Commission An Artist: 'Home Is Where The Fine Art Is' (Episodes 11-15)

, , , , , , , , , , , , , Edit
This post is about 
  • my overall conclusions about Home Is Where The Art Is 
  • information together with links most the artists participating inward Episodes 11-15.
If yous desire to observe out the details of artists who participated inward the kickoff 2 weeks reckon below for the links to previous posts.

In general, the serial has been a existent teaching inward damage of the client's perspective. 
  • Overall some of the artwork during the course of instruction of the serial has been but stunning together with really professional. By agency of contrast, some of it has been distinctly amateurish.  
  • I've been amazed to observe that both domestic together with corporate clients tin genuinely similar artwork which fails (from my perspective) to demonstrate whatever existent science or talent.  My sentiment - together with I'm entitled to it - is that what is considered to hold upward character fine art varies depending on your sense of looking at fine art together with your perspective (likes together with dislikes)
  • I'm wondering how many other people are similar me together with ended up, over the serial equally a whole, quite bemused past times some of the choices of both artists together with artwork. 
  • Notwithstanding commissions are e'er most personal selection together with at that spot is no correct or incorrect if it makes the customer happy.
The procedure of looking for the links has likewise clearly demonstrated how vital marketing together with social media is for selling fine art together with commissions
  • the extent to which some artists neglect to blueprint websites amongst committee clients inward mind
  • why some people tin brand an income from commissions. This seems to correlate strongly amongst beingness organised and/or improve at marketing and/or social media and/or getting the artwork out together with shown wherever - including on BBC1!
I likewise discovered a few things inward the concluding calendar week of Home Is Where The Art Is
  • One enterprising creative mortal who participated inward the programme has laid upward a Home Is Where The Art Is Facebook Page to promote the operate of those participating. However that's going to hold upward a lot of aid to those artists who participated without a website or Facebook Page. One wonders who people are intended to contact them....
  • Next - some of the artists produced operate for the commissions based on other operate they had done previously. Now this is quite a mutual approach used past times some artists - together with ane which is oftentimes used for clients who bring a tight budget. However I'd hesitate earlier calling it "bespoke" unless it was unique inward every honour together with solely available to that client. Of course of instruction it's quite dissimilar if the customer requests "one similar that but tailored to our preferences for colours / things which are of import to us".

Finally - another individuals bring likewise documented the details. But my posts rest the most comprehensive! :) 
  • below are website together with social media links for the artists who participated inward Episodes 11-15 inward calendar week 3
  • contact details are embedded inward the artist's name
