Right way up again
I hope - that's what I was planning on doing!
Just had a look,and it seems we've pretty much got the market to ourselves...

Yes you can - a few words of advice (if you need any) . . . Ebay tends to be a marketplace for bargain-hunters - if your work is cheap enough, it will probably sell, but I've tried to put larger scale works on and, over a certain price, people weren't interested (maybe they just didn't like my work, of course!!!). Good sellers via this marketplace are - puffins (if you get good at them, you won't be able to paint enough to supply demand), owls (indeed most birds of prey - falcons particularly) and certain duck species.
Good luck and get drawing!!!

Go for it!
I scan this site regularly for antique and contemporary studio pottery,
What ever you are looking for on that site theres an awfull amount of tat to sift through, but any collectors for a keen eye for quality will soon pick up on something ''good''.
I've seen quality items,that seemingly look cr@p to the untrained eye with low reserves go for well over £1000!
One other word of advice,try also to aim your product at the interior design
market.Nice bold wall fillers,could be relatively small paintings but nicely framed with a good border will make the piece all the more desirable.
You could visit a posh gallery to see how other artists present their work
for sale.

i had thought of doing this not long ago.....but then if you surf and preview the work shown and sold, and the prices offered for the works..you have to decide what price you would accept for your work...in the end i pretty much agree, there are people there who want bargains.
entering art fairs and judged entrance art shows can be a great experience, and good advertizing for your work.
