Undoubtedly, the artist's talent plays a very important role. Paintings that look like drawings by an average third-grader are unlikely to appeal to potential buyers. And paintings that are technically correct but too similar to many other works will also be difficult to notice among many analogues.
For a work to appeal to people, it must be not only masterfully executed but also unique in some way. As for style, realism is always relevant, but that does not mean one should limit oneself to it; moreover, simply copying reality devoid of any individual features of the author's style is not the best strategy.
The subject matter of successful paintings can vary, as people's tastes differ significantly; however, some trends can still be observed.
Thus, portraits are always popular, because many people want to have a beautiful image of themselves and their loved ones, as well as to give portraits to friends or relatives. A huge number of buyers purchase scenic landscapes, still lifes, images of flowers – they carry positive or neutral energy and fit perfectly into the interior. After all, it is to decorate their homes that most people buy paintings.
Images of city streets, landmarks, and landscapes typical of tourist destinations are also popular. As the authors of the specialized online store Artworld.ru note in an article on the page http://artworld.ru/articles/kartiny-goroda/, such paintings are often bought as souvenirs to remember a trip, and artists understand this well, creating many such works for sale.
Many buyers prefer abstraction and surrealism, but not everyone dares to hang them on the wall, and not everywhere. As for dark but incredibly talented paintings – they can truly impress, shake the imagination, evoke a lot of emotions, but still, most people prefer to admire such creations in museums and galleries rather than have them at home or in the office.
Since the painting purchased by the client will most likely decorate the interior of their home, it would not be superfluous to photograph it already under glass and in a frame, that is, in a finished, complete form, hanging on a wall or standing on some surface. This way, potential buyers can better imagine how this work will look in their own homes. It is not necessary to sell paintings in expensive frames – the buyer can choose one themselves based on their own taste and interior features. However, a painting in a simple frame will look more solid and attract much more attention than without one.
And finally, one more thing about the photograph of the work: it must be of high quality so that the painting can be examined and evaluated properly. Nobody wants to buy a pig in a poke.
