She’s just trying to show you all how to thrive financially, and what people want. I Think it’s very generous. Also just what people want to look at, what is relatable, and what works in their homes. I’m saying a big Thank You! If your not worried about putting food on your table you’re creativity can fly!

As an art consultant selling 1000s of artworks to hotels, healthcare and corporate clients, I wish for artists to take your course. Elli, you really have invaluable information that is so inline with what I am looking for when I am curating. Uplifting, slightly abstracted, positive color, excellent skill, and a body of work . That is what I buy. Thank you for stepping out honestly. Many artist will stick their noses up. But, the secret is, listen to what you profess, AND do a different, avant garde line for galleries. It is called "silo" approach. Great job Elli, and thank you for sharing your knowledge. I have purchased Milan art. You get it.

She is not just educating artists on what sells, but rather what appeals to people in a fundamental and functional way. In other words, she explains why most people are attracted to a certain image or color combination but not others. Thank you very much for that!

I left art school in 1969. We had absolutely no training on how to market yourself to be a successful artist. I wish your mastery class was available back then, I probably would have had a great career. At 73 I'm starting to paint again and want to do it right this time. Thanks so much for this video!

I don’t understand some comments here criticizing what she’s trying to educate us about her experience, exposure and learnings. It’s her personal experience and work. Can you actually invalidate it?

I’m learning and grateful for it because aside from I love arts I really want to create arts that SELLS.

I'm a year late, but just wanted to say thank you so much for this video. Ive been off and on a hobby artist since highschool, but I've never believed I could be anything more. I love the craft with everything I have. I follow so many artists and gush over their skill and beauty everytime I see them. It never felt obtainable to me. I thought it would take me decades to learn to draw or paint at a level that would interest someone else other than myself, so I never tried. Now at 28 I watch this video and when you show me that anyone, including me, could find their way and be a professional, I can't stop the tears. Bless you, Elli. I will chase those dreams once again.

When I wanted to go to art school my mom said; "you can't make a living out of making clay pots". Almost 40 years ago I started to paint painting that would sell. I could hardly keep up with the demand. I found myself thinking more about what people wanted than what I wanted to paint/create and it got really stress full. I packed my stuff up and stopped painting. Some year later when I got my son, I started doing digital painting but that also ended the same way; I was to focused on what would sell. When my son moved away from home I started to paint again and this time I do not (by choice) sell my paintings. I have now been painting again for 12 years and love and enjoy it more than I have ever done. It is now mixed media collage

The real money in art (for the majority) is in teaching, which is why this video exists.

[maeveofthelongbows]

You gave an excellent informative lesson about marketing one’s artwork, especially the part about making yourself a “brand.” I was a Commercial and Advertising artist for a good number of years. Two examples of successful fine artists who completely understood this, were Andy Warhol and Keith Haring. Both of them accidentally became “the up and coming trending artist”, but because they both were TRAINED as Commercial Artists (Carnegie Mellon Univ. and Kutztown Univ. of Pennsylvania), they absolutely knew how to market their brand (themselves) to take advantage of the notoriety of their initial successes.

[norarae]

Not everyone has the time or drive to appreciate fine art.
Therefore, your advise is absolutely on point.
As a fine artist myself, I know fine art is not for everyone, but decorating a room is.

[EdiChiArt]

Informative video. You helped me realize that I don't sell my art because I can't accept parameters in creativity. Being a commercial artist is not for everyone.

[warthogA]

There is commercial/business art, and residential art.
And then there's collector art.
This is how I view it.

I also went to SCAD and then transferred! And I agree - art school basically taught me that I could become an art professor and not actually make a living selling work! We have a similar story! I’ve been licensing my work for 15 years as a surface design artist and I’m glad to have found these amazing refreshers to keep me going! (I so wish I had the skill to teach like you do! I’ve been following for years, and had no idea you had a YouTube channel until today! ❤)

[littlepacificstudios]

I think this person is a total genius! I am most definitely going to watch her classes!

[timeenoughforart]

Nothing wrong with decorative art. As a cabinet maker and a painter I appreciate good craftsmanship. Sometimes we can even come close to creating real art.

[allanna]

I have a very dear friend who is a gifted artist, but has never consistently made money from her work. I have a feeling you may provide the golden key, thank you! Shared with joy!

Million’s are not enough to buy this info. 🙏

[kaylablock]

I don’t understand all the haters. You have expertise in making art that sells and are generously sharing. You’re not saying anyone has to do their art this way. You’re not saying uplifting art is better than art showing pain. You’re talking about what sells in a particular market and somehow that’s making lots of people big mad. I appreciate you sharing so much rightfully gained expertise here. Thank you! P.s. I have seen ONE hotel that had artwork that goes against what you’re recommending. Just one, in a whole lot of years.

[MrSpar]

I'm absolutely captivated by your video, which serves as a profound reminder of the transformative power of art. Your message resonates deeply

[DonovanManny]

You are inspirational. You actually make me believe I could do this. I have a degree in art and have been told everything you have. I am certainly interested. I have wasted so much time not making art and have settled on jobs just to pay the bills. Now I wonder if I'm too old to begin this endeavor. Fear is such a beast. Thank you again!!
