What do artist’s do when they are feeling uninspired? I believe that nearly all artists experience creative drought periods, whether they want to admit it or not.
There are even phrases for this condition – creative block and artists block. This phrase is obviously borrowed from what some authors experience: writer’s block.
As artists, we all feel uninspired at times. For myself, this has occurred after my father passed away a few years ago. I painted very little during the few weeks after (because of mourning and depression), but managed to express myself through my sketchbooks. I also know what it feels like to come home after a long day of work, and feel too physically or emotionally exhausted to even think about creating.
All artists have dry periods. This doesn’t really mean we are uninspired at all, but outside experiences may be interfering with our creativity. Sometimes, we have to take a step back, and analyze the reasons we are feeling uncreative. It is only then that we can come up with a solution, one that will drive us back to doing the thing we love most – making art.
So, how do we deal with artist’s block? Well, the best thing you can do is not to panic! Ask yourself why you are feeling uninspired. Maybe it is quite obvious, as in my personal situation already mentioned. If you cannot figure out a solution for yourself, please read on for some ideas on how to get you back to creating again.
Having a domain name is an important part of online recognition for artists work. Most people overlook this when they choose to place their art portfolio online. I am guilty of this too. I created many blogs and sites on free servers in the past without bothering with a domain name. Now, since I began working on this website, I am feeling the many benefits of creating the unique web address www.ArtProMotivate.com. 
Do you think it is possible for artists to earn a living selling art on ebay? I’ve often wondered what it actually takes for artists to actually be successful here. In the past, my friends have often insisted I place my art for sale on Ebay, but I was always sceptical. So I decided to do some research. 
Flickr is an online photo sharing and managing website which has over 51 million registered users. 
Promoting art links online often requires a huge time commitment. I realize many artists do not have time to constantly promote their art or to build networks of friends at various websites. This is why I decided to write this article to share with you what I do to massively promote my art links, sacrificing very little time.
Saatchi Online is an online portfolio gallery website that offers print on demand services, as well as a chance for the artist to 
One important thing which I learned from my art school experience is to regularly use an artist sketchbook. 
Artist portfolios are generally used by artists to display a record of their art career to potential buyers, and art galleries. 
Having your own artist website is probably the best way to be successful with

In this artist spotlight, we feature Piotr Wolodkowicz, a nature, landscape and portrait painter, living in Chicago, United States. His oil paintings featured here are very colourful depictions of trees and nature.
Do you sign all of your art? Many artists decide to not sign artworks because they think it interferes with the composition. I have been guilty of this myself. I did not autograph a couple paintings produced during my early years as an artist. 
Finding an audience for my art has proved quite difficult for me, especially just after I finished art school. First, I promoted my art to nearly everyone. After building a list of art buyers and contacts, I have managed to narrow down my particular audience considerably. This has helped me to focus on these people in promoting my art.
In this artist spotlite, we feature a collaboration between Shauna Holiman and Penny Putnam. 
Are you an independent artist who is 
Our primary missions at Artpromotivate are: 
The first section you should notice here is the links at the top. 
As artists, we naturally desire to have our artworks seen by others. This is what is needed to be successful as an artist. 
An artist statement, ideally, is a short summary that informs others about you as an artist, and leaves them wanting to know more about your art. 
I have been using Google+ for a few weeks now, and I can vouch for it’s effectiveness in getting my art in the public eye. I post my art there regularly, and have been getting lots of feedback, along with plenty of website visitors. 
Titling an artwork can be one of the most difficult things an artist has to do. There are many things to be concerned about when naming a piece. 
Setting prices for art should never be made arbitrarily. Many new artists mistakenly choose their prices based on what other artists are selling theirs for, without paying any attention to experience. 
I would like to tell you about some of the interesting features at Fine Art America for artists. Even if you are already a member, this post may help you.
