There was a time when a few wealthy patrons used to support their pet artists so that the artist could focus full time on his painting and didn’t need to do anything else for his living. But now the times have changed and there are more artworks than the collectors who are ready to buy them.

There is money in the art world if you pursue and keep your eyes fixed on your financial goals. It is important to maintain your integrity at the same time as an artist while you are selling your art because it is not the same as selling regular commercial goods. In order to earn respect in the art world you need not to show yourself as if you are selling your artwork as a commercial commodity and purely for money. Your financial problems could be temporary but your journey as an artist goes a long way. In order to maintain standards you should focus on your professionalism and creativity. You should create artworks that express your passionate side, technique, uniqueness of idea, perception and vision.
