As a new artist, it’s totally normal to feel a bit overwhelmed by where to start. Platforms like Etsy, Saatchi Art, and even Instagram can work well, but each has its own pros and cons. Shipping is definitely one of the biggest challenges I’ve seen artists run into, especially when it comes to protecting works and keeping costs reasonable. Pricing can also take some trial and error — looking at similar works in your style and medium can help set a realistic starting point.
I work with The Fine Art Ledger, and one thing we emphasize a lot is how important it is to document your works properly right from the beginning. Having that record not only helps with selling, but also builds credibility and professionalism as your career grows.
