Finished your painting and wondering, "now what?" These next steps protect it, professionalize it, and help you actually sell it. So many artists stop at the last brushstroke and miss the steps that turn a finished painting into a sellable asset. In this episode, I break down the exact workflow I use after the painting is dry. We cover the studio basics, and then move into the part most artists forget about: letting people know the painting exists! Because collectors do not buy from "here's a pretty picture." They buy from a connection. They buy a story. And if you hide your prices or make it confusing to purchase, people will assume they can't afford it and keep scrolling. Your painting is finished, but your process isn't. Let's do the next right steps so your art can live in the world, not die in a studio corner.
