Print-on-demand art prints — sell paintings with no stock or upfront cost

You can start selling prints of a painting you already own tonight. No printer, no money up front. I know the print's real is the reason a lot of you are here and the question underneath every single comment was the same. Yes, but how? So here's how. There are companies that print the thing and post it for you. You upload a photograph of each painting, you set the price and when somebody orders it, they print it, they pack it, they ship it and they send you the difference. You never touch a box. Printful, Gelato and Fine Art America all work roughly like that and none of them charge you to open an account which means the only real job is the photograph and that's where most artists lose the money, not at the selling end. Shoot the painting flat in daylight, near a window or an overcast day if you get a chance. No flash, phone straight on, propped on a stack of books if you haven't got a tripod, not even an angle. Propped to the edge of the canvas, that's genuinely it. A good phone photo in good light beats a bad photo from an expensive camera every time. One more thing, because it changes the maths, don't list one painting, list 10. A print shop with one product looks like a mistake. A print shop with 10 looks like a shop and that painting you sold three years ago and still think about, unless you sign something otherwise, you still own the rights to print it. That one's yours forever. Follow for more on turning work you've already made into income and send this to an artist…
