Getting Market Ready
Hello Friends
The Artists Market is only days away, so I am doing a practice run of how I will set up my stall. It's important to display your art effectively not only for point of sale but also aesthetically. The way your Art is displayed and presented can greatly affect the way market goers connect with you and your work. Join me as I set up my artwork ready for the artists market.
I hope you enjoy : )
My "new" website is

New Art Book & Painting Over Old Pieces
Переглядів 1,8 тис.Місяць тому
Hello Friends Something really exciting arrived this week. Art books are as easy to buy as art supplies, and this art book is no exception. I am so inspired by Flora Yukhnovich's beautiful paintings. I can't get to see any of her paintings in person, so having an art book of her work is very special. I am also sharing a little painting I did of an imagined landscape. It is a reworking of an old...

Colour swatching Complementary Colours
Переглядів 174Місяць тому
Hello Friends This week I have some complementary colors on my painting palette. Complementary colors are wonderful to work with if you know how. If you don't it is quite easy to just end up with mud when you are mixing complementary colors on your paint palette. Knowing how to use complementary colors opens up a wonderful world of possibilities, especially for muted colors. So let's get color-...

Lovely vlog, Selina 😊
Thanks so much 🙏❤️🎨
Lovely work. Good luck in the future.
Thanks so much 🎨❤️
Oh how fun! The display items look easy to see and reach. Great job!! Will you use a table cloth of sorts? The tea towels!! I’ve been dying to put my art on tea towels! Yours are so beautiful!! Where do you get them printed? I’m in USA .
I use The Print Bar in Melbourne. Look for someone who does digital printing rather than screen printing. I’m trying to decide on a tablecloth or perhaps a paper cover. Will show you in next week’s vlog how it goes 🤞😄🩵
Best of luck to you!
Thank you! 🙏 ❤️
Good luck with it all! I loved doing markets but haven't done them for years now. Hoping to start up again next year. Always fun working out the "how" of the stall.
Thank youuuu. Good luck for next year ❤️
That sounds like a scam to me really. They are trying to go after people who want to keep their domain name.
Sadly yes
It’s a juggling act for sure in the market place of the internet. It’s a challenge to be a creator and have that mental and emotional space within yourself to create while battling all the practical problems and hurdles that come along in making a living from your passion. Go Daddy also hosts my domain so I actually decided to host my website through them. So far, I am very pleased with the platform. Thanks for the heads up and sharing.
Sorry to hear that happened to you. Had no idea this kind of thing could happen. It’s a new opportunity to reach a global audience now. :) Your new website looks great! One thing I noticed is that the copyright line is above the artwork when you to go to the Shop section. Usually it is part of the footer. Not sure if you intended that. Your website looks very beautiful, clean and bright. I was wondering if these are original art pieces you are packing here or prints?
Thanks for the heads up. Yes it should be in the footer. Yes they are my original artwork I use as prints. 🎨😄
Your work is so amazing I wonder if it wouldn't be a good idea that you allow a gallery to represent you. Your work is amazing!!!!! So beautiful, you would have no problem being in a gallery and it would free you up!!!!
Thank you. Being represented is definitely in my plans. 😄
I agree with you, that changing links and names, causes a lot of problems. However, you have a broader usage with the word ART. The art you do will real much broader, that your name.
Thanks
I would never use WIX! Ever! They are run by dodgy people !!!! The rescue one just bought your domain on the expiration date, a bit like when the internet started and people registered company names to sell them back, greedily. I have used register365 in Ireland and trust them very much. Our your renewals in auto renew and there is no issue like this.
Always always read the fine print. It takes long but it could save you.
Yes! I still would have expected to receive an invoice for renewal so I feel a lot of this is on Wix.
Fascinating ! Thanks for sharing :)
Thanks for watching! ❤️
Beautiful website. You’re a creative, a survivor and a caring coach. 🙏🏼 All the best as you move forward.
Thank youuuu 🙏❤️
Great idea! Yes sales improve when the cuatro touches the product. In high end stores that pay commissions, the staff will put an item into your hands if they sense your interest.
Oh clever! 😄
This happened to me a few yrs ago because of a google snafu. My gmail got locked and my domain was with google domains, now defunct. I couldn't renew and one of these domain squatters got it. This was a dude, not an agency. He started emailing me trying to sell back to me for a high price. Would not negotiate and I was pretty upset at him and this practice I knew nothing about. So after a few emails back and forth, I told him where he could stick MY domain. Well, dude was pretty stupid and I am not so his scam didn't work out. NOBODY would want my domain even though it had great presence online bc my domain is specific to me only. A year or two later, a domain squatting agency apparentlly got it. There was an auction and even though I was waiting to bid, they do their scams internally. I lost again. I tried to reason with this agency. No go. They wanted trademark info. I don't have. Google was no help at all. They will have you run around in circles and it goes nowhere. To spare my nerves, I moved on. Got a new domain but kept watching my former one. These agencies, I am sure, have this process automated so, again, no one wanted my domain. After a good while, the domain was free. LOL and I got it back. But now I have 3 domains I pay for. And they are all good. So I have each one pointing to a shops, and my blog.
Hello, I'm also an artist and I'm seeing so much of these issues lately... I'm starting to wonder if I shouldn't start a business helping other artists survive that mess... If you need anything, don't hesitate to message! It really sucks to lose everything when it comes to google referencing, SEO, and all the work that is behind this...
Thanks. It’s pretty crazy. I’m such a small fish in the scheme of things. 🙄❤️
I had similiar with vista print website then wix took over and my domain expired it was complex I think I was meant to renew I just let them keep it as it was going to be very expensive and felt id lost control of it bit muddy I found so just washed my hands of my domain name, I haven't got a website now and had very little traffic to my old website anyway. I use Facebook, instagram you tube to show my art and stuff word of mouth is often the best and fayres it does take time for website setting up Ill get round to it next year but not are I have a folksy platform for selling some art and crafts I need to upload more to it all takes time.
So sorry that happened to you, Selina. Just visited the current website, as requested. Wishing you nothing but the best from here on in!
Thanks so much ❤️
Wow I’m so sorry about your website. Your “new” one is beautiful. The colors are very inviting and the navigation is simple and flows easily. You are more than generous with your free content and your wonderful tips on UA-cam. I enjoy your warmth and ability to be so genuine in your deliveries as well. You make me want to drop in for a cup of tea and do art together. Thank you sweet human!
That’s so kind of you. Thank you. ❤️🙏 I love your idea of doing art together over a cup of tea. Maybe I’ll figure out how to do a livestream one day 😀
So sorry that happened to you Selina. I just visited your ‘new’ website and your paintings are simply stunning 🌷
Thank you so much ❤️
Thanks so much for being so willing to share these tips for newer artists to learn from. I especially appreciate the links to Aussie suppliers and your experience with using them.
You’re welcome ☺️ nice to have another Aussie viewer 😄🎨❤️
Thank you so much for sharing, really was encouraged by the use of greeting cards and the post card marketing and info distribution through the book mark sized pieces, beautiful art, i love the colors and the abstract landscapes! Also thank for your mention of vistaprint. I have an account with them but I hadn't used it in a long time and had forgotten what other services they offer, so that was nice to hear that they also offer greeting cards w the cellophane envelopes. Thank you again!
You’re welcome ☺️ I think years ago vistaprint had a bad name for average quality but they have really lifted their game and I find everything I order these days to be great quality. Have fun! 😄
Thanks for the tips, Selina. I love the art book! What a lovely way to get your work into more hands. I really appreciate your videos and gentle intros. 😊
You’re welcome ☺️ and thank you so much ❤️
Isn’t it so fun to create your marketing ideas, execute them and then see them come to fruition. There is something inside me that bursts with joy when I see my artwork on cards, bookmarks, etc. Your artwork looks absolutely beautiful on all of this! What a fun video to watch. I love your channel! Could you add a link for your tea towel printing place?
It is fun! 😄 thanks so much. ❤️ I get the tea towels from The Print Bar. They operate out of two offices in both Melbourne and Brisbane. Enjoy! 😂
❤❤❤❤bravissima
Grazie 🙏❤️❤️
How much is a cup in Australia? In Sweden if we see an old recipe with cup in it we assume it is a coffee cup and that was about 1.5 dl if it say Tea cup it is about 2.5 dl. When I seach I see an english cup is 2.8 dl and an american is 2.4 dl.
Hmmmm. In Australia a cup is 250 ml (millilitres) Google says 100ml is 1dl so looks like your coffee cup is the closest 😊
@@selinawilsonartThanks then I know that it is 2.5 dl. The coffee cup is only 150 ml, (1 liter = 10 dl = 100 cl = 1000ml). Thanks
@ingegerdandersson6963 great. If all fails you can always remelt the plate and either add more or less water or gelatine as needed. Less water firmer plate. Let me know how you go 🙂
I agree that dedrites look like an admission of a too much paint error. 😂
😂
very lovely, thank you!
Thanks so much 😊🎨❤️
AND these prints are absolutely stunning!
Thank you 🙏 🎨❤️
Thanks so much 🎨❤️
Could you please include a link where we can purchase the items you are using such as paper, powder color etc.
I’m based in central Victoria Australia and get my supplies locally so I don’t have any links I could share, sorry. Any art supply store should carry these or be able to order them for you. 🎨🙏
Fabulously inspiring! Can you put a link where I can purchase the paper please?
Thanks! The papers are sold by all good art supply stores and definitely by specialist printmaking supply stores. You’re looking for Somerset velvet (also comes in satin) 250gsm printmaking paper. Hope that helps 😊🎨❤️
Very nice!
Thank you ❤️
Voice definitely
Thank you 🙏
So can you melt the cold wax medium from gamblin?
No. This is a complete new ingredients to make a similar cold wax medium to Gamblin
I thought I was the only one using my gel plate in this fashion! Great video, thank you.
😄 snap! Thank you ❤️
Checkout Avebury & Stonehenge...😊
I will! 🎨💗
These shapes remind me of Avebury stonea
They do! 😄 I’ve always loved Stonehenge. Didn’t know about Avebury. Thanks for making the connection ❤️
Selina, I read this with interest as I am an oil stick user and I have three extra large tubes of oil paint that I ordered by accident. This seems to me like an opportunity to try this out. I am wondering if there is any chance this would work with soy wax? You probably haven't tried it, but may know of so who has? I ask because I have a bag of sky wax I bought to do batiks and it is still sitting here unused. I suppose I could must try it and see, but I would prefer to know if it would be a waste of time. Thanks.
I see that you already answered this question. Thank you
@@saracrittendencoppedge4522 I hope you will still give it a go 🙂❤️
I made an oil "chunk". I am so pleased with myself. I followed your directions and made a nice greenie brown color chunk. It is a chunk because I poured the melted mixture into a small paper cup meant for resin. When it set up, I cut down the side of the cup and out came an oil paint chunk. I like that it is big! Thanks so much for the directions.😀
Yay! 😄 Sounds delightful! 🎉🎨❤️
I love your work so much and can see why you are so inspired by the work of Flora.
Thank you so much 🎨❤️
Cool video! Love it❤😊
Thanks you! 🎨❤️
So pretty
Thanks so much 🎨🩵
Your voice please!
@@LJ-xw3ou 🙏💗
I love YOUR work!!!
Thanks so much! 😄🎨❤️
I prefer voice over but I understand the work that goes into making a video and appreciate it all, thanks
Good to know. Thanks 😊❤️
Strain it.
Thanks. As I’ve said in comments below I let the water cool too much while I was talking 🙄😂
Love this without music. Would love to have your voice, and you talking and explaining your process etc….just don’t need the music…..
Thanks Kym ❤️
It’s an algorithm thing…do not do the music….please…..would much rather have your voice and you explaining your processes etc…..just don’t need the music….but do need you talking etc…..
Thank you. I feel I can blab on 😄 so good to know what I say is useful to you ❤️
❤thanks for sharing! And your work is beautiful and inspiring to me.
Thanks so much ❤️ so happy to hear you’re inspired 🎉
❤ beautiful
Thank you! 🙂🎨
