Etsy for Artists: A Quick-Start Guide to Selling Art and Building Your Brand

Hi Wendy and thanks for sharing this super cohesive, fun Etsy mood board as the class project! I love this vibe for wall art and fabric, it's very on-trend and youthful, so I have no doubt you'll do really well now that you've got the right foundation to start with - great work! :) I'd love a class review if you have a few seconds, it will really help other students find the class and know whether or not this class is right for them :) You can go to this page:  <a href="https://www.skillshare.com/en/classes/etsy-for-artists-a-quick-start-guide-to-selling-art-and-building-your-brand/1720072813/reviews" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">www.skillshare.com/en/classes/etsy-for-artists-a-quick-start-guide-to-selling-art-and-building-your-brand/1720072813/reviews</a> and just click the box that says "Leave A Review." Thanks again and happy creating! :)

Thanks for your kind words Carrie. It has encouraged me enourmously! I seem to have an eye for aesthetics and layout but am still trying to find my actual style with art. By the way, the water colour [Australian English spelling :)] of the tea pot was my very first attempt at painting with watercolours and also creating black--we were not allowed to use black paint! I love using the negative space in my work and think this is part of my art direction. 

Hi Wendy, my pleasure! I'm so happy to hear my feedback was encouraging. I love your style and color palette, and I can't wait to see where you go from here. PS, I'm not sure if you've heard, but I'm speaking at The Profitable Artist Summit and I'll be speaking about Etsy, plus it's free to attend! If you want to sign up, just join here: <a href="https://www.profitableartistsummit.com/?ac=dNnN4yxt" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">www.profitableartistsummit.com/?ac=dNnN4yxt</a> Looking forward to seeing you in class, keep up the great work!

Thanks again! Yes I found it through other connections and have booked my seat at the profitbable art summit event. Super excited to attend! :)

Awesome! I'm sure you're going to love it, see you there :)

I found it difficult to narrow down my options (smile). Natural lines and shapes with dreamy colour schemes will be incorported into my own wall art: sketches and watercolours and eventually fabric seamless repeat patterns for fabrics.
