"Your family and friends love you and want to buy your art and support your dreams" if this is true for you then you live a very privileged life. Many of us our family do not love us, or want to support our dreams.
The one camera is not color corrected properly. It’s super distracting! This guy is a film creator influencer and the video is hard to watch! Great content, just bad editing and not a very good representation from a “pro” video educator. Sorry.. I’m a pro video creator and this bugs me. Again I love the message in the content.
thanks for the comment.... but I am not a professional "video editor" I am a professional artist and trying to share my knowledge with other aspiring artists... professional video creators are not my target audience 🙂
Oh I know! I didn’t think you produced this video it was the interviewer who did. I’m just saying his video was distracting. But yeah I paint too.. so I am your audience. Video is my day job. Keep up the great work!
There should be no guilt in copying. It’s how we learned everything! Think about learning to talk. We all learned from copying what other people were saying. And then we made it our own.
Exactly :) artists just have to remember that copying another artists paintings is only allowed for learning purposes and for enjoyment... if they try to sell that work or claim it as their own then they can run afoul of copyright legislation.
so its ok for UA-cam to put ads for other peoples products on my videos... but its not ok for me to promote my own courses after giving amazing value? Please🤔
@timpackerfinearts its the click bait way you've done it. Self promotion is fine. Receiving feed back badly is a bit suspect though. I had the same reaction halfway through your video. Now I don't want your product or the desire to look through your back catalogue of videos.
@@aaronash58 that is certainly your perogative... but the greatest products in the world don't get to the people who could actually benefit from them without effective marketing. While you might not like it... I have thousands of satisfied students who have benefited from my course. Have a Nice day🙂
I did (and was good at) doing caricatures. Of friends, family, co-workers. So I tried my hand at setting up shop at a fair. I did a bit of business, did fine work, and customers were pleased. And I hated every moment of it. Lesson learned.
1. Have quality work 2. Have work that is unique and recognizably, authentically you 3. Exposure. Getting as many eyes on your work as possible. The larger percentage of ppl seeing your work the greater possibility someone will buy. 3 is the hardest factor and is what separates amateurs from professionals. An amateur can be as good or even better on a technical level, but what separates the 2 is sales and getting eyes on work.
Tim has solid information about art and business. I love his paintings. He led me to other artists like Harley Brown (Eternal Truths book), a master of drawing and composition. Tim’s teaching videos go right to the heart of the matter, composition, color theory, etc. His clarification about practice, process and product modes helped me understand it is fine to “fail”, experimenting & taking risks is important. The different modes help me not get stuck in my comfort zone, and help clarify that I am learning something new. I took one of Tim’s courses and learned a lot. I’ve watch much of what he offers for free on YT. There are a lot of people out there selling courses to artists, Tim has a lot of practical experience he’s sharing and he emphasizes a growth mindset. I’ve learned a lot from him.
I do my shows alone, and it's totally worth renting from a company who sets up the tent for you and takes it down when the show is over. Costs a little more than $100, and you just walk into your tent that's ready to go, and walk away when you're done. Putting up the displays takes me a while so I get there a couple of hours before the show. Otherwise, I could get friends or family, or hire a helper.
I could not agree more that you can find a lot of new ideas and skills by imitating the old masters. I painted flowers in a vase on a table, and took it from a painting by Monet. It didn't look like the Monet, but people love it, but I never let go of it. Apparently I can paint intending to copy Monet, but come up with a nice image. I have my own style I like and wouldn't rely on that. You wouldn't want to do an actual copy the old masters, but in the process of trying you may be pushed into a new level of your own creativity.
Hello Tim Packer: I'm from Uruguay, South America. Do you think I can have results selling my art if I take your course not being from the United States or any first world country?
The most famous artists work sell to investors who plan to sell the artwork when the pri e of the artwork goes up. Vincent Van Gogh's paintings were not worth any money until Van Gogh's sister in law who inherited Van Gogh's paintings made his paintings famous by organizing exhibits of his paintings all over Europe and probably also the U.K.. Then there is commercial art like greeting cards and t shirts and posters and prints that sell according to how popular they are
You are talking about historic artists. I am talking to artists who are currently trying to make a living from their art. That’s a very different situation 😊👍
Tim's classes are the real deal and so is he. His composition course is second to none. Very glad to see he's looking so strong and healthy. I know he had a serious health scare a few years ago. Best of luck to all!!!
While hard work and dedication are crucial, innate talent plays a significant role in artistic success in my opinion. Contrary to many artists' claims I have heard recently, talent cannot be completely discounted. For me, talent also means having a natural inclination to find painting interesting or enjoyable. It might involve having a better eye for colors, making it easier to distinguish shades or a superior hand-eye coordination. Defining talent is complex, but it's undeniable that talent exists and plays a crucial role.
agree, talent is where you just paint with no tuition or practice and it turns out nice . or if you are musical you start of playing a cheapo guitar and dont have lessons but get the hang of it quite easily
@@Makyui No it doesn't. It just means that some people have to work harder, that's all. But of cause, you could use everything as an excuse if you wanted to.
So, as I understand the biggest problem of low sales is not being at art festivals, because unique voice and skills are mastered. I can’t reach people who are willing to spend few thousands on a painting. I only reached people who can spend only few hundred dollars.
You need to find a way to get your art in front of a qualified audience. It doesn’t matter how good the art is… if you are not getting it in front of people who can afford it then you won’t get any sales
Is your courses geared toward beginners? I’m a beginner looking still to master techniques and practices but needing guidance. YT is great but overwhelming on where to focus and what to practice but don’t want to go the conventional method of art school. No where near ready for the business side yet, could you make any suggestions or recommendations?
I would recommend that you start with my colour and composition course for $69 ( there is a link in the description) and then to take advantage of the winter Paintalong course for just $29 at the time of purchase😊👍
But don't you need money, or to work, to live on while you are developing your art. Thats where I am getting stuck, the priority to pay my bills first and ........................
Thank you, Tim! I've learnt a lot from your videos over the past year or so. I'm still at the beginning of my process mode and working out what my art is, and what it's about. I do intend to take your course at some point in the future! :D It was good to hear you being interviewed. Gives me a lot of hope and warm feelings. I love hearing about artists who have become successful selling their work. I have my first exhibition coming up this weekend, my first show in 22 years. Hanging the work was a strange feeling and seeing it sitting there in a public space feels a bit vulnerable. Baby steps! :) Thanks again.
Oil painting sold for $5000, but the manufacturer only got maybe half of that If He Is Lucky. Mind you, he had to make it and frame it, while the 'gallery' barely did any work promoting, if any. Oh, and they keep their client list to themselves, so this dude does not get to sell to the patron again later on. Get your own clients, they are usually for life. Galleries are for starving artists.
No… I got 60% and I did not frame it… my material costs were about $50 and the gallery paid for the space, heated the space, insured the space prompted my work and brought in the client … I also sell directly to clients in person and on line… but commercial galleries can also be an important pillar in multiple income streams for artists… the fact that you don’t know this just reveals your lack of understanding of everything that goes into a very successful career😊👍
@@timpackerfinearts Is this in some country like US? Here in Finland you routinely have to pay rent for the gallery space (2k+€/month) and the gallery still takes a provision (30-50%). You do the hanging yourself, you ship your work to and from the gallery, and you have to do the promotion yourself. Then the art sale has VAT (10% or 24.5% depending on the medium), you have to pay necessary pension contributions (something like 15%) and then income tax (20%-50%). To top it off, none of the galleries ever sell anything. Ever. You just have to do this so you can apply for grants and show them that you have solo shows.
@@adisaikkonen wow... that sounds horrible. I live in Canada. We do not pay to show in a good commercial gallery, they do the promotion and my galleries sell lots of my work. What you are talking about sounds like what we call "Vanity Galleries" her in Canada. Where anyone can show their work but they pay for the privilege.
Tim...I've been watching a lot of your videos and you keep brining this "you need a unique voice" thing up. But the problem is that there are TONS of artists in the "Western Art" category who are selling their paintings for $7,000 to $27,000 regularly. I don't think that their voice is "unique". It's all cowboys and Indians. Yet it constantly sells (at high prices) and I don't think these artists have a "unique voice". Same goes for some people painting flowers. I have seen a gal who is constantly selling peonies on Instagram. They are essentially just a still life. And 80% is that same kind of flower. So I don't see how that could be considered a unique voice. The idea seems like one of those that seems good from afar but upon closer inspection proves to be far from good because there are so many exceptions to the rule. It seems more that the idea would be that one needs a "brand". You need to be known for "your thing". But "your thing" could be being done by other people. And almost certainly will be. You need to do "your thing" and then have it presented to the public in such a way that you SEEM to be the only one doing what you do. Because people who are looking to pay thousands of dollars for original art don't have the time or inclination to shop around for someone doing the "same thing" at lower prices.
Hi Brian, yes there are exceptions to every rule... But consider this...The one way that some artists separate themselves from the majority of artists is simply by the virtuoso skill and compositional sense that they exhibit in their paintings or by the awards or memberships that they have achieved that separate them from the pack. and yes this goes in to branding... and some times it comes down to being "picked" by someone who is an influencer in the art world who can promote your work. But how do you get picked? and in this case your career is entirely in the hands of other people. At the end of the day if you want your work to sell for the above the average price of the starving artists out there, there must be something that separates your work from those other artists... I believe that developing a process to great work with a unique voice is the surest way to do that.
I like very much your paintings, I don't say it to every artist. I do sacred geometry and I am studying how to. what I see it is that many have the problem of choise the right platforms and the problem of procrastination, me too but for economical difficulties I have do it fast, for this reason I learned very much in the last weeks. I am 58 years old and I cannot sell to friends and family. I want to see all your paintings in the next days. have a nice life.
its called building curiosity... unfortunately something that is necessary to stop the scroll and get people to continue watching... If you are serious about becoming a successful artist there is a ton of great information there.
You seemed to be focused on landscapes. Can an artist be successful doing portraits and figure paintings. I have draw portraits though out my life. Everyone says I always get a good likeness. Drew my first portrait at around 5 years.
It helps if you frequent businesses like Beauty Salons, Pizzerias and Car Washes. Especially ones managed by folks who only accept cash. Those people love to collect Art. lol
I think either oils or acrylic are fine but by craft paints do you mean lower quality paints. If so I would not use them. Try to stick to higher quality paints. The cheaper ones don’t have the same colour intensity plus they tend to fade much more quickly 👍😊
What can artists do if they live where there are no art shows or festivals. I live in France and these things just don’t exist here. There’s also no gallery system to speak of.
@@blackvirgo09 Sad but true. The government made it easy for artists to run their own galleries, charging them at a much lower tax rate, thinking they were doing a good thing. But what it meant was that top galleries pretty much went into the more lucrative business of selling the work of famous old dead artists. I’ve been in many artist-run galleries but it’s quite difficult to find space that’s not crazy expensive. We have a group that has shows at a local presbytère that we rent for two months each summer. I’ve sold several paintings there but after cancer surgery and chemo, I simply don't have the physical energy to do it any more. And everything sort of fell apart during the Covid lock down. So I’m not sure I’ll ever be participating any more.
@@21ruevictorhugo its certainly not easy, no matter where an artist lives. I would investigate current artists who are successful in your country and find out how they got there and then model your plans after that.
@@timpackerfinearts I live in a very rural,area, so there’s very few artists to meet and I know them all. The town I,live in has a population of 165, and the 'big town' nearby has 2200 people. My large local city is Bergerac, with about 31,000. When I lived in Massachusetts the 'small' town I lived in had 30,000 people. 🤣
@@21ruevictorhugo the reality of becoming a successful artist is that you do need to get your art in front of people. That can be a challenge in your circumstances ... but there is also social media that can reach people any where in the world. In the end though all of our choices affect the probability of our success. For example... If my dream was to be a professional golfer and make it to the PGA tour but I lived in Alaska. I would have to decide which was more important to me... Living in Alaska? or becoming a professional golfer? because it would be very unlikely I could do both. You may need to ask yourself the same question. Which is more important? Remaining where you currently live? or becoming a successful artist?
Pretty old hat. I’m sure festivals are great if you make kitsch landscape paintings that’ll look good and grandma's living room wall. If you wanna go a bit more experimental though it’s going to be a lot harder. Not impossible but harder. There’s probably an online community that will appreciate your niche and if you’re lucky you can set up a little micro brand and make a living that way through patreon or something, that's what I see some animators and digital artists I like doing anyway. Still your pretty beholden to the algorithm that way which really sucks and might just decide to screw you one day if there some kind of update or something. Great advice on the copying though, I noticed my first bit of growth when I started copying comic styles that I like and I actually don't feel guilty about it anymore.

Amazing, very helpful, and i enjoyed how genuine you share your knowledge and experience, thank you.I just got introduced to your channel through that episode i love it. 😁
Interesting i must say because this is the first time I've heard anyone give detailed answers to how you can become a successful artist. I'm Ben Williams from Nigeria and I'd really love to take my career in art to the next level.
No… it is the quality of the art. It doesn’t matter how many people you know… if people don’t want to buy an artists work nothing else matters. I have been the top selling artist in commercial galleries, art festivals and have a huge list of private clients. None of those people involved “knew” me before they saw my art… the art is what made them want to get to know me.
@@timpackerfinearts Basquiat would not have made it coming up through the ranks, as just one example. Im not talking about people without interesting art, just that marketing matters, & the art world is not that different than the music industry. If u r not promoted by the right people, u may never get seen or supported by those who create the intrigue. Same with art markets or the plein air circuit, there’s a lot of networking that can either elevate a talented artist or bury them below the more socially attractive players. Of course it can vary case by case, we r just speaking in larger generalities. Both of our opinions r anecdotal.
@@friedricengravy6646 I agree that some artists have achieved fame and fortune purely because of being promoted by people with influence… and many of those artist produced only moderately competent art. If an artist is only producing moderately competent art… then you are right… the only way they will be successful is if they get “picked” by the right people with influence. But if an artist consistently produces great work that the public loves then they don’t need that type of influence. My philosophy is to focus on mastering the skills and concepts and pushing one’s creativity until you are consistently creating great art. That leaves the artist in control of their destiny and not dependent on being “picked” by one person😊👍
@@joanBreen You would rather follow your own negative mindset instead of learning from an experienced and successful artist who has achieved it. It is called learning from a role model. Ok. I wish you the best.
There are *millions of amazing and creative artists* . Majority of these talented folks are unknown...... But Because of technology - ( *the smartphone* ) the average person can now be seen . These so called _best_ and financially _successful_ are *represented by money* / _agents_ & _galleries_ . Are these professional artists any good? *Yes* these pros are *fantastic at business* . Are these *professional artists actually creative* ? Well let's Just say - your average shop worker can easily handle the professional.
The most successful are great at creating great work with a unique voice that resonates with the public as well as being great at business. Put those two together and you have a winning combination.
Man, this hit me in the feels right now. I'm working as an illustrator and have had to put my own painting at the side. I thought I'd had time to do both but it is very hard. Now, watching this video I got reminded how much I loved doing my own thing and it hurts. I think I need to remake my fitore again and go where it feels right to go.
This is bs. The market is not art festivals. It is Vegas, casinos, hotel chains.... They buy art that looks great for about 10 minutes then pushes the viewer away. Just like the music industry sells mostly banal repetitive hooks that push people out of coffee shops.
Wow that’s some real bitterness… but you are absolutely wrong… the vast majority of working artists start out selling their work at art festivals… if they become successful they often migrate to commercial galleries or create an online presence that allows them to deal directly with clients . I know many artists who do six figures in sales every year… None of them sell in Vegas or hotel chains. Hotels are notorious for buying cheap art that is mass produced and banal. Which is why serious artists who want to get good prices for their work should not even think of trying to sell their work there.
Hi Tim. Thank you for sharing your videos. I've been creating for 56 years. I want to believe you but I've been burned and kicked in the heart too many times. I'd be super grateful for some testimonials, especially from artists in the prairies. Thank you very much Tim!!
Check out the testimonials on my website at www.timpackerartacademy.com and the mentorship project on my channel with Brooke Cormier. I’ll be releasing my full interview with Emma Hainstock on my channel next week 😊👍 plus 30 Day no question asked money back guarantee on my courses 👍 honest 😉
I don’t like his paintings. They all look the same. I guess he is good at sales and now he is looking to sell a course to help artists. So the real money must be in creating an artist help course.
No… I would be making more money if I had just stayed focused on painting… and it doesn’t matter if “you” like my paintings or any other individual likes my paintings. It matters if “enough” people love my work or any other artist’s work. 👍😊
@@timpackerfinearts I agree. It is just to have enough people like your work. I personally hate artists like Rothko. He couldn't paint well or sell his early art, but he started painting squares of color. Enough people started to see and buy his art and he is now in the large museums. I don't like your paintings (looking at them on the video since I haven't seen them in real life). I am sure there is a market for them. I have seen similar art mass produced for Target and decorator stores where people buy art that matches the color of the couch and drapes. You may have had success, good for you. If you want to honestly help artists that is commendable and I wish you the best.
I hear you but, I can't do my art to please people. I have to paint to please me. So copying someone doesn't work for me. Or painting something that people might want as opposed to painting what I want. I know someone who was asked to paint a picture of Buckingham Palace for king Charles' coronation, it was going to be projected on to the Palace at night. This person said no, because they couldn't get excited about painting Buckingham Palace. Personally, I think in this particular case, regardless of my not getting excited about painting a Palace, I would have done it anyway, because of the promotion that it would have brought. But generally, I understand the idea clearly that you have to paint in the style that you love and enjoy, and then if others like it great, but if they don't, you can't alter what comes out of your soul just to try and make money.
That is all fine and good if you paint as a "hobby" but if you want to make it your profession and support yourself by the sale of your art... that is strategy is very unlikely to result in a successful career. The key to that is to develop the skills and find a unique voice so that you can paint work that both you and the public love👍
Omg what a brag show, if this guy makes millions why not offer free online courses? Purely clickbait,- this advice is laughable, maybe of use in kindergarten 🤣

Is it the same with you ? Here, in France the everyday festival purchase is never over 150$ for a 24”x24” framed painting that would normally sell for 400$….The big paintings just are not selling in the art festivals ….
@@timpackerfinearts Yes, I believe your taxes are lower too like in the UK. We are taxed highly (24% + 18%+ not able to deduct my supplies as I’m on a simplified tax system and if in a gallery , they are around 30% to 60% ….

@@gregpolutanovich1774 the magic answer is to develop the skills and creativity to create work that gets the "Oh my God! I Love it! I have to have it!" reaction from the public. Once you can do that then selling one's art is easy.
@timpackerfinearts Plus there is a price point.Selling ten dollars prints is easy but selling expensive original paintings and bronze sculptures for thousands is not so easy..
@@gregpolutanovich1774 it is if the work gets that reaction. My giclee prints sell for over one thousand dollars and my originals sell for up to 17 thousand and I have not had a surplus of originals for the past 20 years.

@@donitafichter8298 that doesn’t mean no. It means that it has no baring on what is being shared here. I am a very dedicated Christian and I never ask someone that. That is not my business but between them and God.
@@gaylamassey6637 Sorry, I disagree. While I don’t necessarily understand why the question was originally asked, true followers of Christ will stand for Him at any time when asked. A Christ follower can give a simple response, yes or no, with no need for preaching, but a clear and unafraid answer to stand for Him. If a true Christian is asked, one has an opportunity to stand for Christ whether or not the asking person “should or shouldn’t” ask the question. That statement itself is very worldly. What are you (anyone that is) afraid of by answering? That you might be seen a certain way by the world, or that it could negatively affect your acceptance, in this case, as an artist? Sales? Self concern and “protection” from non believers over love of Christ? As Christians maybe we gotta stop making excuses and standing behind “I keep my religious beliefs to myself”. It’s definitely easier on the surface, I agree, but, boiling it down… you must examine your true motives for deciding not to share your beliefs if indeed you actually believe. We have to answer to Him in the end, not viewers, not, in this case, potential art buyers who may be offended by our Christian standing. So…..Praying for strength for believers to stand for Christ even if it costs us in this upside down world.
I too am a born again Christian ( actually, there isn't any other type of Christian. You are 'born again' as soon as you make Jesus your LORD and Saviour) and as a true Christian, you never miss an opportunity to tell someone and the world that you're a Christian PERIOD. Jesus is worth more to me than any amount of money I could ever earn from my art. And believe me, I would Llllllloooove to earn money from my art😅❤❤❤

3. Exposure. Getting as many eyes on your work as possible.
The larger percentage of ppl seeing your work the greater possibility someone will buy.
3 is the hardest factor and is what separates amateurs from professionals. An amateur can be as good or even better on a technical level, but what separates the 2 is sales and getting eyes on work.
You need to it all.

For an Art Fair How do you deal with storing the canopy and displays, putting them up, etc?
I am not able to put it up myself.
Then you would need to either get friends or family to help or hire someone👍
I do my shows alone, and it's totally worth renting from a company who sets up the tent for you and takes it down when the show is over. Costs a little more than $100, and you just walk into your tent that's ready to go, and walk away when you're done. Putting up the displays takes me a while so I get there a couple of hours before the show. Otherwise, I could get friends or family, or hire a helper.
So true. The ones with unique work is the the most sought out and rightly so. Your unique work is awesome and so calming. 😃👍
Thanks so much
I could not agree more that you can find a lot of new ideas and skills by imitating the old masters. I painted flowers in a vase on a table, and took it from a painting by Monet. It didn't look like the Monet, but people love it, but I never let go of it. Apparently I can paint intending to copy Monet, but come up with a nice image. I have my own style I like and wouldn't rely on that. You wouldn't want to do an actual copy the old masters, but in the process of trying you may be pushed into a new level of your own creativity.
Exactly :)
I can come up with bad Monets as well :))
Hello Tim Packer: I'm from Uruguay, South America. Do you think I can have results selling my art if I take your course not being from the United States or any first world country?
@@veronica32343 I think that with the current global economy it is possible to be successful regardless of where you are from 😊👍
Thank you
The most famous artists work sell to investors who plan to sell the artwork when the pri e of the artwork goes up. Vincent Van Gogh's paintings were not worth any money until Van Gogh's sister in law who inherited Van Gogh's paintings made his paintings famous by organizing exhibits of his paintings all over Europe and probably also the U.K.. Then there is commercial art like greeting cards and t shirts and posters and prints that sell according to how popular they are
You are talking about historic artists. I am talking to artists who are currently trying to make a living from their art. That’s a very different situation 😊👍
@@timpackerfinearts People who REALLY make money in the art world still work the same way/Especially in commercial art

Tim's classes are the real deal and so is he. His composition course is second to none. Very glad to see he's looking so strong and healthy. I know he had a serious health scare a few years ago. Best of luck to all!!!
Thanks Sean 😁💪🙏
While hard work and dedication are crucial, innate talent plays a significant role in artistic success in my opinion. Contrary to many artists' claims I have heard recently, talent cannot be completely discounted. For me, talent also means having a natural inclination to find painting interesting or enjoyable. It might involve having a better eye for colors, making it easier to distinguish shades or a superior hand-eye coordination. Defining talent is complex, but it's undeniable that talent exists and plays a crucial role.
What you are talking about… I refer to as passion… which is love of the thing paired with an obsessive desire to master everything about it 😊👍
agree, talent is where you just paint with no tuition or practice and it turns out nice . or if you are musical you start of playing a cheapo guitar and dont have lessons but get the hang of it quite easily
This just sounds to me like an excuse to stop trying.
@@Makyui No it doesn't. It just means that some people have to work harder, that's all. But of cause, you could use everything as an excuse if you wanted to.
So, as I understand the biggest problem of low sales is not being at art festivals, because unique voice and skills are mastered. I can’t reach people who are willing to spend few thousands on a painting. I only reached people who can spend only few hundred dollars.
You need to find a way to get your art in front of a qualified audience. It doesn’t matter how good the art is… if you are not getting it in front of people who can afford it then you won’t get any sales
Is your courses geared toward beginners? I’m a beginner looking still to master techniques and practices but needing guidance. YT is great but overwhelming on where to focus and what to practice but don’t want to go the conventional method of art school. No where near ready for the business side yet, could you make any suggestions or recommendations?
I would recommend that you start with my colour and composition course for $69 ( there is a link in the description) and then to take advantage of the winter Paintalong course for just $29 at the time of purchase😊👍
But don't you need money, or to work, to live on while you are developing your art. Thats where I am getting stuck, the priority to pay my bills first and ........................
Yes it is probably a good idea to work another job or even a part time job until you start making regular sales of your work.
there's somebody peaking in the background... you have a visitor... 😅🤣😂
I know 🙄
Thank you, Tim! I've learnt a lot from your videos over the past year or so. I'm still at the beginning of my process mode and working out what my art is, and what it's about. I do intend to take your course at some point in the future! :D It was good to hear you being interviewed. Gives me a lot of hope and warm feelings. I love hearing about artists who have become successful selling their work. I have my first exhibition coming up this weekend, my first show in 22 years. Hanging the work was a strange feeling and seeing it sitting there in a public space feels a bit vulnerable. Baby steps! :) Thanks again.
so Exciting 🤗Good luck this weekend!

Oil painting sold for $5000, but the manufacturer only got maybe half of that If He Is Lucky. Mind you, he had to make it and frame it, while the 'gallery' barely did any work promoting, if any.
Oh, and they keep their client list to themselves, so this dude does not get to sell to the patron again later on. Get your own clients, they are usually for life. Galleries are for starving artists.
No… I got 60% and I did not frame it… my material costs were about $50 and the gallery paid for the space, heated the space, insured the space prompted my work and brought in the client … I also sell directly to clients in person and on line… but commercial galleries can also be an important pillar in multiple income streams for artists… the fact that you don’t know this just reveals your lack of understanding of everything that goes into a very successful career😊👍
@@timpackerfinearts Is this in some country like US?
Here in Finland you routinely have to pay rent for the gallery space (2k+€/month) and the gallery still takes a provision (30-50%). You do the hanging yourself, you ship your work to and from the gallery, and you have to do the promotion yourself. Then the art sale has VAT (10% or 24.5% depending on the medium), you have to pay necessary pension contributions (something like 15%) and then income tax (20%-50%).
To top it off, none of the galleries ever sell anything. Ever. You just have to do this so you can apply for grants and show them that you have solo shows.
@@adisaikkonen wow... that sounds horrible. I live in Canada. We do not pay to show in a good commercial gallery, they do the promotion and my galleries sell lots of my work. What you are talking about sounds like what we call "Vanity Galleries" her in Canada. Where anyone can show their work but they pay for the privilege.
Tim...I've been watching a lot of your videos and you keep brining this "you need a unique voice" thing up. But the problem is that there are TONS of artists in the "Western Art" category who are selling their paintings for $7,000 to $27,000 regularly. I don't think that their voice is "unique". It's all cowboys and Indians. Yet it constantly sells (at high prices) and I don't think these artists have a "unique voice". Same goes for some people painting flowers. I have seen a gal who is constantly selling peonies on Instagram. They are essentially just a still life. And 80% is that same kind of flower. So I don't see how that could be considered a unique voice.
The idea seems like one of those that seems good from afar but upon closer inspection proves to be far from good because there are so many exceptions to the rule. It seems more that the idea would be that one needs a "brand". You need to be known for "your thing". But "your thing" could be being done by other people. And almost certainly will be. You need to do "your thing" and then have it presented to the public in such a way that you SEEM to be the only one doing what you do. Because people who are looking to pay thousands of dollars for original art don't have the time or inclination to shop around for someone doing the "same thing" at lower prices.
Hi Brian, yes there are exceptions to every rule... But consider this...The one way that some artists separate themselves from the majority of artists is simply by the virtuoso skill and compositional sense that they exhibit in their paintings or by the awards or memberships that they have achieved that separate them from the pack. and yes this goes in to branding... and some times it comes down to being "picked" by someone who is an influencer in the art world who can promote your work. But how do you get picked? and in this case your career is entirely in the hands of other people. At the end of the day if you want your work to sell for the above the average price of the starving artists out there, there must be something that separates your work from those other artists... I believe that developing a process to great work with a unique voice is the surest way to do that.
Ya this is a really great interview I also agree with everything he saying
thanks for the comment :)
I like very much your paintings, I don't say it to every artist. I do sacred geometry and I am studying how to. what I see it is that many have the problem of choise the right platforms and the problem of procrastination, me too but for economical difficulties I have do it fast, for this reason I learned very much in the last weeks. I am 58 years old and I cannot sell to friends and family. I want to see all your paintings in the next days. have a nice life.

@@timpackerfinearts 😘
Hi Mr Packer, May i ask you; do you think oil paints are better to use for landscapes and realistic portraits than acrylic and craft paints?
I think either oils or acrylic are fine but by craft paints do you mean lower quality paints. If so I would not use them. Try to stick to higher quality paints. The cheaper ones don’t have the same colour intensity plus they tend to fade much more quickly 👍😊
@@timpackerfinearts Thank you.
What can artists do if they live where there are no art shows or festivals. I live in France and these things just don’t exist here. There’s also no gallery system to speak of.
No galleries in France?
@@blackvirgo09 Sad but true. The government made it easy for artists to run their own galleries, charging them at a much lower tax rate, thinking they were doing a good thing. But what it meant was that top galleries pretty much went into the more lucrative business of selling the work of famous old dead artists. I’ve been in many artist-run galleries but it’s quite difficult to find space that’s not crazy expensive. We have a group that has shows at a local presbytère that we rent for two months each summer. I’ve sold several paintings there but after cancer surgery and chemo, I simply don't have the physical energy to do it any more. And everything sort of fell apart during the Covid lock down. So I’m not sure I’ll ever be participating any more.
@@21ruevictorhugo its certainly not easy, no matter where an artist lives. I would investigate current artists who are successful in your country and find out how they got there and then model your plans after that.
@@timpackerfinearts I live in a very rural,area, so there’s very few artists to meet and I know them all. The town I,live in has a population of 165, and the 'big town' nearby has 2200 people. My large local city is Bergerac, with about 31,000. When I lived in Massachusetts the 'small' town I lived in had 30,000 people. 🤣
@@21ruevictorhugo the reality of becoming a successful artist is that you do need to get your art in front of people. That can be a challenge in your circumstances ... but there is also social media that can reach people any where in the world. In the end though all of our choices affect the probability of our success. For example... If my dream was to be a professional golfer and make it to the PGA tour but I lived in Alaska. I would have to decide which was more important to me... Living in Alaska? or becoming a professional golfer? because it would be very unlikely I could do both. You may need to ask yourself the same question. Which is more important? Remaining where you currently live? or becoming a successful artist?
Pretty old hat. I’m sure festivals are great if you make kitsch landscape paintings that’ll look good and grandma's living room wall. If you wanna go a bit more experimental though it’s going to be a lot harder. Not impossible but harder. There’s probably an online community that will appreciate your niche and if you’re lucky you can set up a little micro brand and make a living that way through patreon or something, that's what I see some animators and digital artists I like doing anyway. Still your pretty beholden to the algorithm that way which really sucks and might just decide to screw you one day if there some kind of update or something. Great advice on the copying though, I noticed my first bit of growth when I started copying comic styles that I like and I actually don't feel guilty about it anymore.
Festivals are not just for Kitsch… I have had numerous festivals where I have had sales in excess of 20k.

Its who u know, period.
Like most careers, networking plays the biggest role in separating the 6 figure artist from the herd.
No… it is the quality of the art. It doesn’t matter how many people you know… if people don’t want to buy an artists work nothing else matters. I have been the top selling artist in commercial galleries, art festivals and have a huge list of private clients. None of those people involved “knew” me before they saw my art… the art is what made them want to get to know me.
@@timpackerfinearts Basquiat would not have made it coming up through the ranks, as just one example. Im not talking about people without interesting art, just that marketing matters, & the art world is not that different than the music industry. If u r not promoted by the right people, u may never get seen or supported by those who create the intrigue. Same with art markets or the plein air circuit, there’s a lot of networking that can either elevate a talented artist or bury them below the more socially attractive players. Of course it can vary case by case, we r just speaking in larger generalities. Both of our opinions r anecdotal.
@@friedricengravy6646 I agree that some artists have achieved fame and fortune purely because of being promoted by people with influence… and many of those artist produced only moderately competent art. If an artist is only producing moderately competent art… then you are right… the only way they will be successful is if they get “picked” by the right people with influence. But if an artist consistently produces great work that the public loves then they don’t need that type of influence. My philosophy is to focus on mastering the skills and concepts and pushing one’s creativity until you are consistently creating great art. That leaves the artist in control of their destiny and not dependent on being “picked” by one person😊👍
@@timpackerfineartsquality is the prerequisite. Who you know and your network is the path to success.

Man, this hit me in the feels right now. I'm working as an illustrator and have had to put my own painting at the side. I thought I'd had time to do both but it is very hard.

This is bs. The market is not art festivals. It is Vegas, casinos, hotel chains.... They buy art that looks great for about 10 minutes then pushes the viewer away. Just like the music industry sells mostly banal repetitive hooks that push people out of coffee shops.
Wow that’s some real bitterness… but you are absolutely wrong… the vast majority of working artists start out selling their work at art festivals… if they become successful they often migrate to commercial galleries or create an online presence that allows them to deal directly with clients . I know many artists who do six figures in sales every year… None of them sell in Vegas or hotel chains. Hotels are notorious for buying cheap art that is mass produced and banal. Which is why serious artists who want to get good prices for their work should not even think of trying to sell their work there.

No… I would be making more money if I had just stayed focused on painting… and it doesn’t matter if “you” like my paintings or any other individual likes my paintings. It matters if “enough” people love my work or any other artist’s work. 👍😊
@@timpackerfinearts I agree. It is just to have enough people like your work. I personally hate artists like Rothko. He couldn't paint well or sell his early art, but he started painting squares of color. Enough people started to see and buy his art and he is now in the large museums. I don't like your paintings (looking at them on the video since I haven't seen them in real life). I am sure there is a market for them. I have seen similar art mass produced for Target and decorator stores where people buy art that matches the color of the couch and drapes. You may have had success, good for you. If you want to honestly help artists that is commendable and I wish you the best.

@@loredanalinden1958 I'll take the comparison :)
Great video, thank you.
My pleasure 😊👍
I hear you but, I can't do my art to please people. I have to paint to please me. So copying someone doesn't work for me. Or painting something that people might want as opposed to painting what I want. I know someone who was asked to paint a picture of Buckingham Palace for king Charles' coronation, it was going to be projected on to the Palace at night. This person said no, because they couldn't get excited about painting Buckingham Palace. Personally, I think in this particular case, regardless of my not getting excited about painting a Palace, I would have done it anyway, because of the promotion that it would have brought. But generally, I understand the idea clearly that you have to paint in the style that you love and enjoy, and then if others like it great, but if they don't, you can't alter what comes out of your soul just to try and make money.
That is all fine and good if you paint as a "hobby" but if you want to make it your profession and support yourself by the sale of your art... that is strategy is very unlikely to result in a successful career. The key to that is to develop the skills and find a unique voice so that you can paint work that both you and the public love👍

@@gaylamassey6637 Sorry, I disagree. While I don’t necessarily understand why the question was originally asked, true followers of Christ will stand for Him at any time when asked. A Christ follower can give a simple response, yes or no, with no need for preaching, but a clear and unafraid answer to stand for Him. If a true Christian is asked, one has an opportunity to stand for Christ whether or not the asking person “should or shouldn’t” ask the question. That statement itself is very worldly. What are you (anyone that is) afraid of by answering? That you might be seen a certain way by the world, or that it could negatively affect your acceptance, in this case, as an artist? Sales? Self concern and “protection” from non believers over love of Christ? As Christians maybe we gotta stop making excuses and standing behind “I keep my religious beliefs to myself”. It’s definitely easier on the surface, I agree, but, boiling it down… you must examine your true motives for deciding not to share your beliefs if indeed you actually believe. We have to answer to Him in the end, not viewers, not, in this case, potential art buyers who may be offended by our Christian standing. So…..Praying for strength for believers to stand for Christ even if it costs us in this upside down world.
I too am a born again Christian ( actually, there isn't any other type of Christian. You are 'born again' as soon as you make Jesus your LORD and Saviour) and as a true Christian, you never miss an opportunity to tell someone and the world that you're a Christian PERIOD.
