Thanks for watching! Subscribe for weekly art videos!
THX that was very inspirational the whole process was relaxing to watch.
Thank you for sharing so much about your art business! I am an artist and creative who is somewhat newer to the business side of selling my art. I’ve been doing it on a small scale for about a year now, but it’s picking up a bit and I’ve felt pretty lost with some aspects of it! Finding boxes was the bane of my existence, so thank you for sharing links!!!!
I came to learn how to wrap my marvel canvas but ran into a beautiful queen of art 👑🙏🏾
Thank you!
I love the care that you put into packaging your artwork.
Ikr it’s so dope to see the process of an artist especially when there’s so much that happens off screen
This is helpful the special paper looks like what I need. I am also adding a layer of felt in its own little cozy (but I’m weird and born in the 70’s)
Thank you for making this, it’s makes the whole art packaging less anxious for me. 💙💙💙
I just wanna meet u n hug u for being an inspiration lol and teaching me so much
Thank you for the helpful tips. I really love your artwork and I wish for you to paint 🎨 me and my son one ☝️ day. Blessings and peace ✌️
Thank you! This is so helpful. I've only sold paintings in person but I'm interested in selling them online, too.
Excellent demo and well needed. All the best. Thank You
You helped me with the solution to my issue! Glassine paper! Thanks for this! 👍🏾
This video is extemely useful to me queen. You are appreciated.
All the extras to your clients is a nice personal touch.
Thanks so much for sharing this, Melissa. You answered my questions perfectly, complete w links. You are so thoughtful about every detail of finishing and protecting your work, one of the marks of a professional. Bright blessings.
I like your video. I am new to painting. And like your advice.
I’ve learned alot that I can improve on. Thank u❤️
Dang u got ur own stamp and certificate that's legit I never seen that done before.
Hey Melissa! You should try Gamvar liquid varnish! It's the consistency of water and completely odorless. It also doesn't leave brush strokes.
Oh wow, I'll definitely check it out! Thanks for the suggestion 😊
I haven't painted on canvas in years, all my originals are on paper, I also don't sell them, It's prints only from me lol Congrats on another original art sale!
Thank you so much for the tips, very helpful.
Thank you! This was very helpful to me.😊❤
I appreciate this so much. Working on a painting now for a Father’s Day gift that will need to be shipped internationally to the US.
You really are professional, the way you send out your paintings.
Congrats on the sale. You totally rock. Also thank you for this informative video. I needed this information.
I watched 20 videos on packaging your art and thank you this was informative and made so much scence also answered many other questions that I have as a new artist i have many questions on how to do things properly and professionally an what should go with my work to the client or collector!!! Thank you so much this was beyond helpful!
Watching your success makes me warm🤟🏾I hope I can use what you teach to do the same
Great video
Thank you for sharing this process with us. I think the part I have trouble with is finding boxes and knowing the sizes to get.
Yeah, it can be tricky. For me, I use 18"x24" boxes for 16"x20" paintings, I use 24"x30" boxes for 18"x24" paintings and I use 30"x36" boxes for 24"x30" paintings.
@@Mfalconer I love love love you for this. THANK YOU. Your artwork is awesome and you are gorgeous. You are going places with your talent. Always remember that!
This video was most helpful. So thank you very much and wishing you much success.
Hi Melissa! The only thing I'd say is that the stamp you have would be perfect on the cardboard as well, instead pf the stickers on the outside.
Thanks for the useful content!
Your so pro. Love it.
I am so glad I found your channel today! This has helped me so much you have no idea. I was a graduated with a studio art major (years ago) & I am so ready to sell my paintings. All of them are collecting dust in my closet , 🤦🏽♀️ so I need to get to work asap! Thank you again!
Thank you for the lovely process.
You are phenomenal 😊 Go girl! 💕
Try posca pens for the edges. It's super fast, dries quickly and less room for era
Thank you this was so helpful!
Wow I love the personal touches. That is something I'd definitely love to include in my packaging. If I might suggest adding a foam backboard the same size as the canvas to the back to add extra protection:) Your art is amazing!!
Thank you! This was VERY helpful. I shipped my canvases in a TV box from Amazon bc it came with styrofoam holders. I shipped FedEx. I’m upgrading though so this is helpful.
Very useful! Love seeing your behind the scenes! Happy Holidays! 🙏🥰
THIS WAS SO HELPFUL! You're so informative!
Subscribed! I love the care you put into your work. Loving it. Exactly what I would do 😍
Thanks for sharing this Melissa! So informative and relaxing 😊
Omg I really love your art work 💪keep it up. Thanks for the info!!!
Your art is amazing
Great and informative video as always. Especially the glassine paper! I never thought of that. I just use the brown craft paper but will switch to this next time. Packaging and shipping is always frustrating to me. Maybe because I don't get to practice it as much as you do. There's usually much cursing going on! LOL Thanks for such great videos! Love watching your process and seeing you create, M!
Thanks for this! This was a really good insight into the shipping process :)
Thank you for sharing! You are amazing!!!
Good job and thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks, Maama
Awesome
Your artwork is amazing!! And this video was really useful thank youu for sharing ❤️❤️
Thank you!
I love your videos!!!😍 I find them so calming. I'm an aspiring artist and hopefully one day can be as successful as you are. Business-wise, I am curious the hear how you handle shipping cost? Do you offer free shipping or have a set fee? And how do you know how much shipping is going to be? Thank you!
I didn't know that about the bubble wrap!! What a nice clue! Thank You So Much!!! I'm so glad I've discovered you, you're literally doing everything I want to do!! #WhatAnInspiration #BlackGirlMagic
🥰
Thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you for sharing this information. I wanted to know where you got your logo stickers made that you put on the shipping box?
I really appreciated your passion and very kind sharing, I just wonder if shipping out a large box like this will cost a whole lot with Canada Post? Do you have to register a business account with them to have special discount program for shipping? Thank you again...:)
Hey Melissa, have just kind of stumbled onto your videos. You are so calm and organized and I've enjoyed your videos. I really appreciate the info on shipping. I'm a long time artist but trying to sell more and needed info to package my large paintings. Just wondering the average price to ship a painting that size. Do you just figure that into your sale price? Can you do a video on pricing? Thanks
Really helpful video, thank you
How many layers of the Varnish spray to you use?
Hi Melissa. Lovely paintings. I notice that you don't stretch your canvas. Is there any reason for that?
So helpful. Thank you!
Hi, thanks for the tutorial. Where do you get your boxes? Thanks ☺️
I love watching your process videos. Congratulations on your sale! I packed my paintings in bubble like you do for a long time as it makes sense. But all the online resources say the bubbles should be facing the object they’re supposed to protect. So I switched my packing process. Have you ever gotten any complaints of damaged paintings? If not then maybe I should switch back. Either way, thanks for sharing!
Hey there! Loving your videos and your work! I’m also an artist and want to start my own art business soon but I was really wondering if you have ever come across copyright issues for any of your work?
I can’t find any good CZcams videos over reference photos and copyright. Well they all say no to pretty much everything but your own photos, which is not what I want to hear haha
Nice one
Thank you so much for sharing right down to prepping your artwork before packaging. I was wondering do you take a photo of your completed paintings for prints (did you do that for this one too?) before shipping them off to their new collectors? And, I was wondering how do you go about taking those photos? ... Also, totally off topic, do you use a reference photo for your portraits? And do you need to get permission from the photographer or from the celebrity before you can paint and sell them? I’m just curious as to how it works for artists doing celebrity / famous people portrait art. Again, thank you so much for your artists vlogs! It’s so much fun watching a prolific artist run their business and to get inspired!
Do you include Shipping and Handling in your prices or charge separately? I love your channel and it's been very informative and helpful. Thank you!
For expensive paintings the shipping is included (unless it's a commission). But for more inexpensive pieces like prints, the shipping is extra.
thanks for sharing
I'm a new subscriber and really enjoy your videos. Can I ask, when it comes to selecting your box size, how much extra room do you allow for wrapping your work in bubble wrap? Most of my pieces are 16"x20". I'd like to wrap around a couple of times like you (using the same kind of bubble wrap as well). Thanks!
Are you on Patreon? I sooo love your work, production value and depth of behind the scenes info. p.s. Are we going to see Kamala?
How do you chose the colors? That's one of the most unique things I find about your work
Greetings!! I LOVE your work and your vids are insanely helpful! Can I ask where you purchase your paper/envelopes used for your authenticity letter?
please do a video diving deep into how you became a self-taught artist...plus your Jamaican right? shed some light
im just curious how you came to draw heads, and hands so well
If it’s local you can use Uber to ship they deliver packages sometimes it’s cheaper
Beautiful work..two questions: why fluid over heavy body for the edges and how many coats do you use?
Use a sponge to apply varnish no brush marks
Can you use glassine paper for long-term storage? Like wrap it up and put it in a box ?
Very nice! Do you insure your packages at the post office?
Always!
I clicked on the link of the bubble wrap before i saw you bring it out.
It's fucking huge :S
I still can't believe you sprayed that clear coat without some kind of respirator
Do you make prints of the original and sell them, or not on special orders?
Where do you get the Fragile Stickers???
You didnt say what size or how much it cost to ship??
Will parchment paper work instead of glassine paper?
My question is why do you use a small brush to cover your sides ? I use a roller. Is it the texture you do not like? Just wondering
The small brush just helps me paint straighter and neater lines 😊
Where do u get your painting boxes?
Do u use the canada post insurance ???
Where you buy your shipping boxes?
Can I use parchment paper instead?
What is your process in photographing your finished paintings in order to print copies on your new Canon Wide Format Printer?
On which online site do you sell your paintings?
Where to get this certificate of authenticity?
How do you store art that hasn't been sold yet?
I just leave it hanging on my studio walls Lol
Is black the standard color for painting edges?
Not really, it's just my personal preference. Some people leave the edges "messy", some people use white, some paint all the way to the edges as they're creating. It's really up to you and what you prefer.
@@Mfalconer thank you! You are awesome, best of luck to you, and be safe!
where do you get your certificate of authenticity?
i meant to say i just created my youtube channel hahaha
for varnish, what if you just used your fingers (with gloves maybe?) to avoid the lines?
Lol y’all taking bout varnish while I’m plotting to use resin to seal my paintings😭
@@justanotherisekaiprotagoni7293 i love resin
How do you make stickers?
I wanna learn from you... please can I be your friend
