What You Will Learn?

  • Welcome to From Hobbyist to Professional Artist : Create a Fine Art Collection! While collections are commonly discussed in the world of fashion and surface pattern designing, they’re common in Fine Art too. Many artists choose to work in the form of collections as they build up their body of work to sell to their collectors. If you’re interested in painting an art collection to sell your art, but have no clue how to begin, you’re in the right place.Download the class workbook here : https://shivani.myflodesk.com/collections.

  • I’m a Naturalist Gouache Artist, based in India. I love painting birds, butterflies and just about everything else in the natural world. But my body of work felt a little all over the place, until I discovered the benefits of working in collections. .
  • In this class, I’ll take you through it all. We’ll start at the very beginning - finding and defining your art style. We’ll then discuss how and why you should work in collections, what a collection is, how to decide on inspirations, right until marketing and launching your art to your collectors. Selling art online does not have to be complicated..
  • Keep a notebook handy, because I’m going to be sharing a lot of useful info that is going to help you in your collection journey. Whether you’re a hobbyist who wants to start your journey as a professional artist, or you’re an artist who has already started selling but feel like you need more structure, this class is going to be very helpful. .
  • To take things one step further, we’ll also create a mini collection together, which will help you understand everything that you learn in this class. .

  • Who am I?My name is Shivani and I am an artist, art educator and creative entrepreneur. I studied in design school, which gave me a deep understanding of how collections work. I’ve had a paintbrush in my hand since I was a kid, and over the last few years I have been consistently developing my art practice, with gouache being my favourite medium to work with! My favourite subjects to paint include all things nature - including plants, birds and butterflies.  .
