Читать книгу How to sell your paintings? - - Страница 29

In my opinion, knowing the answer to this question is very important. People come to me with the request "teach me how to draw." But how will you know when you're already capable and have learned?

Another request is "how to sell paintings?" How will you know when you're capable of selling your paintings? The question is not as simple as it seems at first glance. When I was learning, my teachers of drawing and painting often used to say a phrase for some reason: "Well, now you've learned how to do a job that puts bread and butter on the table." We didn't just draw or come up with ideas. We worked. We thought with our hands. This phrase was uttered every time we submitted our work. A special praise sounded like "This is already caviar on bread and butter." It might seem like a triviality… but you never know what might strike a chord with someone.

This was in the early 90s. Back then, there were no Lexuses, laptops, or iPhones. We used ink and a pen to show frost on bare tree branches. The quality of execution (not the idea or the flight of thought) was evaluated separately. Do you catch my drift? Why am I telling you this? I'm showing you an achievement. What I'm capable of. Doing. Such works and selling them. It hit me literally the other day. And how do you personally understand when you've achieved something?
