I just had my first $10k month as an artist. A huge milestone for me considering in August I only made $1578. I'm a huge fan of transparency with how I'm making my money in hopes that it will help somebody else make more themselves. Here's the breakdown. (I charge an up-front deposit on all paintings. Commissions are a 50% deposit and Weddings are a 20% deposit. I'll list deposits and final payments separately for clarification.)
