Your loyal group of followers.

You only have to be true to your Muse and follow it diligently, determined to paint your own original Art work, producing work that is yours and defines you.

You do not paint for the critics and the unappreciative crowd, you paint for those people who love your work.

These are your true followers and once you past the tipping point of followers then your career will be established.

Be patient as you will need to build this base of followers through, exhibitions, competitions, Art fairs, markets and personally getting out and getting well known in your particular Art community.

Also you will need to develop consistent social media promotion, through videos, blogs and Artist groups, another area of promotion will be getting you and your Art into local newspapers, all this depends on you getting out and getting known.

The day of the “Gatekeepers” is gone, as Galleries and dealers have less and less influence so the Artist must be the one to promote their own career and build their group of followers.

It is this loyal group of followers who will make your Art career successful, every stranger you meet is important to your career, you are always marketing you.
