This year in my art classes , I have a lot of students that are combined art I and art II.<br />
With this being said my art II students are given some assignments on independent study,<br />
<br />
I hate this but at least 5 minutes of class everyday I take time to talk to them about their assignment and art work.<br />
<br />
I have decided that to enforce the 5 step studio process , elements and principles my students will fill out a critique and analysis form on them self. This create a knowledge and cohesion of art and a strong base in their knowledge of art. I am including this on this page as a jpeg .<br />
<br />
Hopefully this will help you to analysis some of your art work and create an understanding in the producing and aesthetics of art.<br />

I love art . If you are like me it is my passion. I have taught art for 36 years and well it as much apart of me as my heritage. So, I have not posted or blogged for the past year, I have been at home retired trying to find my niche, But through staying at home and not working my passion of art I am back teaching at a public school.<br />
<br />
I love art and I feel that I was loosing myself. Slowly but surely I was disappearing into to an invisible nothing. So I am back and I want to share some of my lesson with you who love art.<br />
<br />
Whether you are a self taught artist or a hobby artist or a returning artist, or an art teacher.<br />
<br />
Come check me out and see if I can help you out in your hobby or passion.<br />
<br />
Check out my class room<br />

You will clean your flat brush very good and mix a wash of </div>
<div>
yellow. One dab of yellow paint and a lot of water.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Paint a few patches in the sky Do not let them be so watery </div>
<div>
that they bleed into the blue . That is why you wait for the </div>
<div>
blue to dry. If this happens , take a paper towel and dab it.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Then paint with your flat brush yellow above the horizon line.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Clean your brush again and mix a green wash . Paint the bottom</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
of the paper a green wash for the river bank.<br />

While letting your background dry wash your flat brush.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Now use your rigger the small pointed one and mix some</div>
<div>
dark brown with a reddish brown. </div>
<div>
You will paint this on the left side of your tree trunk and limb.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Lay down your rigger and take your small sponge to soak </div>
<div>
up some of your brown paint.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Then add some of your paynes black that you mixed before to </div>
<div>
create a few dark places with your rigger.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You will also go back and dab just a few small sections of </div>
<div>
your tree with your sponge.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Do not worry if your lines look gone. You can go back after</div>
<div>
it dries and use your rigger again to repaint a light brown</div>
<div>
line or leave it for effect.<br />
<br />

<div>

<div>
The next part you will mix up your black by adding</div>
<div>
raw umber ,blue and some green. Take your fan brush</div>
<div>
and dab the black on top of the vertical water line.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This needs to be a little water almost a wash. Then take your</div>
<div>
fan brush clean it and wipe dry. Place it on the black and pull</div>
<div>
the paint lightly, barely touching the paper with the tip of </div>
<div>
your fan brush. If you feel you need to go back and wet the</div>
<div>
fan brush to make the black lighter please do that ,and pull</div>
<div>
your brush over the black again.</div>

Now while the sky dries a little , take your clean fan brush and</div>
<div>
make a wash with the mixture of black. By barely touching <br />
the paper you can make some strokes of grass very light . <br />
<br />
At the base of the</div>

darker. Now you have grass . LOL,let it dry.</div>

With a dry sponge take your black mixture{ blue, </div>
<div>
raw umber, phlato green} This has to be a thicker mixture than <br />
a wash. Dab this on your tree limbs to </div>
<div>
make texture. Don't over do it ,be stingy.<br />

You can even go back and add dots on some of your limbs</div>
<div>
with your rigger. <br />
The secret is; don't over dab with your</div>

<div>
sponge and black.<br />
Notice I don't have very many sponge </div>

<div>
Let it dry for at least 20 minutes .<br />
Then mix up your red and orange and take your rigger brush and place small dots on your</div>
<div>
painting. Especially down the limb lines. Looks more authentic</div>

Last , to make this painting more cohesive with the top.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Take your rigger and some of your red mixture and paint</div>
<div>
a little red lines into you grass. Place your red at the base or </div>
<div>
or middle of the grass. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Finally , this may have been a long process, but now </div>
<div>
you understand and have the technique of a real watercolor</div>
<div>
artist. Let dry and hang. Oh let dry flat then hang. LOL</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This can even be done with home school middle</div>
<div>
or high school students. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;"> Actually ,</span><span style="font-size: large;">there are many more than these,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Watercolor , Acrylic, and oil are the three mediums </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">Most artist have mastered these </span><span style="font-size: large;">and have </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">gone on </span><span style="font-size: large;">to enhance their artistic abilities become</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">other </span><span style="font-size: large;">mediums.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">'</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> anywhere.</span><span style="font-size: large;">The most convenient place to find </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> some is Walmart. In the </span><span style="font-size: large;">craft paint department</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> at </span><span style="font-size: large;">Walmart you will see different </span><span style="font-size: large;">types of </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">watercolor </span><span style="font-size: large;">paper. Walmart will sale </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> watercolor </span><span style="font-size: large;">paper usually </span><span style="font-size: large;">in pads. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> They will sell 90lb paper, or 140lb </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">paper pads.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> Usually the 140lb paper will be </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> sufficient for </span><span style="font-size: large;">your first </span><span style="font-size: large;">painting. And the pads </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> will be 9 x12 or 12 x 18. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> This will </span><span style="font-size: large;">be sufficient as a beginner and you</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> can make </span><span style="font-size: large;">beautiful </span><span style="font-size: large;">paintings with great space</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> relations. </span><span style="font-size: large;">.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Watercolor paper is designated by weight of the paper.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Student grade is 90 lb and is rather thin.It Buckles </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> when wet </span><span style="font-size: large;">and will tear easily.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> A good grade is 140lb paper that will be sufficient </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> your first painting. It can be stretched on a board.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> It is thicker and absorbs more.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> 300lb paper I very thick , thicker than card stock.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> And it does not require stretching.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> As you go along or paint more you can decide </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> what grade you want.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Each paper weight has it usage, and it depends </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> how and what you want your painting to look </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> and feel like the weight you use.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Hot press watercolor paper will be smooth and </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> some times glossy a little bit.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Cold press paper will have texture and is usually</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> the most popular used. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> So If you are a beginner I suggest you use</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> `140lb cold press to get started. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> But I also suggest someday go to an art store</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Michaels, Hobby Lobby and just feel the texture</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> and weight to make your overall decision on</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> your choice of paper.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">For the past few years it has been very hard to blog and produce my art paintings.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> My husband has been very sick the last two years and in the year of 2015 he was in ICU for over six months .</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">He is the love of my life so my choice was to put my love of my art and art business on hold ,until he got well.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> He is still not in the best of health but I am trying to schedule my art around his health issues .</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I have left my regular job as a teacher and will care for him ,as well as produce my passion .</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Yes , art is my passion . I cannot live without it and it is what I call me .</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">My art is what makes me who I am . It creates the way I talk , walk , think, see things and it is everything to me .</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">My life , my passion , my being.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It will take time to get back to my level of creativity and work. But I am willing to go the course. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Getting back into the groove of painting and creating will take time and work.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So ,if you are like me either returning are beginning an art journey come share my journey.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> As an artist , and I mean a working artist and </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">successful artist,sometimes it's necessary to paint toward popular </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">trends.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Artist can make a lot of money by painting and selling home décor trends and decorating art trends.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> This does not mean that you are selling out of your artist inner self. It just means you want to eat and pay some bills.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> You are an artist and artist create art . So create some art and make some money.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> The two hottest art trends today in paintings are: The tree of life art works and the Abstract non objectionable paintings.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> My favorite thing to do, is to take the hottest trend and brand these into my painting style.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJpLgj5e9wUM-UfIy16P245Unhxu-SyXI9IXA6AWOIZh_e3r3MWblD8_kkLPsfyxKHd5mdmU1igUn0ncWkZN7NNQcthUDupnP4nqnL_wn9PvGo1KiQdwsRMmK5RuZ-3uRq6AVn2BOrfUA/s1600/tree+of+life%25283%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJpLgj5e9wUM-UfIy16P245Unhxu-SyXI9IXA6AWOIZh_e3r3MWblD8_kkLPsfyxKHd5mdmU1igUn0ncWkZN7NNQcthUDupnP4nqnL_wn9PvGo1KiQdwsRMmK5RuZ-3uRq6AVn2BOrfUA/s320/tree+of+life%25283%2529.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Starting with the tree of life art works. Now these paintings</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> are not a original art concept just recently created. This theme of </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">the tree of life with the swirls and colored circles originally came from the Artist Gustav Klimt. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Look him up he was a early 20th century painter. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So now your guilt is over. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">You no longer have to worry about stealing someone else's idea or style.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Gustav Klimt is the artist that painted THE KISS and he also painted the Tree of Life.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So take some of your style and put it with his concept.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Offer these to your emailing customers or market them locally on your swap shops or craigslist.</span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">You might even get request for these paintings in certain home</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> décor color schemes. Or you can advertise that you can paint </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">these in color schemes your customer request.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">And the last place is your online presence. Whether, that consists of your website , facebook, or Etsy store.</span><br />

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Living the art life not only involves painting and marketing your art work.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> It also involves creating in everything you do.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> I know when you love art , we find it popping up in every part of our lives that we touch.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> So as a true artist and I know you are the same ,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> I just had to do the creative thing in my garden/yard. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So this is one of my hobbies besides painting and my true artist colors ,LOL, came out in this yard art creation.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I decided to share it with ya'll , sorry for sharing my heritage as a true southerner, and I am going to let you know what it cost me and how I did it for free.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So here goes, I had some old tires laying around our farm and instead of getting rid of them</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> I decided to recycle them in the form of my yard art. LOL!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Finding your tires are the first step to creating this Bird feeder, old tire flower bed!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It takes four 15 inch tires. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If you do not have these at home call your local county recycle resource or the county dump and ask if they have any tires in their resource facilities.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I don't know if they will donate them to you or you can buy them ,but its worth a try. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Especially if you tell them you are recycling for a garden yard art projects.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So this is the free step.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Next, after you obtain your tires you will need a big drill bit. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Take your drill with bit and drill holes on the top side of the tires. All around the circumference or circle of the tire.</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Gather your paint, four quarts of desired colors at Walmart.</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">These costs me about 8.00 to 10.00 dollars a piece.</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I used a coral red, a yellow orange, and a green mint color to paint my tires.</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">You will also need:</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> 8 </span><span style="font-size: large;">bags of 2.00 dollar top soil.</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Two bags for each tire.</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And 8 of the 8 container impatient flowers.</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Two containers for each tire.</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">These cost about 1.84 and total of 16.00 dollars with tax.</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Get a landscape timber, or two by four.</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">These usally cost about 2.00 to 3.00 each . you will only need one.</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Make sure it is treated for the outdoors.</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A sack of bird seed about 3.00.</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I began by drilling the holes in the tires.</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I then ,cleaned them with dish washing detergent and a scrub brush.</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This is easy if you place the tires on a wood palette.</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> The wood palette helps you to let them dry and then paint them.</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">After they dried I painted each one their different colors three coats.</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> I let them dry and I just painted them on one side all the way down to the ground.</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I left the bottom unpainted where they would sit on the ground.</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I placed three on the ground where I wanted them .</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Then I stacked one tire on top of the other in the middle. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">Look at pick.</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The tire that is not stacked and lays flat on the bottom of the ground doess not have a bottom.</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> The tire on top of the other has a bottom. </span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I placed a 5 gallon bucket lid in the bottom to keep the dirt in the tire.</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">You could use an old piece of wood inside the tire or other.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Next, I poured the bags of top soil and planted the flowers inside the tires.</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">After I planted the flowers I dug a whole behind the middle of the tires and packed my two by four or landscape timber in the ground.</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This Bird feeder I found at a yard sell for 3.00.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">YOU can use all kinds of items to nail to your two by four: A water pitcher, A large painted tin can, an old wooden box.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Be creative and just paint what ever you find the color you desire of the four colors.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So, That's it on the Yard -Art project</span> .<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This was very economical and only took one day to make, after I got my supplies.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Now sometimes I can sit in the yard during our Bar-B -Ques and Enjoy mu creation . </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Until it needs to be painted again in another 30 years. LOL.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> You know , we get into this nit pick about ,what brand and type of Acrylic paints should we use on our paintings.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> And some artist suggest a real expensive brand while other artist will paint with very inexpensive brands.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> We'll not all of us are sure what to use. But this is what I know and this is how I figure the brand I will paint with my paintings. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> The facts are these:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> 1. Some acrylic paints will dry fast and some will dry slower.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Many Acrylic brands come in what they call, soft body, medium body and heavy body. This is some of the reasons why the acrylic paints will dry faster than others.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This means</span> <span style="font-size: large;">if the paint is soft bodied it is more likely to be</span> <span style="font-size: large;"> thin paint ,translucent or near translucent. It is basically used to glaze or create a shadow effect over your paintings ,where you need shading. It will not be thick enough to cover another color . And it will not leave a texture that you might want to create with a brush or a painting knife. This type paint will have a pretty light fast drying time. Some artist like that and some don't.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The acrylic paint that is ,medium body paint is a little bit thicker . It can be used to mix with other colors and it dries fast but not lightfast. It can be used in different techniques but will not have very much texture and not recommended for knife painting. And it will be able to be mixed with another color to create a different .</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The heavy body acrylic paints are very thick. They are usually used to paint knife paintings and used in specific painting .most artist that want to create a texture to their painting will use the heavy body paints. Some artist that do not paint with paint knives or do not want a texture , will use this type of paint for coverage. I mean they will use this thick paint to cover over existing paint in the picture because that is their style .However, if they are not trying to cover another color they will use an acrylic liquid mix called a medium with this paint to thin it and make it more flowing. Some of these heavy acrylic paints will set up fast, but still take a long time to permanently dry. So the style of painting that you do ,will depend on whether you will like using the heavy body paints.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">A lot of artist will use heavy bodies acrylics , thinking they will thin them with water or an acrylic medium and last longer . Economically this is a good idea, but they some times do not use them up and sitting for a long time will dry them out.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">2 Another thing we know about acrylic is that sometimes the colors will yellow over time.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Acrylic brands of paint will tell you they have a longer lasting use and will not yellow.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">These are the paints to buy. The brand that grantees the non yellowing paint are sympathetic to professional artist needs.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Artist don't want their names tarnished with customers complaining about yellowed paintings after a couple months.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">3. Acrylic paint is sometimes inter- mixable or sometimes not.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Whether its the intense color or whether it is to translucent . Always look at the description of the brand to see if it is capable of mixing or not, with other colors. And sometimes once again this will depend on if it is a soft body, medium body, or heavy body.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">What is most important is to choose the type of body of paint that is perfect for your style, technique and for your needs to create your paintings.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Do you need a soft body paint?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Do you need a medium body paint?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Do you need a hard body paint?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Remember soft body is for glazes or painting acrylic like a watercolor.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Medium is for a traditional artist that wants to cover other colors on their canvas ,but have no texture or very little texture on the canvas</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Heavy body paint is for artist who like texture in their art work and or create with paint knives.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Always consider your intensity and hue of the brands paint. If you love rich and bright intensity in your paintings , go for the brand that grantees this and grantees no yellowing after time.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">If you are the artist that likes the painting to mellow out after painted then you will not use the high intensity brand. Go with the flow.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I have my own personal that meets most of these requirements.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I will not disclose this brand because I would like to get your feedback on your favorite brand and why.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Go ahead tell us. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">--------------------------------------------------------------------------------</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">These categories will help you understand what your selling and also build your clientele.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong> DESCRIPTIONS</strong></span><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;"></span></strong><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Descriptions of what you sell, what style , medium, and size will</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> tell you art work your customers are wanting. This will also </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">almost </span><span style="font-size: large;">determine your target market group. Once you get an</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> overall </span><span style="font-size: large;">record of at least six months, you will be able to identify</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> who you </span><span style="font-size: large;">are selling to and what they like to buy.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">If you are starting out or starting back to marketing, and business is slow, research the first six months and then go onto a 12 month record.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> <strong> </strong></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong>PRICE</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The Price you sell your art ,will tell you what your market is willing to pay for your art. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Okay , I know that we all want to make a lot of money on our paintings , NO longer are there artist that paint a picture and wake up to sell it for a million dollars.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> It takes time and a lot of ,one on one mingling ,through galleries and High class consumers , before you become a millionaire artist. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> You can make a descent income and a good income if you offer the public good prices for your art.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> There are so many artist out there selling these days. So the competition is high.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> And the ones that are successful are the ones that are the smart marketers tracking their sales<strong>.</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong> Buyer Info</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Not only will this give you an opportunity to have repeat buyers. It</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> gives you the chance to make newsletter, email lists, and discount</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> sales event flyers.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Your buyer info will tell you what your target group likes to buy . </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">And </span><span style="font-size: large;">you can come up with all kinds of marketing strategies of what to </span><span style="font-size: large;">paint and that sales.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Even ,when to paint and sell, where to paint and sell, and </span><span style="font-size: large;">why.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> You can even ask for a survey form your customers and offer </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">a free painting for their info.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Later I will discuss in another blog post surveys and what to ask to </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">get all the marketing ideas you need.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> <strong> SEASON , DATE, REASON</strong></span><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;"></span></strong><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Tracking the date and season of your sale , will help to build inventory for your seasonal sale such as Christmas , fathers day, Mothers day,etc.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Even tracking the date will tell you when to have your specific art</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> ready. When will they start buying. When do you need to send </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">flyers to your customers about placing orders. Or when to launch</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> your Newsletters </span><span style="font-size: large;">informing your customers of </span><span style="font-size: large;">what you are </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> offering for the </span><span style="font-size: large;">holidays: Halloween, Christmas, </span><span style="font-size: large;">Easter, </span><span style="font-size: large;">Fathers day, Mothers Day.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> etc.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Why I use the reason category is to let me know , if there is any other kind of marketing opportunities I need to address.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Such as ,the end of July and First of August I sell a lot of College </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Mascot paintings to college students for dorm rooms. And I sell to</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> a lot of students going to </span><span style="font-size: large;">school for the first time or back to </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">school. So I will list these sales as back to school mascot under </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> the reason. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Another reason category are weddings: Many people want wedding</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> portraits, or just wedding tree paintings of their initials. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This lets me know of the possible popular month I might have </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">opportunities to sell wedding painting items.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong>Technique / Style</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I list the items as Cow paintings, Truck paintings, Tree painting, Birds Paintings,</span><span style="font-size: large;">Sunset paintings, Red barn paintings , Chicken paintings.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> A lot of times this helps me realize that some things I sell all year and I need to always have some painted on my website.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Then , Style is important too. If you have any special style you are</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> painting , such as , abstract impressionism, sling painting, sponge </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">background , etc.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> ------------------------------------</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So , these are my strategies on being a smarter and better marketer </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">of </span><span style="font-size: large;">your art . Hope it helps and I am sure you will be able to </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">develop a </span><span style="font-size: large;">perfect business plan to make lots of art mula! Good </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">luck !! LOL</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-size: x-large;"><strong>It is always important to place a backing on the back of your painting.</strong></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: x-large;"><strong>You can use rubber cement to glue the brown paper on the back or construction paper . Depending on the size of the paper.</strong></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> If you're like me ,and you read everything there is to read about branding your art, why does it make you feel like your stuck in a rut.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Well , I Think, changing your brand or style is so broad!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Is branding the technique you use while you paint: the colors, the bush strokes, What?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Or is branding, Painting a certain subject matter of your art work.? HMNNNNNN! So what is it.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Many artist are now painting what is popular and painting many things with the same style. Some are painting the popular painting, but with their own style or brand. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So, are you selling out when you paint the popular paintings in the same colors , techniques or brush strokes.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> My daughter says she can look at a painting and be able to know if it is painted by me through obvious colors ,brushstrokes and style.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I was amazed with that statement ,because in art school we had to recognize famous art works by Van Gogh, Renoir, Monet in the same way.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So , I am thinking that , the way you use color, the way you use your brush strokes, and the way you have your technique is your brand.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I have always painted my way and even when I watch an artist painting and teaching his technique , I find my self using his or her advice, but I can still can see it is my work.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This creates a lot of HMMMMMM!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So, what I have decided is : if I want to sell art work, sell the popular paintings with a lot of competition at lower prices. Or , paint popular images ,in my own style , make them less available,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">and sell them for higher prices.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This will be a lot of work in advertising and postings but you will have your clientele that will help. Your clientele will critique your decision by their satisfaction as a customer.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">What does it hurt to try?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">What do you think ? Make a comment? Love to hear from you?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">That is my blog for the day .LOL</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">So , I decided to be cheap and go find some old 16 X 20 wood picture frames and see if I could develop my idea.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I got some of my milk carton poster board out from my roll at the paper mill paper mill donated to my school. You can even get some poster board from Wal-Mart or card stock of 22 x 24 at staples or Hobby Lobby.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I measured my sides and noticed each one was 16 x 20 inches.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I measured to rectangle pieces of 22 X 3 inches on the card stock or poster and I drew them on the card stock and then cut out. This I did 6 times because I had three frames.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">After I cut out the 22 x 3 inch rectangles I took one side of the 22 inch length and made a swirl pattern. I used this pattern on all my 22 inch rectangles on one side. I cut these designs out of the card stock and started on the smaller sides.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Next I took my poster board or card stock and made 3 rectangles</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">18 by 3 and 3 more 18 x 2. I then made.different curved patterns on one side to create an elaborate frame style. The thinner 2 inch rectangles will go on the bottom and the three inches will go on the top of the frame.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">With each 18 x 3 inch rectangle I drew an elaborate curved point on the top to create a specific design for the top of my frame.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Notice the point at the bottom the picture is upside down and would be placed at the top.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Also notice that each side I rounded off or cut with a curve to round off the frames</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The easiest way to do this is to draw one rectangle with the curves on the one side and copy it on the other rectangles so they will be symmetrical. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Then you start gluing the card board or card stock on the wood frames with the glue gun.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Each end of the card stock is cut with a curve. Then when you finish you will trim up the ends to match.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Remember always place the two inch rectangle on the bottom of your frame. This creates an optical image to draw the eyes to the center of the frame.</span></div>

Sales or no sales!<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu5kZNV82BvPModZMnlI8-9iGw-7hcjC2Ra6QfLFBhvp2rbTtI3H98F-hx_izPRLkzXiY51MR_y6qFYubn9kWbrZxcHoCfjIVEWIosmCli7z6gJKp57xv8f-QrTxAqFn2TbeFG8PAeFso/s1600/santa+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu5kZNV82BvPModZMnlI8-9iGw-7hcjC2Ra6QfLFBhvp2rbTtI3H98F-hx_izPRLkzXiY51MR_y6qFYubn9kWbrZxcHoCfjIVEWIosmCli7z6gJKp57xv8f-QrTxAqFn2TbeFG8PAeFso/s400/santa+2.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Well , it's Christmas time for artist .</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">And as an artist you are either very busy creating on the spot artworks for people, and don't have time for all the merriment , or you have managed to create all year and have a beefy inventory of art work on demand.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">No, well a good way to enjoy the holiday schedule is to for see the sells of the holidays and increase your inventory for projected sales.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">And , how do you do this with out being a fortune teller.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">What I do is monitor my sales items from last Christmas and then again at the beginning of September for this year. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">If you have a hot seller in September of this year you can possible expect people, that did not have time to buy your item ,most genuinely going to buy your item.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQbRMKKxoUSJK9Pk1g_qGjxJpyasHiHpdSeSp8BJd-oCmG95-J3Uan0DUaqDadm5TJoGCHtCxYKuHfP030nzzMm8cfnc2Le9cqYe5uJCcPEEtzOEJcSxo6fuu-0uuXCULvFLe5xk3DyJY/s1600/FullSizeRender+%25284%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQbRMKKxoUSJK9Pk1g_qGjxJpyasHiHpdSeSp8BJd-oCmG95-J3Uan0DUaqDadm5TJoGCHtCxYKuHfP030nzzMm8cfnc2Le9cqYe5uJCcPEEtzOEJcSxo6fuu-0uuXCULvFLe5xk3DyJY/s320/FullSizeRender+%25284%2529.jpg" width="248" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Let's take a specific item as an example, lets say you sell a lot of themed paintings. Like horse painting, truck paintings, sports logo paintings, mascot paintings, girls rooms painting, boys room paintings. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">These are your highest marketing items for craft fair season beginnings in September or online.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">They should also be able to produce sales in Christmas and you will need to paint or increase your painting inventory in what ever area your sales are high.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">What ever kind of money you made during your sales in September , </span><span style="font-size: large;">you need to re paint that item and a few more. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Choose your numbers wisely and be sure to estimate accordingly to the amount of customers you already have or your marketing techniques . </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Think about the number of people you are going to sell to if you market at a craft or online.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> And once again that is why you need to have an email list of all your clients if you can get one or make one. I have talked about that in on of my past post.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Also look at your past Christmas and see what item you sold the most for that year.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Did you sell more Santa painting, poinsettia painting, or snow landscape ?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Which ever one of these is the best seller , keep the concept but change up the image. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Contact buyers that purchased from you last year and send them an image of your new design</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">they will buy, because they like your style of painting. Or it might be a match to the item they bought last year . A good thing to do is to estimate about how many sells you might produce and then paint a couple more.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Well , hope these suggestions helps in your holiday sales projection. Good luck and have a great sale holiday.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This Last year has really been tuff on my art business , marketing and life. My husband has been a very sick man with</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Pulmonary edema due to hypertension and bad heart valve.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">For the last six 8 months we have been in and out of the hospital. And at one time we stayed in Ice for 4 months. But we are lucky </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">because he seems to be making some progress.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">But during this time I have been limited to posting and step by step tutorials have been real hard to produce.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Today , I am going to suggest something to help with this during the idle time of your marketing and selling efforts.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"> PRINTS! PRINTS! PRINTS!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Having a set of prints is a wonderful way to keep your business active and receive revenues. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Buying Prints and having them made from an expensive printer is </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">killing a budget.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So, this is the way that I create my prints to sell.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I have bought my own laser printer and I have chosen at least five to six watercolors to print through my own printing.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I use an Epson xp-520 color printer . It has Wi-Fi and wireless</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">where you can print from your smartphone , Pc, or tablet.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Then I buy white card stock from staples or Wal-Mart.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">These prints will be either 11 x 14 or 8 X 10. You can buy the specific size card stock at Staples.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Sax, arts and crafts sell pre cut mats with backing. They sale them in sizes of 6 x6 inches ,12 x 16 inches, 17x 22 inches and 22 x 28 inches. these all fit standard frames of 4 x4inches, 9 x12 inches, 12 x 18 inches, and 18 x 23 inches, they are mostly white and very affordable. Sax also has other kinds of pre cut mats you can choose </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">from pebble to non textured, and Ivory to Black.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Always put your art work in a frame to make it look more professional and clean. People will love this and appreciate the importance of your print.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">You can also buy clear plastic covers for your prints through a packing company. The plastic sleeves of about 14 X 20 are excellent for placing your print inside and keeping it free of stains.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> When listing your print , always make a point of listing it as a print in your description. This helps to let the buyer know that it is not an actual painting but a copy of an original. You can list it as an image of an original painting in your title , however you specifically need to describe it in your description as a print .</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Many artist list their prints with a number code</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> at the bottom of the print. An example is 22/24/2015. This means that this particular print is the 22nd print of total 24 prints of this image and the original was painted in 2015.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">When selling your art print , list your photo of your print in the matt frame. This will also help with your sells. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Many people will buy your prints because of the matting and framing scenario. Lots of people decorate their home with matted art work and seem to prefer this representative style.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Hope I have helped with your marketing creations and given you some insight to selling your art .</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Wishing you have much success with this marketing idea and good luck. Keep on Arting.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">As a parent , you know that children are always going to need structure and a disciplined life.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">And as an artist , we are not known as very structured or have a disciplined life style.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">But being the creative people we are and wanting to be a great parent, sometimes everything has to be tweaked just a little bit in order to raise productive children into productive adults.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">When I think about this , I just go aghhhhhhh! I am still a parent and I am also a grandmother. Raising two girls was hard enough with my creative life style. But I made two specific rules at my home. Do your assignments and get your education. Because once you have an education ,it can never be taken away.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I can remember my husband and I working sometimes into the late hours of the night to finish orders for customers. We were often tired ,but we finished them . I can remember my children popping in and asking questions , and sometimes helping but, they always had her assignments done and ready for the next, day.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Recently my youngest daughter , her children and husband have moved back in with me, because of my husband's illness, the cycle has come full circle. So being a little bit wiser and calmer , we have set up some new rules and guidelines to make her children and my grand children more productive and responsible people.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I am going to list the rules that we use with my grandchildren, but before we ever set any rules we sat down with them and told them one important thing.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">There are no excuses: the first thing we discussed with the children is the fact that nothing is impossible for them to accomplish. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">They can make good grades by studying, asking for help on things they don't understand, and finishing their assignment . But the most important thing is being diligent on all things.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">That means being determined, whether difficult or easy, follow through with the task.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">No one was born to be an Einstein, we all are brought into this world knowing few things . And these few things are how to nurse , make noise , and excrete. we don't asked you to be all A's students, but we ask you to set your goals to do the grades that are expected of them.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So here are the rules:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1.Homework and studying: These are done everyday at our house after they get home. At the same place, every time. Usually at the kitchen table so every child knows it is what expected of them.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">All parents should be involved with their students studying or homework. That is another good reason to have the children sit at the kitchen table . While you are cooking dinner an adult can help and make sure they are at task. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Every child should also have a parent who has knowledge of a each child's schedule :classroom assignments and or assessments. For instance, which test are on what day and what assignment is due on what day.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Most schools have a website to go check these assignments out and schedules. Teachers will list lessons plans and schedules on their school websites for parents.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Make a schedule for routine dates of assignment, turn ins and tests. This schedule should be done for each child.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2. Don't tell them they are genius'. Stop telling your children they are wonderfully smart and bartering with them to make perfect scores. Good grades should be considered natural and expected by all.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> When you give children a fantastic reward every time they make an A on a test ,they will expect rewards all the time. Then when the rewardsw stop they will stop.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">When you tell your child they are smarter than the average child this sets them up for failure.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">They think everything is going to be easy and when its not they cannot take the let down of losing praise or the spot light. So they become defiant and give up.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Children should be told that getting good grades is hard work but builds great character and not everything is life is a win , win.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This way they can cope when times get tuff and they will not complete a task because they are not number ONE.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">When my children have good grades I always tell them I am proud for their effort and not giving up. They are successful because they stayed the course. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">3. Always encourage through love and understanding, but always tell them when they have done something wrong and give consequences.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">If a child has an excuse for everything he or she does wrong , behavior escalates and sometimes character of children get out of control.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It may devastate you to punish your child but later it will devastate you if he commits a crime or becomes a needy adult.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">4. Children also need a chore. whether its helping with the laundry, feeding the pets, washing the dishes. They need a daily or weekly responsibility. And they need this consistently. This gets them in the habit of being productive and responsible. And it becomes habit , so it is instilled in them to continuously be responsible.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Being an artist , is sometimes hard to be consistent, but being an successful artist is also being a: consistent, responsible and productive artist. You have acquired this gift being a successful artist . And you, as an artist, </span><span style="font-size: large;"> have developed yourself into a successful artist in certain consistent and determined scenarios, even if we don't know it. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So pass it on ,your strategies to your children and it will give them the opportunity to be successful and to become a productive adult.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> This is the most wonderful gift or legacy you can give to your child.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So hope this will insight you to continue to be creative and the answer to having a creative life style and still be a wonderful parent.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Good luck! And keep being creative.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">You could have a bunch of sales right now !</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> First, you have to realize the season. It is the hol</span><span style="font-size: large;">iday time and people will be buying for decoration or gifts. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So now is the perfect time.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">First , using your face book post a painting.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">If it is a traditional landscape list the painting as a sale and sale it at a 25% discount. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">What ever you thought it was worth reduce your price.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">People love getting a bargain . So paint one of your most popular paintings that you have done in the past. It doesn't hurt to repaint it and put it up for sale.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Two, You can paint a seasonal item.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Santa Claus, Snow man, winter scene, horse with a wreath, any thing that is popular this year for Christmas.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">List it at a very reasonable price and describe that you are taking orders. Orders between now and some time before December.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Emphasis that you can only take so many orders because of the time frame. I guarantee that you will have people interested after the deadline. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
