MJo-art, A Contemporary Abstract Artists Paintings

Contemporary Abstract Artists Paintings create a stunning addition to any room or space.  As a Modern artist I paint distinctive abstract art, but getting it seen and making the impact these Contemporary abstract Paintings can have is the challenge of all artists today the world over. 

As Artist promoting my work is a fundamental part of generating interest in both myself and the artwork I produce. Video and slide shows presentations are a perfect way for  Contemporary Artists like me to present Abstract Paintings in an easy and simple way that anyone can access through PC, Mobile or  modern Tablets.

Shot Presentations and video like the one below can do more than just show of my abstract art to the world, video is also able offer insights and a rich diverse range of information to an ever growing audience in bite-sized chunks that can inform and attract attention across the world wide web.

Making and hosting Artists video's of Contemporary artwork is to day simple and channels like YouTube make it easy present dedicated videos to almost any subject like My YouTube Channel  and then direct visitors to Facebook Pages or Web-Sties with ease 

This shot video of my Contemporary Abstract Artists Paintings is one of the fun ways you could  precent your Paintings or Artwork to the world so why not take a quick look and let me know just what you think I would love to know what I did well or could have done better.   

For artist, video is the fastest growing way to get found on the internet.

For artist, video is the fastest growing way to get found on the internet. With millions of videos available to view Day or Night Online, Videos cannot be ignored by any business, or for that matter artist. Youtube is the most popular video sharing site on the net, The One Big thing I have noticed is artist and art gets relatively few views.... its not the quality of the videos and slideshows but rather that artist don't have time to promote what they do... We just get to caught up in making art and just don't find the value of other aspects of being an artist in the modern world.. I have to admit that I'm just as guilty of this as any artist.

Making videos and slide shows is not difficult. Today online video sharing sites and tool make it easy to produce simple films in just a few minutes as well as lots of promotional tools to go with it... It is after all in the interest of sharing sites like Youtube who make revenue from the advertising space available on such sites. Video is useful for far more than just showing off what you do... Today Social Sites like Facebook and such a like are desperate for a piece of the action and are actively seeking video content, in fact almost every where video content has become prime real-estate online.

For artist, video is the fastest growing way to get found on the internet. it dose not need to be difficult just take a look at the videos i have recently done with the basic tools on my Mac and be surprised just how easy it is to put together a video that helps you to be found online and your work to been seen hopefully by millions.... 

Still Not Sure Video is for You, or for those wanting a little more information or just a good place to start why not pop over and have a quick look at  Youtube for Artist, part one an article from Artpromotivate ( a really good place for articles and information on promoting for artist ) that landed into my inbox today.

Artists Website Starting From Scratch.

Artists Website Starting From Scratch. 

I set out to create an Artists Website that offers more than just the average and Starting again from Scratch seamed like the only way to make the website different from the normal artist offerings online. 

As an Artist Just having a website is not enough. Most of the time spent is trying to promote what yourself as an artist and surprisingly little time is actually spent painting….  This ultimately this has led to a number of Changes of Directions needed to achieve this aspect of Marketing myself as an artist. 

The Studio at Hylands House is just a starting point, being in front of the general public has dramatically altered some of my perceptions and I am constantly surprised and delighted by the reactions that the Paintings have on the average individual in the street, even if they would not normally understand or appreciate Abstract Paintings. 

As an artist its Fantastic, I am Creating New Paintings that are Brilliant, Meeting New people and possibilities, Communicating with other artists, Growing in confidence, Selling Work and a whole lot more besides, but the hours Im committing to the studio comes at a cost. I have neglected Facebook, Blogs and even the Artists Website I have struggled with for so long.

Creating the new artist website has seamed to take for ever, especially when you're doing it in your spear time and along with all the trials and tribulations, problems of computers, Lost and corrupted files and suchlike it dose really feel like that. as much as anything the more i have learnt has led to changes in direction and starting from scratch for the new artist website  

What is it that you want your website to do? 

The first question any web designer must ask is what is it you want to achieve. Just like any website, The Website has to be interesting, simple and easy to navigate. Do you want Your Artist Website to :

• Sell Paintings? 
• Promote and Show your Work? 
• Create a Buss and Interest in Art? 
• Capture Email and contact information?
• Sign up to social networks? 
• Inform and educate?
• Or something else?

It might be all or some of the above, but no mater what it is you want It is vital that a high volume of hits are required to achieve your goals. A website without visitors is pointless. Getting your website in front of enough people requires getting a balance of content, keywords and quality webpages that rank highly enough on Google is harder than it sounds, just throwing a few pages together online and hopping for the best just won't cut it.   

Thankfully there is a lot of help and information available online, but it still requires a huge amount of investment in time and effort to create all the original content in a way that is simple and strait forward for even the average man in the street, to understand and Appreciate the Modern art I create. This process is finally getting to a point where I can truly say that I have crated a really useful and valuable artists website from scratch.

Every painting in the website has useful descriptions and explanations, there are helpful Art Articles and a Sketchbook page offering unique insights into art and painting, along with information about my role as a Resident artist, the studio at Hylands House, contact information and how to buy paintings and much more besides. I still have much to do but hopefully in the new year or by spring at the latest the website will be ready for launch fingers crossed.
