Purchasing artwork from daily
painters is fun and unique in the sense that you are
'virtually' gallery-hopping from one artist's studio to another!
Each artist has their own methods of accepting payment (or
price, for that matter!)
For
example, one artist may have a set price posted for a painting on
their blog,
whereas another artist chooses to let interested collectors determine
the fair market value of their work, by offering the painting
at auction.
Either
way, this is a great way to get started on you own collection!
Remember that many paintings are in oil, so you may have
to wait a couple of weeks before the artist can safely package
and ship the painting!
Be
sure to contact the artist with any questions that you may
have before you actually purchase, or bid on it. Some artists
will also consider creating a special painting just for you.
For example, let's say that you just saw a painting of a rose that
you would have preferred in a larger size. These are called 'commissions',
and there are as many artists that will accept a commission as there
are that do not. Many times, the artist's blog will give you an
idea of whether the artist is amenable to commissions. Sometimes
an artist just has only enough time each day to complete his/her
daily painting!

To
Recap:
1)-
Find yourself a painting that you really, really like-
preferably, find one that you love!
2)-
Next,
simply use the artist's 'Buy it Now' button on their
blog, or bid on their auction.
3)-
Then,
give the artist some time to wait for your masterpiece
to dry.
4)-
Finally, find a great spot in your home or office
to hang your treasure!

Don't
forget to keep checking out other
artists' work, even if you may not have liked something
done by them before. The reason is that many artists create different
'series' of works based on subjects or style. Additionally,
one of the purposes of daily painting is to get better at it!
Chances
are that you will find something that you like from each and every
artist that you visit!
