This Website will cover:

If you have decided to become a professional artist then you are providing a product that should be original which makes the marketing of that product even more important.

Once you are creating a painting or art product to sell you are not looking at the market and seeing what is needed;  you are actually making a product then trying to get the market to like and want it.   With this in mind; the painting, title and your details are all part of what people are buying into, so it is important to make sure you are providing the whole package.
