This is very true. I picked up some art collectors during my Masters course in London. They are so specific on what they want, and they might even visit your studio to discuss a commission or purchase work. Or they might not want to meet you at all, lol! I've had couples buy art, students, dentists, tutors, and designers. (Btw, oil on canvas, quite different from what my KZfaq channel shows. More for fun!). Once a collector came to my studio to purchase a painting and I had a pile of A4 papers with rough ideas using acrylic. She looked through them and offered £100 for one! So you never know what will happen. It's good to build a friendship with them. But be warned, some collectors can get possessive and controlling. So keep it professional, have your boundaries, and have other collectors on rotation 👍

Your videos are really helpful. I'm totally binge watching them tonight. Like many people & artists, I'm quite clueless when it comes to selling my original art. Sometimes I feel like there is almost a taboo surrounding the topic of selling art. I started to get some commissions and people are inquiring about my paintings so I'm trying to figure it out but there is so much to learn it can feel quite overwhelming. Connecting with art collectors or finding them is something I have never ever thought of. I suppose that shows how 'green' I am in the art world, but I know I think there are a lot of us like that. Probably even professional artist can be a bit clueless when it comes to some of these things. Art is a confusing world in terms of business, there are many myths around it and I'm sure both buyers and artists have issues navigating all of it.
