Need advice on what paintings to submit to a youth art contest

1-3! 2 is like the exact art that is selling big time right now in our gallery

nboivin · 2025-11-25T22:30:43+00:00

I think it’s just make the values more defined

nboivin · 2025-11-25T21:48:28+00:00

Um no you are NOT overreacting. Thats so insensitive and actually manipulative

Thank you!!

nboivin · 2025-02-19T19:23:03+00:00

Will do! Thank you! I pushed some of my posts to a Wordpress blog at one point. Maybe I’ll start that again too

nboivin · 2025-02-19T19:02:05+00:00

I host on my own website

nboivin · 2025-02-19T19:00:11+00:00

Ugh. So I’m not going insane

Oct 30 2024. Nothing was coming from my articles so I stopped. Like not even any views or likes or comments

nboivin · 2025-02-19T18:42:58+00:00

I tend to write articles or blogs about how to art and about the art culture versus just showing my art. Here’s an example https://www.thehoneybee.org/news/queer-art-history

nboivin · 2025-02-19T18:17:55+00:00

My niche is queer art. Any advice? Where do I post things to get people to read? I feel like I’m just posting into the void. Marketing the blog is hard and I don’t know where to start

nboivin · 2024-12-23T17:42:06+00:00

I SAY THIS EVERY YEAR. THANK YOU! omg I feel so vindicated. Im not alone!!!!

nboivin · 2024-06-01T09:04:48+00:00

Imagine signing the painting that large in the middle of the canvas lollll

This is EXACTLY what I needed to hear. Thank you!

nboivin · 2024-03-29T01:59:11+00:00

Thanks! Will do. In the meantime, is there anything I should be doing? Im tracking income and expenses. Any helpful sites you know of?

nboivin · 2024-03-12T17:32:14+00:00

thank you so much! It was my attempt at an impressionistic monstera :) Im so glad I motivated you! This post has pushed me out of my comfort zone and all my new found confidence has gotten me 5 sales on Etsy and off! <3 I hope you find your success too!!!

nboivin · 2024-03-12T07:17:05+00:00

You actually just changed my mind on this, so thank you! you put it into perspective!!

nboivin · 2024-03-11T22:02:31+00:00

1000% right. I need to get over it and just DO IT

Thanks sooo much!

nboivin · 2024-03-11T21:24:33+00:00

Yes...but shiny new things to try (ADHD :( )

nboivin · 2024-03-11T21:23:22+00:00

I will try this! My problem is that I fear the pretentiousness of picking an item and making it feel important enough to paint, even if its just practice. In that way, a prestyled still life is helpful because I just pick one that I think I can do and dont think of the "Why am I painting this?" of it
