Description

There are a few aspects of commissions we discuss this week on the Self Taught Artist podcast:

Why commissions are so hard
As an artist or painter, when is the right time to start accepting commissions?
How to choose when to say yes or no to a commission opportunity
How to reduce pressure when you're doing a commission
How to price commissions and how I price my artwork

For any artist or painter who is considering taking on commissions, this podcast is for you! I've started taking commissions very recently and this week I'm talking about some of my considerations and the challenges I've gone through. I tell the story of the big commission I'm working on right now, how it came to be, and how it's going.

What do Vincent Van Gogh, Frida Kahlo, and I have in common? We're all self taught artists. I stumbled around in the dark as I started my artistic journey... I didn't know what paints to buy, how to varnish my work, or the differences between painting mediums. The mission of the Self Taught Artist podcast is to help artists (and aspiring artists) learn and fully discover the joy of making art. We will cover everything from the basics of painting, to how to sell your work, and beyond.
