Painters Tip

Build a Network of Artists

I travel a great deal and so I am fortunate to know many landscape painters. Because I travel, I have been able to be a part of many landscape painter's groups around the Southeast. I belong to Plein Air Florida, Florida Artists group, Plein Air Georgia, Alabama Plein Air Artists, and Southern Ladies Art Conference, which has a group of 8 members from Georgia, Florida,South Carolina and North Carolina. It is great to be able to participate in a few of their activities throughout the year.

Having a network of like minded painters allows me to get all kinds of information on good locations to paint, where the best restaurants are located, motels, galleries and museum locations. If I wish to travel to any city in the South I can simply email one of the painters I know and they can help organize my trip. Often, they are willing to share their homes. I do the same for them. I can also get a feel for the market in that area, what is selling and what is not, the demographic and so forth.

Luckily, I have an extended network out of the deep South through Internet connections to painters around the country. It's wonderful to see their work and to know about their part of the world.

Locally, I have friends and student who help me to stay focused and knowledgeable about the going on in this area. I have a wonderful morning group who has breakfast together once an month to catch up on all the activities locally for artists.

Start building a network of artists for yourself. You will find great value in these connections.
