Do it your way.

The pitfalls for Artists entering the Art market is that they try and do it like it was done before and try and take the gallery road and that is frustrating as the Art market has changed so much.

If the local Gallery will not show you, set up your own gallery on social media and push it, you will get attention and you will get noticed and that is what you want.

If you wait around to be discovered, it will not happen, so make it happen, do videos and story tell your Art.

The other thing you have to do is produce work and lots of it, you have little time to rest, paint.

Also you have the freedom to market as you wish, you can again experiment and do things differently.

Make your own path and work hard.

Learn what you need to learn, read that book, do the YouTube seminar, listen to that podcast, it is all out there but you have to find it, learn it and do it.

Finally enter every Art show and Art competition that you can, exhibit anywhere and everywhere, join groups.

If you do this you will get attention, connect with people and build a following.

You do not have time to do it the old way, so do it your way.

When you meet a stranger who loves your work and wants to buy it, sell to them and build a relationship with them and turn them into a friend and lifelong collector.

Choose yourself and do it your way.
