Welcome back to another BobBlast!
This short video lesson shows what I do with my 6” x 9” small paper paintings… my warmups and practice pieces. I sell them at art fairs, in galleries and museum gift shops and also online. But how?
I don’t frame them. I (and you) and not in the framing business. I want to make a professional presentation without the added cost of a frame..
I mat and bag each one Ready to go in the bins of a festival, open studio, gallery or museum shop. This is what you need…
•First of all, standardize your paper sizes.
•Secondly, make a “mock up” paper mat, according to available, standard frame sizes, which is easier for your customer.
•Third point to remember after you have painted those standard universalsized paintings… when finished, you’re ready to package and present them in a mat, a back board and a crystal clear bag. Ready to go!
•And the final point before the painting flies out the door photograph the painting and put it in inventory. Once it’s gone, you’re not going to get another chance!
Cha Ching!
