Here are some ideas on how to make money with your art:

  • Offer commissions. This is a great way to make money if you have a specific skill set or style that is in demand. Consider taking our Pricing Commissioned Projects masterclass (currently it's FREE, so don't miss out and sign up now) and these other highly effective Masterclasses with all the insight and tools you need to break into commissions.

  • License your art. This means selling the rights to your art to be used on products, such as t-shirts, mugs, and posters. Consider taking our Licensing Your Art masterclass that will help you open up a revenue stream from licensing.

  • Become an Event Artist. An event artist is a type of artist who creates art live at events. They can be hired to paint, draw, or sculpt at weddings, corporate events, festivals, and other special occasions.

  • Sell your art online. There are many websites and marketplaces where you can sell your art, such as Etsy, Saatchi Art, and Society6.

  • Sell your art at art fairs and exhibitions. This is a great way to get your work seen by a wider audience and to meet potential buyers.

  • Teach art classes. This is a great way to share your love of art with others and to make some money on the side.

  • Give talks or workshops about art. This is a great way to share your knowledge and expertise with others and to make some money on the side.

  • Write articles or blog posts about art. This is a great way to share your thoughts and ideas about art and to make some money through advertising or affiliate marketing.

The best way to make money with your art will depend on your individual skills and interests. However, all of these methods can be a great way to start generating income from your artwork.

Here are some additional tips that you may find helpful:

  • Be passionate about your art. If you're not passionate about your art, it will be difficult to make money from it.

  • Be professional. When you're selling your art, it's important to be professional and to present yourself in a positive light.

  • Set realistic prices. Don't undervalue your work, but don't overprice it either.

  • Promote your work. Let people know about your art and where they can buy it.

  • Be patient. It takes time to build a successful art business. Don't get discouraged if you don't see results immediately. Just keep creating great art, promoting your work, and providing excellent customer service, and eventually you will start to see a difference.

I hope these tips help you to start making money with your art!

Have a lovely week!
