The Big Misconception About Making Portraits

Do you struggle with the idea that the only way to be successful at selling portrait art is through commissions only?

Why would someone want to buy a painting of someone they don’t even know?

Hi, my name is Carrie Brummer and here on Artist Strong I help creatives like you build your skill and develop your unique artist voice. Today I want to talk about painting, sharing, exhibiting and selling portrait art.

I’ve stopped counting the number of times I’ve heard a creative person share the belief that people won’t buy portraits of people they don’t know.

I don’t know where this idea comes from, but it's prevalent and it's stopping people from making art they want to create.

If you enjoyed today’s video, please subscribe to my channel and stay up to date with all of Artist Strong’s free content.

Now it's your turn: have you thought you couldn’t focus on portraits even though that’s the genre you prefer? Tell me more in the comments below.
