems that creative type professions need to consider the business side as much as the creative side to make a living. We can do anything we put our minds to.

    Yes, let's beat that 'starving artist' out the door! A variation of that, which I've heard a few times actually, is someone looking at my work, chuckling and saying ' Right! Now all you have to do is die, and you'll be famous!' Seriously, wtf. So let's avoid death too, while we're at it, eh? Please pass the cheeseburgers, hmmph. :-D

I've been trying to do something with my life but it always came to nothing. I found your channel just yesterday and I immediately subscribed. I used to play piano and liked drawing.

      Being creative requires confidence and being spontaneous doesn't come easily. It takes serious guts to engage with our creative side. That in itself shouldn't be underestimated. When I'm feeling dry and out of the flow I simply make marks with no intention or objective in mind; just that, in the moment. I close my eyes or move to the sound of music, anything to get the flow going. Soon enough you'll find that something emerges. Also, I think it's important to treat it like a diary entry and disregard the thought of what others might think of it. Who cares, just enjoy yourself and see what happens. In the times we are living in this simple act can be revolutionary.

    • @avaangel433

    Hi Ed , I enjoy all your videos and very helpful advise , I approached galleries a few years back and received a stack of rejection letters , so I have found my voice in creating and opened my own outdoor gallery under natures canopy , now galleries are approaching me and trying to get my work in their galleries , my issue is the 50% commission they want , my pricing is consistant , posted on my website and in my gallery which is seasonal in my area , I am in Ontario Canada , so during the long winter months I have considered gallery representation to get my work in front of as many eyes as possible , however, I don't think it is right to double my prices just to be in a gallery to offset the high commissions , any thoughts ?

      Hi Daniel - thanks for your feedback. Yes, this is tricky because your clients as they are now will be used to your prices and the way you do things. A sudden and abrupt change in that can result in confusion or it may lead to no-one buying at all. I have had one experience like this actually. Not a negative impact but one where the prices became just too high so nothing happened. 50% of nothing is still nothing - no matter the ticket price. Not sure if that helps but it's all I got!

    Great tips. Bit of Individual contradiction in some points i.e. not liking prints but pulling out a calendar (technically a form of print) overall, we take the positive out of it and you’ve made a lovely, informative video! Thanks!!! :)

    • @SwarezArt
      @SwarezArt  5 лет назад

      Thank you! Technically, it's a print yes, but not one I offer for sale. In fact the calendar company that approached me does everything and each Christmas I grab myself a few to give away as thank yous to clients and the like. They are also offered as corporate gifts through the calendar company as part of their huge catalogue of titles the have. So actually, I have very little input with them. So my dislike of prints still stands but that's for reasons of decision making, quality control and time taken to get it right. It's just not the right time for me yet. Maybe one day - we'll see!

    I uploaded my art on Etsy and Saachi Art. I later discovered that the only people that viewed my art were those I sent there via a link... So I asked myself, why do I need those platforms, it's not like 2007 when only a few websites had e-commerce.

    I really LOVE your work and your approach; spot on "dont's". Your paintings make me think of what I see when I dream or meditate, a form of photo realism but from another dimension. Just BEAUTIFUL, would love to see your work in person! Yeah, I beat the starving artist out the door (LOVE that!) 16 years ago, did very well for myself as a historical reproduction potter, and folks willingly paid what I asked. People WANT to buy from you if they think you are happy and prosperous, and especially if you show a general sense of appreciation. At 58, I had to leave the pottery for health reasons and have gone back to my first love, photo realistic oil painting. I am now 60, and continue to do well, thanks to my wonderful patrons.

    @jeffstrong4311 5 лет назад +2

    So, do you have an online source for large canvases? I live in a small town on the south Oregon coast and the largest width I can find is 60 inches unprimed so I noticed you have so pretty large canvases and there is no harm in asking, right? So any suggestions would be appreciated.

    • @SwarezArt
      @SwarezArt  5 лет назад +1

      Hi Jeff. I buy large rolls of canvas and then everything gets stretched individually after it's painted. So no part of this is an off-the-shelf solution I'm afraid. Try looking of r canvas suppliers then look for stretcher bars and then you can make whatever canvas sizes you want! Hope that helps.

  • @FiroozehBowden
    @FiroozehBowden 3 года назад +1

    Love your work and how you market it. The canvas that you paint before stretching, don't seem to have any ripples. Is it because you don't use water-based paint (Acrylics)?

    • @SwarezArt
      @SwarezArt  3 года назад

      Yes, exactly! As I use an oil-based paint (enamels) I don't get that traditional reaction between water evaporation and it's effect on a cotton-based material. It's a familiar story though and all down to physics I'm afraid. A great observation and thank you for your generous feedback!

    @Swarez Art In a similar video related to the art galleries where you suggested to be avoided, I wanted to ask you what do you think about artist residency? Famous artists or not I never did one because I have enough ateliers to work, but as an experience just to create a changing location and so on I am curious. But I don't like the approach of asking not for a little money without any guarantee to win. It would be fair to partecipate, enroll for free and if they just like your way to express yourself, meaning if they like your art they give you money, space, time and exposure and so on. I mean it's me helping them with my art not them me. But this is another story! The money can come from the country itself promoting new forms of art from professional artists like us to younger generations. What do you think of any residency that is promoted this way? Have you done any in your lifetime?
    Thank you Swarez

      Hi Luca - I don't have any knowledge or opinions on artists' residencies -I'm afraid. I don't know anything about them so it would be unwise and foolish to pass judgement. Sorry about that.

      Unfortunately I am no expert when it comes to oil paints - never used them. I use enamel pints which, though oil based, is where the similarity ends. Sorry i can't be of more help.
