usually acrylic, with texture paste and sand either on canvas or paper and then framed

(and sometimes paper with either print or sort of archetecture drafts and then paint over it)

I really am shitting it (not the most confident of people)

so thanks for your wishes :love:

They are actually pretty bloody good. I’d be suprised if they didn’t sell. Actually, how much you selling them for, if you don’t mind me asking?

cheers guys, I really do appreciate the support :love:
have never sold anything before so its quite daunting

I’m not really sure about the prices so presently I’m thinking of them ranging from 4×6 £5 to A4 £25 – but I may add a few extra quid onto them if everyone else selling for loads more – I dunno – I’m a bit stuck
(but I’m also bearing in mind that this is a hobby and not a ‘job’ )

I got the frames really really cheap £1.00 to 4.00 – so dont want to take the piss but I need to make approx £70 to break even – frames / stall etc, but will be happy just to sell a few 😉

ah, cheers hon :group_hug

but I asked my mate round for some moral support this arvo ( and a nice cuppa)
and he came up with all this wanky ‘artsy’ inspiration bollox (that I just really cant say – am known for being honest and not talking utter shit )

and named them all and as he liked that one I told him he can have it but he told me to try and sell it – but I’m thinking of leaving it out as he’d appreciate it more

(and he’s a loyal getting fucked up partner so thats what really counts……. PS I’m quite pissed by now )

Good luck 🙂

I certainly see the bottom right hand one selling and the two ones based on yellow/gold/umber (probably got the colour names all wrong but I expect you will work out which ones I mean)

I reckon even if they don’t sell in the capital (the problem there is more the competition and the “nathan barley” factor) you could probably sell them to yuppies round here particularly 40-somethings “Londonistan refugees” of which there are many

should get Biotech and Titch to be your agents, as they live not too far away from where all the Londoners try to escape to during summer Southwold etc) 😉 also in woodbridge/fram/sax nearer where I live they go for those sort of things.

Even with the recession I think paintings like that could sell as you’re not asking for mega prices but people still want them for their houses and businesses (way better than those awful motivational pictures)
