Abstract painting is
one of the oldest visual arts. It has been around for thousands of years and
continues to be a popular form of expression for artists today. Unfortunately,
there are many misconceptions about the process of abstract painting and how it
can help you succeed as an artist.
In this webinar, you
will learn from Anthony Zappin, a prominent abstract painter all about
being an abstract painter, from understanding your personal style and subject
matter to selling your work, market trends, finding representation opportunities,
working with curators, dealers and collectors - everything you need to know to
become a successful abstract painter!
Over two hours,
Anthony Zappin will discuss the fundamentals of being an abstract painter, from
understanding your own art and subject matter, to selling your work and finding
representation. He will cover market trends and essential ingredients to
successful abstract painting. We’ll also discuss finding representation,
working with curators, dealers and collectors. Zappin will also discuss some of
the challenges you may encounter as an emerging abstract painter.
First, before Zappin
jump into the business side of things, let’s start with some basics. How do you
know what kind of painting style will work best for you as an artist? What
about your subject matter? Are these two factors related? If you don’t have a
firm understanding of both of these, you can easily end up painting in a style
that does not suit you or your subject matter.
Selling your work can
be tricky, but it can also be incredibly rewarding. Like most things in life,
it takes practice to become an expert in the field. Luckily, there are plenty
of resources online that can help you hone your skills and become a more
successful artist. In fact, there are many online courses, workshops and
mentoring programs that can provide you with the support you need to be
successful. One of the first things you’ll want to do is determine your price
point. This will help you establish a price range for your work. What price
point should you set? There are many factors that determine this. You’ll want
to consider your style, what industry standards are, your location, and other
factors. Once you’ve determined your price point, you can begin to think about
marketing your work. There are many different ways to market your work. You can
put an ad up on social media, create a digital presence on your website, and/or
create content that helps people discover your work.
After discussing how
to sell your work, Zappin will talk about the market and how it can help you
succeed as an artist. There are a number of different market trends in abstract
painting. One of these trends is the rise of visual data. Visual data refers to
the fact that viewers are able to access, analyze, and interpret visual data
via computer screens, mobile devices, and other screens. This has had a major
impact on the market, as it has made it easier for viewers to understand
paintings. The rise of visual data has also had a major impact on how
prospective buyers find and acquire art. With an abundance of visual data comes
an abundance of competition. This can make it hard for artists to stand out in
the crowd and make their mark.
According to Anthony
Zappin, representation is one of the most important aspects of
becoming an established abstract artist. The best way to find representation is
to build a portfolio and actively market it. If you have a strong portfolio,
prospective agents, galleries and collectors will seek you out and contact you.
You can also ask collectors, curators, artists, and critics for their
recommendations and try to build a portfolio around the work they mention.
While building your portfolio, you’ll want to present your work in a way that
can show off its strongest points. This can range from the theme of your
painting to the colors used. You can also talk about your painting’s subject
matter, the context in which it was painted, and how you felt when you were
painting it. You’ll also want to be sure that your work is up to date. You can
do this by keeping your paintings up to date with the latest trends. You can
also keep your work up to date by providing commentary on each painting. An
updated work will give you a better chance of being contacted by a gallery,
agent, or collector.
Abstract painting is one of the oldest forms of visual expression. There are a number of misconceptions about the process of abstract painting and how it can help you succeed as an artist. By understanding your personal style and subject matter, selling your work, market trends and essential ingredients to successful painting, you’ll be better equipped to find success as an abstract painter.
