Ten Online Sites to Sell Your Paintings and Art

If you are an artist, you may have dozens of art pieces sitting there collecting dust. The economy has not been too great lately, but it seems that most people are surfing the internet looking for a good deal. If you cannot stop producing and need help to market your work, there are quite a few sites that cater to artists, whether it be paintings, illustrations, jewelry, or other creative endeavor. Certain buyers are looking for up-and-coming artists, whose work may be selling at bargain prices. There are still plenty of art lovers and collectors with watchful eyes browsing the well-known sites.

You could spend big bucks trying to set up your own website, or you could go to several of the free or low-cost galleries online, where your work can find its ideal audience. Several sites offer Print On Demand technology. They can print your work, add a frame and ship it all for you. You no longer need to be discovered by a gallery owner, or drag your portfolio from shop to shop trying to convince them to accept your creations.

If you are easily discouraged, an online gallery may not be for you, but some artists who have put their artwork online have been able to rake in decent bucks even selling their originals.
