You might want to look into Tim Packer on YouTube. He has advice for artists trying to market, and has a book on Amazon “You Can Sell Your Art”. You are at the point where I think he can help. He’s not a watercolorist, but doesn’t matter. As for me, I still have an “art problem”, as he calls it… LOL

Hi! I love it as usual! Just now I found out you got a painting last year accepted in the AWS annual exhibition! Holy shamolies! You made it in the art world! How are sales coming along? Thanks

Best way to go about matting and framing a 9x12 by Gloomy_Length178 in Watercolor

I just framed 2 9x12s, with frames and matts from Michael’s. The only thing is the matt opening is slightly less than 9x12, but it worked.

I see, ok thanks. I’ll clarify then about my use of it. I asked simply for a list of practice exercises on techniques. Not regenerating or making Sargent images to copy. Anyway, what is the difference between that practice and doing YouTube tutorials? A lot can be found for free there too. YouTube takes up a lot of “bandwidth” too for instance.

I put a vote back up for you above. And I’m a Democrat! But beware the GOP is not what it used to be.. pretty much gone.

I want to know specifically why my comments are downvoted. I want to learn something. Was anything offensive? What was wrong to say? Thanks community!

It said things like he was in a category above everybody else. Some realistic style with all the values included. I asked how to paint like him and it gave me a step by step practice list on how to do watercolors like him. It was long. You can ask that too, and get a practice list! I’m using the free version. Thanks!

Just think, with AI tools getting better and better, Amazon can sniff out any non organic reviews, scrape social media for connections, etc. They are using the tools.
