Abstract paintings are hugely popular right now and I've made mine very affordable. These mini-abstract paintings are just 20 x 20 cm and would look great in any home or office. Original abstract artwork is highly collectible and this series, The Elements, have all sold out which is why I'm creating more.
Want to drive more traffic to your website or gain more followers? Me too! Here are my insights into five social media platforms for growing your art business.
Deciding when a painting is truly finished is challenging and I often return to make changes many times before finally declaring it finished. But that's not the end of the work as an artist. There is still work to be done. Here are my 10 tasks to complete before you can say your work is really finished.
Ever wondered where my paintings get created? Did you think I had some swanky huge and spacious art studio or that I worked in a cosy loft space? Not quite! Today, I thought I'd show you where I work which, with lockdown restrictions and working from home, is now also my office. My point? One doesn't need a huge dedicated space to create art that sells. And tidiness is not essential either!
It wouldn't be the weekend without another blog or without me trying to learn yet another new trick. Today I've taken my Instagram account to a whole other level by getting into Instagram TV. Brace yourself, I fear this could be a bumpy ride!
Welcome to Roy P Awbery’s virtual exhibition of commissioned artworks in acrylic and water colour. Take a look around and see if there’s something you like. I’m always open to commissions and love to receive a challenge.
Don't get abstract art? Think it's just chaotic mess? Me too! Well, I did, but not now. There's far more too abstract than you might think and it's great for decorating your home.
Many up and coming artists seem to think a key goal is to get their artwork into a gallery. I don't! There are good reasons for wanting to get into a gallery but there are also good reasons not to. Here I explain why it's not for me, despite being offered the opportunity and why it's good for you that I don't.
Can you mix student and professional grade acrylic paints? Many websites and indeed artists will say yes. I would argue that you shouldn’t if you want high qualityand consistent results. Here I explain why I don’t mix my paints.
Jackson Pollock didn't always prime his canvasses and sometimes even used household emulsion when he did. So why prime canvasses before painting? Like anything in life, quality is built on good foundations.
Positive engagement is key to success with Instagram and I’ve now learned that it’s good to talk. Good engagement can increase followers and your overall engagement rate leading to more sales.
Why posting pictures with my artwork is necessary and paying dividends. More cheesy smiles to come!
