7 Reasons to buy Art direct from Artists

Below are 7 advantages of buying art direct from artists online:

1. As self represented online artists can decide their own prices without paying a gallery commission, prices tend to be lower and are often more flexible. Some galleries charge up to 50% on top of the artist selling price so there are plenty of savings to be made

2. Collectors and buyers can build up a relationship with the artist. Many artists will also have social media accounts and blogs that people can interact with

3. Clients will often receive one-to-one consultations and a more personal service from artists than if they buy from a large gallery or other third party

4. Customers can contact the artist directly with any queries they might have which is adding a more personable touch to the purchasing process. Most artists will be happy to answer questions and assist with any additional issues.

5. Many artists like to keep in touch via a newsletter or mail outs, so people on their mailing list are often the first to hear about events or new work. You can sign up to my mailing list here

6. Art collectors buying directly from artists will often get to know them better and therefore get a sense of their artistic philosophy, where they’re coming from and the significance of individual paintings or series of work.

7. Artists will usually deliver the painting, and many offer free shipping and a flexible return policy

Acrylic paintings

Paintings created with acrylics have a fantastic brightness which make colours appear more vivid, resulting in a remarkable three-dimensional effect. These original paintings do not require any additional framing and the canvas is about 38mm deep.

Elin's paintings are all painted on box canvas with acrylic paint. These are original works of art (and therefore more expensive than posters, prints or commercially printed canvases).

As this is original paintings, there will only be one piece of each painting availble for sale
