Tips & Warnings
Be patient. Selling regularly takes time, and you need to sell a few to get repeat customers.
Always add a special touch in packaging. A handwritten note, a complimentary frame or a complimentary print will go a long way with customers just getting to know your art.
To save yourself legal trouble later on, know your rights. Buy a copy of "Legal Guide for the Visual Artist." Study it carefully, and use proper forms when selling or making commissioned art.
