How I Sell Paintings on Saatchi Art | Selling Art Online Fast

- Why do some people sell art online easily and others cannot even give it away for free. I investigated it and it comes down to a variety of things like the amount of targeted traffic you can generate, the art you produce and the copy on your landing page. In this video we will briefly dive into each of those aspects and show you how I got the results that I have.
If you like this video and would love to learn more about art business, I would recommend to check out my other videos for emerging artists around various topics including selling art, buying art, art collectors and more. But if you want to go further and really step up your game and start succeeding fast then you can always contact me on Insta or Facebook.

I'm self-taught. I have no agent., no gallery representation and except for one painting, no sales. I'm the definition of "amateur" but I know my art rocks.
Why are you a mix of Russel Brand and Harry Styles?
Can you keep a secret Addy?
Russel Brand is my father.
Dries Ketels it’s absolutely not a secret hahaha
😂😂😂
@@driesketels :D lol
Hello Dries. I just saw your saatchiart profile. I liked how you question each painting "“What would the art world, two centuries ago, have thought about this particular series?” I mean art is beyond technique and definitely we have to break some rules of past. All the best :)
Hey Maria, thanks for checking that out and thanks for your feedback. That's kindly appreciated.
you're very generous with your info Dries - much appreciated...saatchi profile being made right now thanks to you:)
That is true you drive traffic and then they are offered so many similar artworks, so many!
You're totally right. That's one of the reasons why I suggest to build your own website :)
Hello Dries. What a darling you are. Thank you so much for all the help. I'm very grateful to you !
You are so welcome. Wish you the best of luck with your sales. Cheers
The truth is All artists started out as amateurs. ALL. Everyone has to start somewhere. What matters is how you develop and then become a professional and a success, that's the destination
This was very helpful. Thank you. I will check out those other videos you mentioned specifically about finding art collectors online. I hadn't heard of that avenue. 👍
Awesome, good luck with finding those collectors.
Ya Hair is a work of art in itself mate
One day it's going to be sold at Sotheby's!
how can you find out the highest selling artists to look at the keywords?
Look at the artists that Saatchi is featuring, they are featuring people because they have 'proof of work', aka because they have sold artworks in the past. AND you actually don't need the 'highest' selling artists just make sure that they sell on a regular basis. If you have more questions hit me up on Insta or something.
You’re so cool and funny, and your content is great too.. very very helpful. Thanks for sharing.
I appreciate that! Not sure if I deserve the cool and funny part but I'll take it.
Thanks Dries, this is useful. I'm just setting up my Saatchi pages to sell originals so I've made a list of all your tips
Glad it was helpful Kelly! Good luck with your new project.
New to Saatchi and enjoyed your insights. Trying to track down where keywords are hiding on other artist works that sell. Help?
I have wall arts very valuable. But which is best platform to sell them? U recommend
Really helpful thank you. Where do I see keywords on other artists listings please?
As always, you have such good information! Thank you 😊 💓
I want to sell art to at least make a living, passion, and to keep me happy
That's a lovely goal Karos. If you need any help with that. Hit me up on IG.
Dries Ketels yay thank you!
I'm having trouble hearing what he's saying, trying to figure out what his hair is doing sorry 😯
Do you like the hair?
Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh same
@@driesketels your hair is beaaaaaauuuuutifulll
Important information Thanks Dries!
Any time! Glad it was helpful
You have the best hair
ahhah thanks
Thanks alot This was very helpful
Glad it helped Rani!
I'VE BEEN ON SAACHI FOR MANY YEARS...YESTERDAY ONE OF MY WORKS WAS FEATURED. WHY AND HOW DID THAT HAPPEN. HOW AND WHERE TO ESTABLISH A PRICE.?
You give the best advice.
Thank you Angel. that's very kind.
Thank you for mentioning the part about contests. I never thought of entering a art contest.
Any time! Good luck with your first competition soon!
Hi Dries, Many thanks for your videos. They have been great. Do we have to use the certificate of authenticity from Saatchi or we can use or own?
Thank you💙 I just started Saatchiart and I learned a lot from this video. Is it better to upload many artworks?
You're welcome. Around 50 artworks is a good amount I would say.
I've been hesitating to use Saachi because a lot of people say they sell nothing on there, the paintings sit there for ever. did you make your ten grand on Saachi though?
If you don't drive traffic the paintings will sit there forever indeed... And to answer your question: yes... Was that unclear after watching the video?
@@driesketels thanks Dries I think I got my wires crossed, well done on that sale man
Please can you show exactly where to find keywords, I tried searching ,top artists artwork and I can’t find keywords, please help
that's a good question. Perhaps I'll make a video out of that. Thjanks for your comment.
howdy again. out of curiousity, are you fully able to support youself just through your art all year round?. has corona slowed or increased your sales. is it merch/prints/originals all at 33% in terms of sales. aaand insta or saatchi ,whos better for sales.Appreciate everything your doing, wish nothing but neverending success and good luck for you.
Yes I am... I've been thinking about a video around the corona thing. It definitely slowed a lot down for sure but we got some support from the government as well so... I cannot complain.
@@driesketels awesome thats great to hear!.
Does saatchi ship our original art or we have to ship it to the buyers?
I answered your question in that other video right? Or was that not you?
Hey Dries can you recommend basic cameras for art? A point and shoot good enough? Thank you sir.
The best camera is the one you have, no need to spend money on new equipment most of the time. I have two videos where I talk about my camera recommendations for artists etc.
Your videos are always so helpful - Thankyou
I'm so glad I can help.
Great video! I have a question: why choosing to send trafic to your Saatchi profile than to your own website? I have a good trafic on my website: I'm teaching art and my blog and YT channel do a good job. And then, my students become my art collectors! So I'm wondering about having a Saatchi page or just keeping it to my website. Not sure I'm clear, lol. Thanks :)
Yes definitely keep it all on your website no doubt. The whole Saatchi thing is great for beginners but it's not the best long term strategy!
@@driesketels Thanks for your answer!
So why the other video where you bash saatchi art?
There are positives and negatives. I've covered both.
Hii sir I am from India. I have a paintings pencil on paper can you help me to sell it.
Of course... Why don't you send me a message on IG
Sir I massage you on instagram
@@DineshKumar-wt9yv he doesn't want a massage but a message will do lol
sir, I am from the Philippines i have 6 old paintings that I acquired from my father please help me to sell
Send me a message on IG and I'll see what I can do. But I can already say that I don't do that type of stuff.
Saatchi Art Has unscrupulous history and practices in my opinion. ! I bought an original artwork thru a shop direct from the artist, not Saatchi Art, later I found that exact same original artwork on Saatchi Art for sale, but ok there can be a lag when work gets sold and it shows up on the site 6-8 months later, Wow and only due to me telling them. After contacting Saatchi Art they listed it as "SOLD" but at the original retail price witch even after communicating to them that I paid considerably less, $490 less, they left it as the original retail sold price $560 Red Dot, leading people to believe this Artists's work sells for that retail. In fact, the shop that I got it from told me that the Artist that it came from was cleaning out her studio of works that had sat for too long in the studio not sold, how long that is I don't know. After doing a little research I found other instances of Saatchi Art not being too scrupulous. While this may not be illegal per say, I find it a very distasteful Bizness practice.
I totally understand you. I personally find honesty very important as well. Thanks for sharing your experience, it will probably help some people reading your comment.
Great, very useful
Thanks JR, for a moment there I thought you where the JR street artist/photographer/performance artist... Wishful thinking 😂
hello
thanks! for sharing the information.
i am selling on etsy already and i want to start selling on saatchi too but i don't know people will like my art or not . my art works are totally based on paper
Nothing wrong with testing it out and seeing how the market responds.
@@driesketels yes, you are right! Thanks!
Hello. My father is a professional painter and I would need advice on how to improve my listings. Tnx
Can your father help you out? If he can"t, I would love to help you out. Send me a dm on IG or an email or something. driesketels (@@@...@@) driesketels (..point.)com
Saatchi or Etsy? Or both?
I have several videos on the best places to sell art online. Check them out!
Dries Ketels thank you. Came across your channel just today.
he looks like a stereotypical artist. the hair and the energy lol
Is that a good thing?
@@driesketels yes yes it is :)
@@driesketels yes, you are fine!
Please help me out! I have created some art and take pictures. I want to sell on this platform but just sell prints, no original. Is it possible? Also, do the offer print service to customers too or I have to drop ship my prints? Thanks
Yes that's possible and they do all the packaging, customer service, shipping, etc.
@@driesketels thanks Dries. I watched a youtube video showing people could copy the image online to use cause you have to upload large size. Do you have any concern for your art Dries?
No not at all Kim. The quality of a copied image is never good enough.
@@driesketels Thank you so much for your help Dries!
You're welcome Kim. See you around.
Good stuff! I just arrived late to the party and checked out your saatchiart page. Your work, in particular Polluted Blue No. 9 is beautiful. How big is that piece?
Welcome aboard! No.9 is 22 H x 18.1 W x 0.4 in
If you want I can send some extra pictures of that one. Just hit me up on IG or something and I'll send them over.
@@driesketels i dont know why I thought it was bigger, like 40 height by 34 or something like that...😂 my daughter says Im spoiled by being around big canvases 🤔😅 love it . I dont have an insta, remember the poem theft thing...but i am interested in getting something, eventually... original .
Do you have an "or something "
I don't 😂 we'll figure it out.
Sounds like a nice environment with big canvases. I'm sure we'll figure something out indeed. I'll send you some extra pictures to your email tomorrow.
@@driesketels depends on your definition of nice...😂there are works in progress that pack a small space....sometimes it feels like anchovies, sometimes a mitten 😆
I'll take a look at your prints tomorrow, thanks.
Do you think region also matters in selling artworks on saatchi. I believe nobody like buying in or from a Pakistani Artist when I think my work does meet standards of many hyperrealistic artists? Or maybe it’s just the style that people don’t like as it’s quite debatable 😅
Plus people exploit you so much, I wish I had some followers from the other parts of the world who respect art more
I totally understand you, it's not always easy but that's the beauty with the online world you can sell to any place you want and don't have to restrict yourself to anything
Indeed. Thank you 😊 keep doing amazing work and motivating others
Thank you!
You're so welcome! Great that you send me a message on IG as well. Always love to connect :)
Thank you for the support 🤗
With pleasure Dessislava
Good evening sir. I am from India. I am a batik artist and I wish to sell on saatchi arts. Do they provide shipping service from India or I have to ship my art works myself?
I assume they do. But you can always check those things on their website or ask their support staff.
Hey thanks man!
Any time Gabe!
so right!
Julian Julian Julian. Let's go.
Saatchi Art is an unscrupulous Art Dealer. First had experience.
Eric, can you give some examples of them being unscrupulous?
@@driesketels Sometime after purchasing an Original artwork direct from an artist I was looking for other works by that artist, I ran across Saatchi Art And my artwork was on their site for sale and at a retail price considerably higher than what I had paid . I had to informed them several times over some time before they finally listed as SOLD. They continued to list it as SOLD but at the full retail price and remains that way to this day even after I informed them of the discrepancy. In my opinion, this is a version of the Red dot scam Gallery's use to make artist look popular and are selling or selling for more than they actually do. Thoe this is not Illegal it is Vary Vary Distasteful to say the least, and I never got any responses from them on any of my communications to this day.
Nice video bro!
Glad you liked it Mannie... Nice combo... art and fitness
@@driesketels Thank you! I greatly appreciate it.

I can't believe that I came back to this video to take this class again. Lol! just like a bad student that got distracted.
Glad you found your way to the north back. Always nice to have you Berynnice.
Dries - in light you video about not to sell on Saatchi Art, why is this video still on CZcams?
For the people who want to sell on Saatchi art... I try to make different videos for different perspectives and for some people selling on Saatchi is probably the best thing they can do.
