Sorry I have not blogged in a couple of months, but the fall months are my biggest revenue time and I have been so busy.
.
Now is the time that the winter sets in and being in the south, even though we don't have bad winters most of the time, I will be paintings and collecting inventory for my summer sales and other spring happenings.
I just kinda wanted to let you know about some ways that I have managed to make some big revenue during the Fall.
I have been selling my novelty paintings mostly of razorbacks and this has been overwhelming.
Also I have been commissioned by several people to paint portraits. Whew!
And , I have been selling a lot of wildlife paintings and cross paintings. I want to share and tell you about them.
But today I
am going to tell you about making art by teaching what you know and sharing what you can do.
Because many people out there have a hunger for the arts and if you love art you are a messenger and teacher to pass your gift on.

However for right now, on this post I want to talk about making revenue form art classes.
Well I have had several art classes for children from 8 - 13 years of age.
These Classes have been on Saturdays and have lasted about three hours.
And they have been on certain topics or Subjects.
In September We have our annual local rodeo and fair . So I did a rodeo roundup class, which
consisted of drawing and finishing colored pencil horses.
These were images of horses in the arena with a cowboy or cowgirl and the children loved them. Very Simple and Basic Drawing.
They made their own horse picture and we talked about entering in the county extension art contest at the Fair
I helped them frame and wire their pictures, and the
children entered and won various ribbons. Even the county extension women loved me for supporting their program.
I charged a fee and had over 25 children . Now calculate this by your fee charge and see how much you can make.
The expense was paper, colored pencils, wiring materials and the children had to bring their own 8 X 10 frames.
Another expense was pizza and Coke. I went ahead and fed them lunch since we were there for three hours.
And some Pizza places such as Caesars you can get pizza cheap.
Now the secret to getting my children to come to these classes took four scenarios.
First I made flyer of the rodeo roundup art class on the computer.
Second, I contacted the local girl scout program and asked them If they would send out my flyer to local girl scout groups in the area. They said yes , because the girls get a badge for art .
So, I emailed them my flyer.
Third, I ran off about 50 Flyers and called a local school to hand out to the children to take home. My target was a certain age ,children in 3 grades.
They agreed because the schools have to have community involvement now with their new evaluation plans and state curriculum plans.
Fourth and Last , I got on Facebook and went to the local county or city swap shop and posted my flyer of the class.
I had several children's parents inbox me and sign up through this medium.
So I guess you would say that the Flyer was the key to my class success.
This was a good advertisement because , parents loved the class so much that they contacted me about more classes .
So later , for Halloween I had another one, where we painted Halloween images on canvas and painted a message.
They also contacted me at Christmas for another class but I was busy with the children's Christmas program and could not do one,
So this is one of my success stories of selling art and making money with art.
A lot of these parents bought my novelty art and a couple grandparents commissioned me for portraits.
So think about this venue and stay tuned for the next episode of how to make money with art.
I love what I do and I hope you have success with one of my making revenue with art project goals. Good luck and take a look my art I have been selling on my online websites.
