My studio and supplies are mostly set up, as I've been painting for a while. The biggest change is my collection of canvases, ranging from 9 by 12 inches to 18 by 24 inches, with larger ones in my garage for special, realistic paintings that take weeks to finish. I also have a couple of small Bluetooth projectors; one I recently bought from Amazon, allowing me to send pictures directly from my phone without cables. I can also upload images to my laptop and connect via HDMI, making the process quick and easy. My recent costs have been several hundred dollars, which include more basic paints, a few brushes, and the canvas and paper inventory. Also, a mention: some start-up costs for subscriptions :0/

Task:Go to eBay. Search "original acrylic painting" or "original canvas art." Filter by SOLD listings (left sidebar). Find 10 paintings that sold and screenshot them. Post the screenshots in the Day 2 thread and share: - What subjects sold (animals, landscapes, flowers, abstracts, portraits) - What sizes sold - What price range you're seeing ($50? $150? $200?) - What style catches your eye that you'd want to try Bonus: Find one painting that sold for over $100 and break down why you think it sold. Why:This is real. People are buying art on eBay every single day. You need to see the proof with your own eyes before you believe it. This research shows you exactly what buyers want. Proof Format: "DAY 2: Here are 10 paintings that sold on eBay. [Screenshots]Subjects I saw: [list]Price range: $[X] - $[X]Style I want to try: [style]One that sold for $100+: [screenshot] — I think it sold because [reason]." - Example

Task: Get your supplies together. You don't need much to start: Basic supplies: - Canvas or Gallery paper (start with 12x9 or 11x14) - Acrylic paints (basic color set — under $20) - Brushes (variety pack — under $15) - Cup for water - Paper towels - Palette or paper plate - Pencil for sketching Set up your workspace: - Find a spot with good lighting (near a window is best) - Lay down newspaper or plastic if needed - Get everything within arm's reach Post a photo of your workspace and supply list in the Day 3 thread. Why: You don't need expensive supplies to start. Most members start with under $50 in materials. Having your space ready removes excuses. Proof Format: "DAY 3: Here's my workspace setup. [Photo]My supplies: [list]Total cost: $[X]I'm ready to paint." - Example

Task:Paint something. Pick a simple subject: - A sunset - A flower - An animal silhouette - An abstract design - Copy something you saw in your Day 2 research Rules: - Set a timer for 30 minutes MAX - Don't overthink it - Don't restart - Sign it when you're done (yes, even if you think it's ugly) Post a photo of your finished painting in the Day 4 thread. Bonus: Post a side-by-side of your reference image and your painting. Why: Done is better than perfect. Your first painting is never about quality. It's about proving to yourself that you can do it. Every successful seller in this community started with a "bad" first painting. Proof Format: "DAY 4: Here's my first painting.
