It's time to share with us a painting you've sold. {This one's quite long, so if you're not up for this feel free to skip it!}
Maybe it's the first one you ever sold; maybe you've been selling your work for years and have heaps to choose from.
Maybe it's your most recent sale.
Haven't sold a painting yet? Then your challenge - if you choose to accept it 😉 - is to offer one for sale! You can totally blame me for 'making' you.😁
It's very easy {and very difficult!}. Here's a simple approach lots of artists take:
Share a good crisp photo of it taken in daylight, as close to the real colours as you can. You could crop it close so we can only see the painting, or style it in a little vignette, or have it hanging on the wall, or as a flat lay.
Then in the caption on your post, share the title, medium, size, price {this is optional}, and how to buy it.
Consider sharing a little story with it too, for connection. Ideally you'd put this first, to draw us in, and give us the technical/logistical details at the end.
Don't forget a call to action! {CTA} Something simple like - ‘DM me to purchase’, or ‘Click the link in my bio to see more details and make it yours.’
Think about what's going to work best for you, with your personality and language style.
