  Any painters in here? I'm trying to find a way for my girlfriend to escape the rat race, and she is really in to painting. I'm just curious if anyone in here is making money from their artwork? Also if I could get some critique on her work? (Scroll down) This is in the beginning stages, and I'm just building up her confidence and really showing her how possible it is, and I've watched her art improve an impressive amount in only a few short weeks. I'm thinking we build a up an audience and self brand using the internet and social media. I think we will do farmers markets, and any art shows to try and network and sell some work she's already finished. Obviously she will do commissioned work and has already been asked to do a piece for a friends wife. She's open to any kind of commission work, such as murals. We're also in the process of doing a series of children's books, where she does the watercolour images, and I write the stories. I have a background as an entrepreneur and starting companies, also writing and internet marketing, so I figure we can infuse my knowledge with her skill and we can gain some form of traction. Any input or knowledge or experience or even opinions is greatly appreciated. So here's a couple of her rough paintings, just messing around and growing as an artist, feel free to tear it apart, or even give some positive feedback, but she won't be reading this.

  Paint great. Build a following by going to art shows/setting up booths and selling work - even outdoor events. Then build a website/fb page. Drive traffic and fan base to connect on fb then advertise and get people buying "prints" from the online s tore of yours occasionally do ridiculous sales buy 1 get 3 free or something.... Basically everything i just said has been done by this guy already and hes building success..... Www.Kevineslinger.com
