How Much Does An Artist Make

Video Description

Most artists today can’t live off their art — and I’m one of them… for now. In this video, I open up about how much I actually earn as a modern intuitive artist, how artists made money in the past, and how you can start making money with you art. We’ll talk about why art is so hard to value, what determines an artist’s worth today, and the many (sometimes unexpected) ways you can make money with your creativity — from selling originals to social media, commissions, and beyond. Oh, and I have a pretty big announcement to make too. 🎨 If you’ve ever wondered “How much does an artist really make?” — this one’s for you. 🛍️ FREE DOWNLOADS Art therapy exercises • Pattern prompts • Ready-to-use artworks ➡️ https://anitawinterz.co.uk 🎨 ARTS FOR SALE Explore my 2025 collection ➡️ https://anitawinterz.co.uk/collections/2025 ⸻ 🎨 MATERIALS I USE ✏️ Pens & Markers • Posca PC-1MR Paint Marker Pens – White Ink, 0.7mm, Pack of 2 https://amzn.to/3JMISxu • Uni PX-20 Gold Oil Paint Marker Pens – Medium (2.2–2.8mm), Pack of 3 https://amzn.to/4q7vHb8 • Posca PC-1MR Set – Gold, White & Silver, Pack of 3 https://amzn.to/4nd079t • Uni-Ball Posca PC-1MR – Ultra Fine Black, Single Pen https://amzn.to/429vPMF • Posca PC-5M – Black, 2.5mm Bullet Tip, Pack of 3 https://amzn.to/3WsDLp1 • Posca Paint Pens Set (Assorted 40-Piece Kit) https://amzn.to/3KA77PR ⸻ 📜 Paper & Inks • Daler-Rowney Langton HP Paper Pad – 16” × 12” (Gummed) https://amzn.to/3JL7B51 • Calligraphy & Drawing Ink Set – 24-Color Pack https://amzn.to/3I6pkU2 • Koh-I-Noor Technical Drawing Ink Set – Pack of 6, 20 g Bottles https://amzn.to/4pSxtfR ⸻ 🧰 Tools & Accessories • Reusable Craft Stencils Set – 18 pcs, Leaf/Floral/Texture Designs https://amzn.to/3VOK99U • Poly Foam Brush Set – Ideal for Paint, Varnish & Craft Work https://amzn.to/3Ir47of • Round Artist Sponges Set – 6 pcs (2.5 × 7.5 cm), Yellow https://amzn.to/4nubfiB • Wooden Stencil Brush Set – 3 pcs (Sizes 6, 8, 10), Natural Bristles https://amzn.to/487KP1z • ProDec Masking Tape Twin Pack – 1 inch × 50 m, Multi-Surface https://amzn.to/4nz1XSJ • A3 Cutting Mat – Black & Taupe, Self-Healing Surface https://amzn.to/3KHhdyn • Tripod Stand – Adjustable, Ideal for Filming or Overhead Art Setup https://amzn.to/4nHsPQm • Solid Wood Drafting Table – Adjustable Art Desk https://amzn.to/4n0OzWq ⸻ 🔔 FOLLOW ME FOR MORE ART & INSPIRATION TikTok ➡️ https://www.tiktok.com/@anitawinterzart Instagram ➡️ https://www.instagram.com/anita.winterz/ Facebook ➡️ https://www.facebook.com/anitawinterzart 00:00 - The Reality of Being an Artist 00:54 - From the Past to the Present 02:08 - What Makes Art Valuable Today 03:37 - The Modern Artist’s Dilemma 04:17 - The Value In Todays Art 05:55 - How to Make Money as an Artist 07:21 - How Much Money I Made in September 2025 09:48 - My Story as a Modern Intuitive Artist 10:06 - Big Announcement: Selling My Art 11:28 - Other Ways to Make Money as an Artist 16:38 – Top Tips for Artists to Make More Money
