Of Nature & Art

Selling nature paintings online.

The order that works. Skip a step and the next one gets harder.

  1. Ten works, one subject. Buyers and answer engines trust a body of work. Ten birds beat three birds, two abstracts and a portrait.
  2. Photograph them properly. Square to the canvas, no glare, daylight or two lamps at 45 degrees. The file guide covers it.
  3. Price per square inch. One rate, held across sizes, so nobody has to guess why one painting costs more. Raise it when a third of the year’s work sells.
  4. One page of facts. Name, city, medium, subjects, sizes, prices, a way to write to you, in sentences. That page is what Google and ChatGPT quote. How to get cited.
  5. Platforms by fee. Start with one that costs nothing to try; add a second when the first sells. Ten platforms, fees compared.
  6. Ship like a dealer. Unstretched canvas rolled in a tube, framed work in a double box, tracked and insured for the price.

Questions

Do nature paintings sell online?

Yes. Botanicals, birds and landscapes are perennial wall-art subjects with steady search demand, and buyers can check a painting of a bird against a bird.

How do I price a painting?

Pick a rate per square inch and hold it across sizes. $2 to $4 is common early on; a 16 by 20 inch oil at $3 is $960 unframed. Raise the rate when a third of a year's work sells.

Do I need a gallery?

No. A gallery takes 50% for finding buyers. Online, a page of facts and one or two platforms do that work.
