Many artists graduate from formal art programs adept in color theory, brush techniques, and composition—but don’t know the first thing about business.

\n

How can artists sell art and paintings online? How will they market themselves? Making a living as a career artist means understanding how to build an audience, how to price art products, and the unique requirements for shipping art. It means thinking like an entrepreneur.

\n

Before ecommerce platforms, artists relied on third party gallerists, agents, and retailers to distribute work. The creator tools and sales channels of today were nonexistent. Now, independent artists can own their distribution streams, creating and selling their art online—and on their own terms.

\n

For gallerists and curators, the shift in how we buy and sell in the past two decades has allowed these businesses to represent more artists and expand into selling affordable art prints online to reach larger audiences worldwide.

Meet the artist experts

We consulted successful artists, curators, and gallerists for their advice on everything you need to know to sell your art online. In this guide to selling your own artwork, their anecdotes will be woven into practical and actionable advice for any creative entrepreneur. Let’s meet our experts.

Cat Seto, owner and artist, Ferme à Papier

\n

\"Cat

\n

Cat Seto is an artist and author, and founder of Ferme à Papier, a San Francisco–based boutique representing unique goods from independent designers. Her stationery has appeared in multiple publications and landed her partnerships with brands like Anthropologie and Gap.

\n

Best known by her artist moniker Hatecopy, Maria Qamar quit her advertising career to focus on art when her pop art paintings began to catch fire on Instagram. Now she works full time on her art, selling her own paintings in multiple formats, from art prints to books to printed merch.

\n

Ken Harman is the man behind the art empire that includes Spoke Art, Hashimoto Contemporary, and publishing company Paragon Books. Together, these businesses represent many global artists through physical galleries, online shops, and pop-up exhibitions.

\n

What’s right for you: selling your own art or selling works by other artists?

\n

There are two ways to sell art online: create or curate. Cat built her career on both by creating and selling her own work and representing the work of others in her boutique. Which one is right for you?

\n

Create and sell your own art

\n

\n

As an artist, you are the creator, producing original art and/or reproductions of originals and selling directly to your customers or indirectly through a gallery, retail partner, or agent.

\n

It’s never been easier for artists to sell directly, with emerging creator tools popping up seemingly every day. Depending on your style and medium, choose a sales channel where your desired audience hangs out. This is arguably the easiest way to sell art online for many.

\n

Maria runs her own online shop, where she sells art prints and merchandise, eliminating the middleman and keeping her costs low. But she also leans on relationships with experienced galleries for exhibiting and selling original artwork.

\n

If you’re learning how to sell your art, note that galleries can expose your work to new audiences. They may also have access to resources and professionals to help promote, exhibit, handle, and ship artwork.

\n

\n

Curate the works of other artists

\n

\"Spoke

\n
Galleries can expose your work to new audiences and expand your reach. Spoke Art
\n

If you’re not personally an artist but you have a great eye and a love of the art world, you can still get into the game of selling art as a curator. Some artists may be disinterested in marketing or figuring out the best way to sell art online and instead rely on gallerists, curators, and retail partners to handle this aspect of the business. As a partner to artists, you make a percentage of the selling price in exchange for your business knowledge and service.

\n

There are several ways to work with artists to sell their art online—be it selling originals or prints to licensing works to be printed on merchandise or used in publication. “Most galleries offer an industry standard 50% consignment split for original art,” says Ken. “The artist provides the artwork, we do our best to sell it.”

\n

\n

What to sell: original art versus reproductions

\n

The best way to sell your art online will depend on the nature of your art and your chosen medium. You may choose to sell your art, reproductions of that work, or both.

\n

Fine artists using classic mediums and selling at high price points may choose to only sell originals, for example, while digital art, which can be reproduced without loss of quality, is great for prints and merch. However, most art created in 2D mediums have multiple options for generating unlimited sales on a single work.

\n

Consider the following formats:

\n\n

\n
Stationery and greeting cards are just some of the products you can sell featuring your art. Ferme à Papier
\n

Some mediums, like sculpture, are more difficult to reproduce or use for merchandise applications. But for those impossible to scan and print, there are still ways to generate additional income from a single design. For example, clay works may use the same mold to generate similar pieces, and 3D designs can be created over and over with a 3D printer.

\n

\n

Reproductions of art: open edition versus limited edition

\n

\"Hatecopy

\n
Hatecopy art adorns merch, apparel, and other goods on Maria’s own website. Hatecopy
\n

Reproducing art on t-shirts or mugs, or as art prints means that a single work can bear fruit indefinitely—or for a limited time. There are two ways to approach selling your art as prints: open edition or limited edition.

\n

What is open edition?

\n

Open edition means printing and selling an unlimited number of products (reproductions or prints of an original work).

\n

Benefits

\n\n

Downsides

\n\n

What is limited edition?

\n

Limited edition means printing only a certain number of prints before they are gone. These are often numbered and signed by the artist to add value and authenticity.

Downsides

\n
This print by Mike Davis has a limited run of 50 prints available on Spoke’s website, each of which is signed and numbered by the artist. Spoke Art
\n

Spoke often opts for the limited edition strategy. “We work really hard to find things that are very special to sell. Things that are special should be treated like they’re special,” Ken says.

\n

To help minimize reselling, Spoke will limit quantities of certain prints per customer. “Making sure that the real fans are actually the ones who are able to get the things that we sell is always a priority,” Ken says.

\n

\n

Printing art and choosing printers

\n

\"An

\n
Choosing the right printing materials, technology, or partner for your art is an important step in the process. Ferme à Papier
\n

Understanding how to sell your prints of your artwork comes down to getting very friendly with a printer, whether that’s your at-home inkjet or a company that handles the task for you. There are multiple options, from DIY to completely hands off, to help you sell art prints and other merchandise to your audience.

\n

DIY printing

\n

It’s possible to start selling your own artwork by creating quality prints yourself with high-quality paper, ink, and an at-home office printer. As a new artist, this method can keep costs low, but may be unsustainable as you scale over time.

\n

“In the beginning, I would print, package, and deliver by hand every single poster that was ordered,” says Maria. “At some point the volume became so much that I couldn’t make time to draw. I was spending all of my days delivering and in transit.”

\n

This method is usually limited to selling art prints on paper, but some specialty home printers may allow you to print on canvas paper or fabric designed specifically for this purpose.

\n

Using a printing company

\n

A local or online printing company can reproduce your work en masse and can even offer bulk discounts if you are printing many of the same piece. This can be the best way to sell art online if you have a small catalog and high sales volume of those pieces.

\n

With this method, you’ll still be responsible for packaging and shipping the prints you sell online. These companies can often produce high-quality prints due to more advanced printers.

\n

It’s important that we are the last sets of eyes inspecting, packaging, and shipping the product to our customers.

\n

Cat Seto, Ferme à Papier

\n

Cat often prints large batches for collection releases. While she does use print-on-demand services, the prints arrive at her studio first, rather than shipping directly to the customer. “It’s important that we are the last sets of eyes inspecting, packaging, and shipping the product to our customers,” she says.

\n

\n
Working with a trusted printer and requesting samples can ensure that your work is reproduced in a way that respects the original. Hatecopy
\n

Print on demand

\n

Print on demand is the most hands-off and versatile option and the easiest way to sell art online—especially if you plan to sell your work printed on merch like t-shirts or caps.

\n

Print-on-demand services generally integrate with your online store. When an order is placed, the integration triggers that piece to be printed and shipped directly to the customer. This is a great option for selling art on a budget, as there is no need to invest in equipment or inventory.

\n

When the number of orders exceeded her capacity to print and ship work herself, Maria upgraded to using a print-on-demand company. “All I have to do is upload and let it do the work for me,” she says. “Now I can focus on actually creating the artwork and connecting with people.”

\n

Print-on-demand products don’t just stop at paper prints. Your art can be printed on a number of items from phone cases to stickers to sell.

\n

💡 Tip: Before you start selling your own artwork this way, request samples from the printer so you can inspect the colors and quality of the print. This is especially important if printed items will be sent directly to your customers.

\n

\n

Photographing and scanning art

\n

\"A

\n

\n

Photographing and representing your products clearly and accurately is important for any online small business. Without the ability to feel a product, potential customers need to get the best sense of what they’re buying through clear and detailed images.

\n

If you have a bad image of your work or the image doesn’t represent the work accurately, you’re going to have a harder time selling it.

\n

Ken Harman, Spoke Art

\n

Selling art online is no exception. “If you have a bad image of your work or the image doesn’t represent the work accurately, you’re going to have a harder time selling it,” says Ken. Or, you’ll be stuck dealing with unhappy customers and processing returns.

\n

Photographing art to sell

\n

Product photography for art is a little trickier than other products, and a basic light setup may still cause glare or color irregularities. Consider hiring a professional to shoot larger works or art with any three-dimensional or glossy elements.

Building your brand as an artist

\n

As an artist learning how to sell your artwork, your brand may evolve as a natural extension of your art. Your chosen style and medium will define you as an artist and you will naturally attract fans and buyers based on this alone. However, there are many decisions you will need to consciously make when you start to think of yourself as a business as well as an artist.

\n

Because art is a personal and sometimes emotional purchase, your brand story as an artist could factor into someone’s decision to buy. And other business assets like packaging and site design should mirror or complement the visual aesthetic of the work itself.

\n

Your branding exercise should answer the following:

\n\n

The answer to these questions will help you build a set of brand guidelines that will form the foundation for website design, marketing materials, etc. If you eventually scale your business, these guidelines will help you maintain brand consistency as you delegate tasks to staff or other partners.

\n

Many artists build fan bases based on their online personas or personal brands that are closely tied to their art. Tatiana Cardona, also known as Female Alchemy, has chosen to put her face at the center of her social media strategy:

For Cat, the causes closest to her heart are central to her brand. While she recently refocused to work on AAPI themes, this isn’t the first time she’s made a statement with her work. Ferme à Papier launched a Saving Faces collection highlighting the stories of women and underrepresented groups.

Setting retail prices for your art

\n
When setting retail price for art, consider more subjective aspects like value, demand, and popularity of the art or artist. Ferme à Papier
\n

How do you sell art online—and actually make money doing it? Making a living as a working artist is possible if you know how to value and price your work. Pricing art is challenging because it doesn’t necessarily fit neatly into typical pricing strategies.

\n

Pricing original art

\n

Running any business that will be sustainable in the long term involves being profitable at some point. To achieve this, you will need to price your art accordingly. If you’re just beginning to experiment with how to sell your art and don’t have a widely known name, you can start with a simple formula to price your original art:

\n

Your cost to sell and market the piece + material costs + other expenses + your markup (profit) = retail price

\n

For this method, it’s helpful to factor in the time you spent creating the art. It is typical for artists to undervalue their time and work, especially at the beginning.

\n

Knowing what your products stand for and what you aren’t willing to compromise are key components in driving decisions about pricing.

\n

Cat Seto, Ferme à Papier

\n

Where the formula above fails is that the value of art is subjective and not necessarily dependent on concrete details like material cost or labor hours. Famous artists can fetch exponentially more for a piece that has roughly the same creation costs as that of a new artist. Check the market to compare your pricing to similar artists at similar levels and adjust accordingly.

\n

💡 Tip: If you are selling through a physical or online gallery, the gallery will usually take half of the final selling price. You can usually work with gallerists, who are experts at valuing and pricing art, to set a price that makes sense for you, the gallery, and the market.

\n

Pricing art prints

\n

Selling art prints or other types of reproduction can follow a more simple pricing formula:

\n

The cost of printing + your cost to sell and market the print + other expenses + your markup (profit) = retail price

\n

Your markup may be on a scale depending on whether you sell open- or limited-edition prints. Other expenses may include office supplies, software or app fees, professional services, studio rent, and more.

\n

“Knowing what your products stand for and what you aren’t willing to compromise are key components in driving decisions about pricing,” says Cat. For her, printing on sustainable paper was a must-have, even though it would drive up material costs and ultimately the retail price. Communicating these decisions to the customer is important, especially if your prices are higher than average.

\n

Where to sell art online: Your own ecommerce store

\n

\n

The best way to sell your art online is through your own ecommerce store. First, take a few minutes to create your store. At this point, you can set it up as a trial and tinker with it for two weeks before committing. You’ve already done a lot of the work if you’ve established brand guidelines, pricing, and business model (originals, prints, or merch)—this part is simply assembly.

Shopify Updates 01/20/2025 – 01/27/2025

\n

Collective retailers can show multiple shipping rates and transit times at checkout.
\nRetailers can now display multiple shipping rates with estimated shipping dates at checkout. By default, you can automatically retrieve all rates provided by vendors, or customize the number of rates and their descriptions according to the store’s general policy.

\n

File picker is now available on the variant detail page in admin.
\nShopify has added a unified file picker to select images on the variant detail page in admin, allowing merchants to access all images in their store when managing product variants.

\n

Flow: New actions for working with metaobjects.
\nFlow has more tools for working with metaobjects in workflows. In addition to the recent Metaobject entry created trigger Flow now offers the Get metaobject entries and “Get metaobject entry” actions. These actions make it easier to store data in metaobjects and retrieve them for use in workflows. For example, a metaobject can be used to manage a fraud denial list, which is then queried from Flow and used for the next steps sending internal email alerts or canceling orders. The Get metaobject entries action retrieves the list of entries for a metaobject from your store. In addition to the usual query fields, such as display name or update date, metaobjects can be queried by value. The Get metaobject entries action retrieves one record per handle.

\n

A new AI service for “parsing” music tracks.

\n

The Mikrotakt neural engine can split any track into vocals, instrumentals, bass, drums, and other audio tracks.

\n

In addition, you can upscale vocal tracks to clean up the voice and adjust the pitch. This feature is ideal for musicians and content makers.

\n

The new Chinese model DeepSeek-V3 becomes a competitor to ChatGPT:

\n

 – registration requires only your email and password

\n

 – the neural is quite fast: answers are generated in seconds

\n

 – Thinking mode, where AI turns into an academic on any topic

\n

 – the model can read diagrams and generate any texts

\n

 – files of different sizes can be uploaded

\n

 – the neuron is good at working with code

\n

 – absolutely free

\n

Hailuo AI from China can clone any voice without censorship in a few seconds. Its library includes more than 300 voices in different languages and intonations. The model also allows for full customization: you can change the tone, speed, and timbre and add sound effects.

\n

The Chinese have released a worthy competitor to ChatGPT.

\n

The Qwen2.5-Plus chatbot provides accurate answers, can read documents and images, and is completely free of charge.

\n

Krea allows rotating models in its “Photoshop”

\n

Krea developers have come up with an incredible feature for their neuro-Photoshop: you can drop any object and edit its position in 3D space.

\n

The Upscayl neuron has received a 16x upscale, so now it can save even the most hopeless photos. The download is free.

\n

The Wegic neural network has become even cooler.

\n

Now websites are generated in seconds, and all your edits can be made with simple queries.

\n

You just throw in a promo and you have a perfectly(?) designed website.

\n

A working AI meme generator.

\n

The Brainrot neuron follows trends, selects relevant images, and produces memes that are even funny to read. And all this is free.

\n

Google has released a top free guide to AI agents.

\n

It contains everything: basic knowledge, tools, architecture, training methods, and a step-by-step recipe for creating agents on LangChain and LangGraph.

\n

It is a cool service for learning languages with an AI interlocutor.

\n

The Lingocat neuron imitates the native speaker, gives feedback, and has tasks to improve skills. And all this is free of charge.

\n

The free neural from the Chinese outperforms(?) ChatGPT.

\n

A new model called R1 has been released that outperforms the best version of ChatGPT. R1 is twice as powerful as the previous version and it has literally everything you need: programming, math, rewriting, and everything else. It’s worth noting that if you look at the graph of how it “outperforms”, it doesn’t encourage you to switch from OpenAI to the Chinese neural.

\n

Universal AI photo editor.

\n

Generating, replacing, or deleting details, styling, changing the background, and upscaling – and this is not the whole list of functions of the new and free Dzine neural.

\n

Prompt generator for ChatGPT

\n

PromptEngine works according to the official recommendations of OpenAI. The service also supports other language models: Claude, Gemini, LLama, and Mistral, which can be selected from a list.

\n

OpenAI President showed a feature for the o1 model.

\n

According to Greg Brockman, the o1 model works a bit differently than other types of AI, and to achieve high performance, you need to follow a certain plan in writing promos:

\n

 the goal, response format, warning, and context.

\n

(The Anatomy of an o1 Prompt attached an example image)

\n

ChatGPT can now write first.

\n

The neuron will remind you of important things like a real assistant. For example, in the morning, it can provide a ready-made excuse for being late for work, and in the evening, a convincing explanation for a deadline shift.

\n

So far, only 10 regular tasks are available, but by the end of the week, all paid users will receive the new feature.

\n

OpenAI offers free tokens for ChatGPT.

\n

However, there is a caveat: in exchange, they ask for permission to use your promos to train models.

\n

The offer lasts until the end of February. Pro users can get up to 1 million tokens per day, and mini-version users can get up to 10 million!

\n

Trump has canceled Biden’s decree on control over AI development.

\n

The document, signed in 2023, required developers to share test results with the government to reduce risks. However, Republicans insisted that this restricted freedom of speech and hindered progress. Now, AI development is unrestricted again.

\n

China will organize a competition between robots and humans

\n

In April, China will host the world’s first half marathon where people will compete with robots. The race will involve 12,000 runners and dozens of androids. Technology versus biology is a real race of the era.

\n

AI tokens soar after the Stargate project announcement.

\n

On January 23, Trump announced a $500 billion investment from the private sector in the development of AI infrastructure in the United States. As part of this project, OpenAI, SoftBank, and Oracle will create a joint venture called Stargate. Immediately after this announcement, the AI and big data token market showed significant growth:

\n

 – AI16Z and AI Rig Complex (ARC) grew by 30% per day

\n

 – GRIFFAIN and ZEREBRO tokens doubled in price

\n

 – MetamonkeyAi (MMAI) showed an increase of 152.25%

\n

– FLock.io (FLOCK) – by 57%

\n

The smartest o3-mini model will be free!

\n

Sam Altman said that this neural will be able to solve complex problems in programming, math, and data analysis – all for free.

\n

Features of o3-mini:

\n

 – advanced analytical abilities

\n

 – accelerated data processing speed

\n

 – ease of use for everyone

\n

 The release is planned for the near future.

\n

Oracle founder supports AI totalitarianism

\n

Billionaire Larry Ellison stated that the total surveillance system with artificial intelligence based on cameras, drones, and police recorders will force citizens to “behave in the best way possible”.

\n

Oracle has recently entered into a partnership with OpenAI and Softbank. Digital dystopia is becoming a reality.

\n

The first Chinese base for robot training was opened in Shanghai

\n

They will learn to help around the house, play football, and assemble cars.

\n

The data obtained in the process will be shared with various companies.

\n

Currently, the center has more than 100 androids and plans to expand to a thousand by 2027.

\n

ChatGPT can now create any kind of application – a new Canvas feature has been released that runs the code right in the browser.

\n

 – There are no limits to ideas – we invent and ask AI to draw up a detailed project description.

\n

 – Copy and paste the request into the chat with the neuron, but add the “/canvas” command at the end.

\n

 – AI will produce a fully working application in React and HTML in a second – you can test it right away!

\n

 – There are no limits or restrictions – you can even clone YouTube in your browser.

\n

The feature is free.

\n
