Be a Digital Oil Painter

If you are adept at using Photoshop or other image creating software, and you’re good at taking pictures, this is the business for you!  With Photoshop, you can take black and white photographs and colour them with oil paints for a remarkable and very unique effect.  The end result should look like an oil painting without all of the painting typically involved.

We can think of no better or more enjoyable and profitable way than this, to offer breathtaking oil paintings for sale to people who don't have thousands of dollars for a truly hand painted piece of art.

If you are an artist who would like to make a good living using your skills with Photoshop, this is definitely a business you should seriously think of starting.

Offering your work on the Internet would be a smart idea and will allow you to reach a huge worldwide customer base. The first thing you should do is create a good supply of artwork for people to look at and choose images for you to turn into paintings. Also, make it clear that you will be happy to work with their photos also, if this is something you feel comfortable doing.

Getting customers could be hard at first and it’s a problem most new artists encounter, but you should not let this discourage you.  That’s because there are many ways for you to decide how you would like to make your artwork known to the world. Just offering your work on eBay can be a good way to introduce your work to a huge market place. Since your art will be affordable, eBay is a good place to advertise yourself and your work and make money at the same time. 

Placing your artwork in busy places that people frequent can be a good idea also. These places would be banks, restaurants, libraries, community centers, coffee shops, etc. Take advantage of any place that is frequented by large numbers of people.  Just make sure the owners of the walls are agreeable to hanging your art in their establishments. You might even offer a certain amount of money to them if your artwork sells. Beside every piece of art you’ll need to place your asking price, your name and telephone number, and a web site address for people to buy your work or order bespoke pictures.
