It’s a No, No! See what you should avoid when trying to sell your paintings.
First, this painting will never sell!
Because it’s an overall green, blue and cool grey painting. All those colours are cool cold colours. And people don’t buy paintings that make them feel cold and unemotional.
Everything about it seems to fall flat and dismal. There is nothing dynamic and exciting about it.
People really get excited when a painting consists of contrasting cool and warm colours.
Because the contrast of the warm colours… in relation to the cool colours… makes an impact on people’s senses and emotions.
And instantly the effect on their senses and emotions makes them feel they must have it at any cost. And it’s very likely, with that, their money comes out of their pocket very quickly.
Warm colours are yellow, orange and red….and any colour that has one of those colours dominating in it. But that painting has yellow in it! Why didn’t it make a difference?
The sunny yellow in this painting just wasn’t enough to make this painting zing.
