I think your two-color piece looks great! I don’t think I’ve tried that before—maybe way back in Art classes— but it definitely didn’t come out looking like anything decent.
Oh—good luck with the con art show. That’s often a good way to sell art. It can take a while to build interest sometimes—like doing a show several times, so people start to know your art. It also really depends on the show —some cons aren’t as well attended as others, etc.
You can also send art out to cons. Most people test this by buying a single panel and shipping prints, and seeing how sales go.
Thank you! It was a fun exercise and I want to do some more. I didn't do this in school, but I didn't take any watercolor classes...
The last two Orycons I sold nothing! But maybe this one will be different ! LOL! Sigh.... I'd like to try other cons too, but I'd have to price out shipping framed paintings and see if I could afford it. Watercolor is a little easier since I could just mat the pieces.
Shipping framed pieces is expensive. Most artists who mail in to cons just mat and clear bag the art, and send prints for the lower price point. Originals should only go to big cons where people will spend more. Or where you know you can sell originals easily.
