How do you know if art is sellable?
But just because people aren’t buying your work doesn’t mean your work is not good enough to sell. If you are getting validation in the form of likes, comments, and followers, you are good enough to be selling your work. But to get sales you actually have to make sales. Just making art is not enough.

Do you ever feel good enough to sell your art?
Ever. I know I don’t, and I sell a lot of drawings. The problem with waiting until you feel good enough to sell your art is that feeling good enough is a moving target. The feeling never lasts. As artists we are constantly improving.
How can you tell if an artwork is valuable?
If an artwork contains quintessential details, it may be more valuable. The year the work was painted is relevant as well, as many artists have their ‘peak’ most valuable periods. Is the artwork a sculpture?
How do I determine if my artwork is original or reproduction?
If you are certain you have an original oil, watercolor, or sculpture – or a signed and/or numbered work by the artist, proceed with the other valuation questions. If you are unsure, we suggest you let a local frame shop or art gallery help you determine if you have an original work versus a reproduction.
How do I find out more about my artist?
