A number of paintings and drawings are also reproduced as prints and greetings cards, which are available for sale. less

First things first, you need to be honest to yourself and consider all aspects of your present and future as an artist and as someone looking for a career in art. So before you rush out looking for and shopping for an art gallery, make sure to ask yourself some of the following questions:

• Do I have a professional-looking portfolio to offer to an art gallery?
