People have been asking about buying prints and I thought this would be a super easy way to sell some of my art without having to wait for someone who would want to spend the money on the original... (although The Little Blue Bird painting has already been sold, for $200 :) ) This has turned into a much more difficult endeavor than I originally thought it would be. Every time I get the proof back, it just doesn't look right. It's either washed out, too bright, the colors are off or you can see the brush strokes that I have worked so hard to blend. I get all flustered at the printers, though, and with my anxiety I just panic and my brain goes blurry for a few moments, where I blurt out "It looks great!" and then go yell in the car, and over analyze what I will say the next time I have to go in and talk with them. So, if anyone has any advice about getting prints made of your work while not spending a grip of money please pass that on to me!
I think I am ready to get back to drawing and getting some more pieces done for the show next summer. I am thinking about doing one more painting, but it will be nice to take a break from the watercolors for just a bit and work on something different... back to skulls!!
It's so typical of printers. Every thing looks fantastic! Look into the card thing. (See Facebook.) Keep the investment low and the amount you print lower. You don't want to end up with a bunch of extras.
