Today I visited the last of the 3 exhibitions on Chinese watercolor paintings at Yanhuang Art Museum. In this exhibition, you can find portraits of all kinds - from traditional Xieyi to contemporary abstract, from Western-style to Chinese 'new modern'. I will use this opportunity to talk about 7 potential problems you might face when selling your portrait art.

00:51 Problem of not having the rights
01:45 Problem of not photo-realistic (or too realistic)
02:24 Problem of personal portraits
03:22 Problem of confusion
04:20 Problem of being religious or political
05:17 Problem of nudity
06:14 Problem of production time

Are you a portrait artist? What problems do you encounter when selling your portrait art? Let me know in a comment below!
