You may not realize it, but Imagekind groups are an amazing way to shop for framed artwork. The Imagekind groups are a place dedicated to showcasing artwork selected by our member community. Each piece included in the groups are hand selected by the artist themselves that directly represent the groups themes.

The Imagekind Groups are a great way to shop for artwork based on your favorite theme. You can shop art from such groups as the Imagekind Illustrators, Cloud Artwork, Digital Art, and hundreds of others!

Below are just a few of the intriguing groups on Imagekind.

While other sites have chosen to limit artist’s control, Imagekind continues to keep control in its proper place…with the artist.

Giving control to the artist is just one of the reasons artists prefer buying and selling their artwork at Imagekind, over other art print sites. Some other reasons include:

• All artists (paid or not) can purchase their own work at base price.
• Our base prices are low.
• We give our artists control of how they price their artwork; we never determine the price for them.
• Artists keep their markup; we never profit from an artist’s markup.
• Our frame and giclee print quality is superior.

For the level of quality and choices Imagekind offers, our base prices are an excellent option for those looking to buy their own work. Whether you want to buy your art prints for an upcoming art show, have us drop ship your artwork to your customers or just want to own or give one of your works as a gift, Imagekind really is your best option.

Awhile ago, Travis shared some helpful ways artists can use YouTube to sell their artwork. I wanted to point out one such artist in particular he mentioned. Hall Groat II has put together a series of instructional video clips on oil painting that are great for learning some of the fundamental oil painting techniques.

If this is a medium you currently work with, or want to start working with, take a look at all of his instructional videos:

Sargent’s Pear
Candied Apple
Derringer Pistol

Hal Groat also gives an example of how artists can use YouTube to help sell their artwork. In addition to his oil painting tips, he also promotes his Imagekind gallery right from YouTube. This is a great way for artists to help increase their art print sales.

Making instructional or other videos of your work is an excellent way for people to find and buy your art. Just make sure to include your unique Imagekind URL in the info box (and better, in the video itself) so people can easily find your artwork for sale.

What other ways have you found success marketing your art on YouTube?
