How and where to sell paintings. How to sell art online

Selling art has never been more affordable to virtually every creator. The reason for this is the global network. The depth of Internet penetration is growing, as a result, the distances and boundaries between the seller and the buyer are blurred. Already in the first hours after the creation of a painting, it can be demonstrated to the widest possible audience. You just need to register on the most popular sites and start selling the painting via the Internet.

What are the advantages of the Internet when selling paintings

Remember the time when the most effective sales tools were participation in exhibitions, art fairs, publications in magazines and newspapers? But now there is an optimal tool - the worldwide web. And it has several advantages over traditional methods:

• Quick sale: completed the work, photographed, posted the photo on specialized resources, added a description and are waiting for a deal on the picture;
• Maximum coverage of potential clients: for this we use special online galleries, social networks, mailing lists on the gallery owner base;
• Increasing the recognition of the artist and his works, which means gaining social weight;
• Lack of costs for transportation and storage of paintings, their demonstration at exhibitions, in the form of a commission to intermediaries;
• The ability to devote maximum time to creativity.

This is the minimum of the advantages that Internet artists provide when realizing the results of their work. But even this is enough to master the tools of online sales. We present you with a selection of the most visited resources.

Most visited resources for the sale of paintings

The more users a site has, the more likely it is to find potential buyers. Therefore, when choosing a site for exhibiting your paintings, we recommend paying attention to the attendance of the resource. The main thing is not to limit yourself only to the Russian-speaking segment of the Internet, consider foreign online galleries as a place of sale.

The most visited sites for the sale of paintings in Russia

The traffic statistics are not the most impressive, but the good news is that most of them are targeted visitors.

Most visited sites for the sale of paintings abroad

We bring to your attention the statistics of foreign online trading platforms, where artists can sell their paintings:

P / p No.	Site name	Internet address	Estimated average daily audience
1	Artsy	artsy.net	7200
2	Artnet	artnet.com	7000
3	Saatchi Art	saatchiart.com	5000
4	Art	art.com	4500
5	Artfinder	artfinder.com	3000

As you can see, the traffic figures are higher, but the competition is also tougher. However, one does not interfere with the other. Therefore, one and the same picture can be placed for sale on several resources at once. The only thing worth paying attention to is the price. Many sites put forward a condition on the artist's uniform approach to indicating the value, that is, on resources "A" and "B" it should be the same.

Promotion of an artist on the Internet

The first step towards the realization of the paintings has been made. The work has been posted for sale on popular online sites, including foreign ones. It's time to start promoting yourself as a talented, in-demand artist. To do this, we start accounts on social networks (if you are not there yet) and begin to acquaint with ourselves and with our work. Here are some subtleties:

• Tell about yourself as if you were talking with a friend: in simple and accessible sentences, more specific;
• Share your experience: what genres you work in, what pictures do you paint;
• Specify how you can be contacted (phone, email);
• Post photos of your work, create short and capacious descriptions for them;
• Invite users of your interests as friends, join thematic groups, participate in discussions, do not skimp on likes to your friends, and they will thank you in kind.
