Setting up an online store to sell your art is a complicated process! I just spent the last month getting my shop ready to sell prints and original paintings. I made this Q&A video to answer any detailed questions you all had about opening your own online art store, making art prints at home, shipping art prints, and deciding what kinds of artwork people will want to buy. Enjoy this relaxing watercolor painting process of the Biltmore Estate while I answer your art business questions!

*disclaimer: all my experience is on Squarespace so that is what I use for my answer examples :)

Much love,
Ashleigh
