Video Transcript

"In this segment well talk about finding a painter. It's not really that difficult to find a painter but it really is. Most people just look on the Internet and they find something that they like and they try to find something like that or they search a painter, and they say this is the type of painter that I want to paint my painting. But let's suppose you want a family portrait, you've got four kids in the family, what are you going to do? You got to find painter that's willing paint your four kids. And then once you found them you've got to find a right price. Most painters especially if they haven't gotten something already done that you can actually but, that you can point to and say I want that are a little bit more hesitant to do something that's custom made. It takes them time and for the most part you've already got a preconceived idea of what it is that you want. So perhaps even if they do a great job, it may not be to your liking. The best thing to do is to go to art shows. If for example you go to an art show and you see a painter that you like you might say I like this type of work but I'm actually interested in something that looks a little bit different. Then they might give you the opportunity to either buy that or do something else in there genre."
