Your group.
Quality, value and honesty are the new social truths, if these values are found in you and your work and you persist for a period of time, people will trust you and talk about you and buy your Art from you, but it will take time and patience.
People need to be talking about you, so put your Art out there so that they can talk about it, story tell your Art, there is a story behind every painting and you need to tell it. Saying my painting speaks for itself is just an excuse for not facing the fear,
“What if people don't like what I say?”
“What if they laugh at what I say?”
“What if I am criticized for what I say?”
Face the fear, confront it and story tell your Art.
Most buyers want to know the Big Story behind a painting because then they can tell themselves a story as to why they want to buy the painting.
Everybody is telling themselves a story.

Write a studio blog once a week at least.
Every Artist should have a blog talking about their Art, their Art practice, their dreams and ideas, people want to connect with you the Artist and try and understand the Artist life. It might be boring to you but to others it is a very romantic life, that's the story they are telling themselves, so build on it to connect with them and tell your story to them.
Start to do short videos of your Art practice, show and talk about your paintings, this is what people are interested in, they want to know you the Artist and your work. Be patient, be consistent and you will build up a following over time and yes people would be interested in your Art and be prepared to watch your video.
If you story tell your paintings, write a weekly blog and do a very regular video you will connect with people in time.
So few Artists do this, so this not a crowded space.
You will not connect to everyone but you will connect to people who like you and your work and they will follow you.
You don't want everyone, you want those who connect to you, your group.
