Sell your art to local art galleries. Tell the gallery director what your art is worth. Be willing to come down on your asking price, because the director will base your price on the sale of similar work. Sign a consignment agreement with the gallery, if you are not satisfied with the offer. Keep in mind that art consignments may take awhile to sell, but your piece will get a lot of exposure.

Sell your art on online auction sites. Create an account on eBay. Post your artwork at a fixed rate or create an auction. Add a reserve price, if you are firm on a certain amount of money you want to make. Include details, such as what tools you used and the name of the art piece in the post description. State that you only sell to serious bidders. Create a PayPal account to secure payment transactions.
