artist studio
This week I am showing you all the things I am doing in the studio. I am starting a new painting and making hard choices about style and color, then we prepare the canvas for painting and we get to work on painting. This one I decided to make with no words just a peaceful visit into my studio this week.
In this video, I walk you through my complete step-by-step process for preparing and shipping an original oil painting internationally — from my studio to its new home.
You'll learn how I:
Photograph my artwork using an iPhone
Color correct images for print and digital use
Apply a final non-toxic cold wax varnish
Frame the artwork and secure the backing
Wire and crimp for professional hanging
Work with an international shipping broker
Prepare a thoughtful certificate of authenticity
Add a marketing touch with a personal note and packaging details
Whether you're an artist shipping your first piece or curious about what goes into preparing fine art for a collector, this video is full of tips and insights from my own experience.
