How to Decorate Your Home with Abstract Canvas Art

December 24th, 2009

Do you want to decorate your home with abstract canvas art?  Whilst your choice is indeed excellent, you should know that there is more to decorating your home with abstract canvas art than just buying a piece of abstract art on canvas from a gallery.  You have to make sure that your piece of art fits snugly in the room you are going to put it in.

There are a few guidelines that you should bear in mind when you decorate your home with abstract canvas art.  These guidelines will ensure that you will be showcasing your art in the way it is meant to be showcased.  Moreover, you will be creating a room that is beautiful to look at and pleasant to stay in.

Before You Buy Abstract Canvas Art

The first step that you should take when decorating with abstract art is to take into consideration the room itself.  If you are still in the process of decorating your house, you should finish decorating first.  Get your walls painted, your floors carpeted or covered with rugs and your furniture in place before you consider wall art.

The reason why you should finish decorating first before you buy abstract canvas art is because your art pieces should serve as finishing touches to the room.  You would need to know what the room would look like beforehand so you would be able to get the appropriate art pieces.

What would be the appropriate art pieces for your room?  It depends on which furniture pieces and other artworks will be displayed along with your abstract painting.  The painting should not be larger than the furniture piece itself and should somehow create a unified look when grouped with these furniture pieces and other decorative objects you will be putting with it.

Another guideline that will help you is to hang your abstract canvas art on the focal wall of the room.  The focal wall is the wall that faces the entryway of the room.  In this way, anyone entering the room will be instantly drawn to the painting.  It is the best way to showcase any painting, whether it is an expensive original artwork or a cheap reproduction.

Hanging Your Abstract Canvas Art

Let us say that you have already bought the abstract canvas art that you believe is right for your room.  How are you supposed to hang and display it?  As mentioned above, the painting you have selected should help create a unified look with the rest of the furnishings in the room.  Second, you have to hang it somewhere where it can be seen easily, such as the focal wall of the room.

A third thing you need to remember is that you should not leave a lot of space between the painting and the furniture near it.  Putting them close together will add to the unified look that you are trying to achieve.

Another guideline that will be helpful to you is to imagine an imaginary rectangle when you are hanging your abstract canvas art and confine your pictures within this imaginary rectangle.  This is especially helpful if you have a number of small abstract canvas art pieces that you are grouping together.  In this way, your wall display will appear neat, clean and pretty instead of cluttered.

Sell Your Art Online – Why You Should Consider It

December 15th, 2009

Being an artist myself, I know how hard it can be to sell your art in the real world that is one reason you might what to try to sell your art online. A few years ago I decided to start selling my art online and I’m glad I did. Now, I’m not getting rich doing this, but I have made more sells online than I ever did in the real world. Plus I don’t have schlep my artwork from place to place. Lets just take a look at some reasons you should consider selling your art online. Convenience In the real world you have to sale your art in galleries, art festivals, fairs, libraries or any place that will allow you to place your art and sell it. Now consider you have to pack up your artwork and carry it to these places and in some of cases hung the work yourself. Also consider that the pieces that don’t sale you have to take them down, pack them up and carry them back to your home or studio However, when you sell your art online you just put up some photos of your artwork on a website with some information on the size, medium and price and depending on where you put it you may be able to keep your artwork there indefinitely. Even if the artwork doesn’t sale on a site where it has to be removed, all you have to remove is a photo and some information. No packing and no carrying bulky paintings back and forth. You Have Total Control By selling your art online you take over total control of your art career. No more middlemen telling you how much to price your art for and then taking a cut of your money when the art sells. Galleries will take anywhere from a 40 to 50% cut of your art sales. Art Festivals will charge any where from $200 to $500 fees just to be in the festival and demand that you have a certain amount of inventory, which you have to pay for. If you don’t sell anything at the festival you are just out all of that money. If you sell your art online you can decide when where and how long you have your art up on a website and although there are some sites that may charge you to have your art on them, most of the places are free and the ones that do charge it’s usually a very small amount. Also most places where you can sell your art online will let you set your own price and won’t charge you a commission. So you can keep 100% of your art sells. Also on most places that allow you to put art on their sites, you can put up as many or as little as you want. A Worldwide Customer Base When selling your art in the real world your art sales are usually limited to the place where your art is at the moment. If you are exhibiting at a gallery your art sales are limited to that gallery and the people that come into that gallery. If your art is being shown at a fair your art sales are limited to the people that see your art at that fair. I think you get the picture. For the must part in the real world your art sales is going to be limited to local or regional sales. On the Internet you have a worldwide audience to market your art to. Because of selling my art online I now have my artwork in Japan, France, Great Britain, Canada and other places that I would not have been able to reach in the real world. It doesn’t matter where you are in the world you will be able to reach people from different countries. An artist in Italy can sell a piece of art to a buyer Russia or an artist in India can sell a painting to a buyer in the United States. Your online presence is your art gallery to the world. I’m not saying not to sell your art in the real world, but as you can see by opting to sell your art online you have more control and a wider buyer reach. However there’s no reason you can’t do both.
