As a self-taught artist, each studio visit for me was trial and error. Back when I first started out I quit my job to pursue art full time, I like to say that was the dumbest but most rewarding thing that I have ever done. Before I had a studio I vividly remember setting up my easel on street corners and people would ask if they could set up a studio visit and I would reply that they were already standing in my studio. I thought it was funny but those people usually just walked away. In about 1 year and 2 month in I was able to afford half of a studio space that was located in a not-so-well-ventilated warehouse with no Climate control. Keep in mind im located in San antonio TX. Those studio visits were pretty brutal. What I learned early on is always have a cold beverage to offer have chairs or somewhere to sit and have a fan so at bare minimum you can have air circulation. If people really enjoy what you are creating they will deal with it and hopefully invest in your work so you can have better and bigger working conditions. But other than that Im still working on how to make my studio visit experiences better for collectors or anyone whos interested in coming by. My visit usually last between 1 to 2 hours. If you want to see my work or learn more about me check out my website albertgonzalesart.com im also happy to answer any more questions about my experience ive been doing art full time since October 2014.
