Buying Art Through an Artist’s Blog - artmarketblog.com by artmarketguru

Buying art online is often made more difficult by the inability to interact with the artist and experience their perosnality, practices and procedures. For me one of the most interesting and exciting aspects of being involved in art is going beyond the artwork it’s self and getting to know the personality of the artist, their methods, influences and aims. I always end up feeling more passionate and excited about art after I have spent time talking to an artist or hearing an artist talk about their work especially when the artist shows passion for their work. One way of experiencing the process of the creation of fine art without leaving your computer is through artist’s blogs. Artist’s blogs are also a great way to buy art as well because you can purchase from the artist directly and get to see a wide range of works. I have listed a few of my favourite artist blogs below for you to browse, hope you enjoy!!!

New to the Art Game

I am new to the art scene and am having a little trouble figuring out where to get started. I really don't know too much about it. I just know what I like when I see it but don't know anyting about the valuation etc. I am interested in buying some pieces but have found most of the things I like are out of my price range.

My question is this: Is there a big downside to buying art like these prints that are more affordable over insisting that anything I get is an original. I can easily find things I like here but don't want to regret my purchases down the line. Are pieces like this well done? Aside from some of them being recognizable, would somebody who knows about art immediately identify them as prints and not originals?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
