Photographing Your Artwork

October 8th, 2007

A topic that has come up quite a bit recently is how to photograph your artwork. Having good quality images of your work is a must for artists. Not only can you use these images for your online portfolio and website, quality images can also be used for:

* Selling your work on online galleries, such as boundlessgallery.com or yessy.com.
* Using one or more of the online print-on-demand sites to sell prints, such as imagekind.com.
* Printing up nice postcards to mail out to announce upcoming shows or just to send to your mailing list for the holdays.
* Creating decorative tiles; tile boxes; notebooks etc. from places like cafepress.com.  

An excellent tutorial on producing quality images can be found on emptyeasel.com. The article even gives tips on using PhotoShop to make any needed adjustments.

My digital camera has saved me so much time and makes it very easy to produce images. If you don’t have a digital camera yourself, I would imagine you know at least 1 person who would be glad to help you out.

An Artist’s Journey

August 16th, 2007

I put together a quick little Flash timeline of my progression as an artist. I love to see what an artist created when they first started out and where they end up years later. I hope you enjoy it!

My Favorite Feature

July 28th, 2007

Like most artists, I sell and display my paintings on several online galleries. It is definitely a necessary means to promoting your artwork these days. It allows for people to find your work and gives you access to buyers that you wouldn’t have crossed paths with otherwise.

But with the many online galleries and online portfolios out there, my favorite feature by far is the “View in a Room” feature on my site at boundless gallery. This super cool feature allows the viewer to see what a painting would look like in several different rooms provided by boundless. The image also supplies the room’s dimensions so you can get a good idea of how it would work in your space. In addition to viewing the rooms provided by boundless, the viewer can also upload an image of their own room.

Based on a recent article in Art Busines News, buying art online has increased over the past year and is expected to continue in the upward direction. The article also states it is becoming less of a big deal for buyers to purchase a piece of art and just ship it back if it isn’t what was expected or just doesn’t work. Which is reality in the art world overall. A buyer may purchase something in a gallery but when hung in their own home, under their lighting, sometimes it isn’t the right fit.

Dolores - “Are You Listening?” Thank You!

July 14th, 2007

I had been struggling for days with this painting, it just was not working out right. Thankfully, I saw Dolores O’Riordan’s powerful show in Boston at Avalon’s and her music helped me pull it together. I’ve titled it “October” after her song from her new CD “Are You Listening?” Thank you Dolores!
