Decide what style of painting and period of history you like. The entry point for investment level art is around 10 thousand pounds, but a trained eye can find an up and coming artist selling work for around 1000 pounds. When a painter is near the cusp of their career, there is a good chance that his 1000 pound painting will go up in value.

Find an artist with a good story. An intriguing story drives the price of his paintings up. Rarity is also a factor when it comes to value in artwork. The less copies of a work circulating around the more rare and valuable it becomes. An artist who has had proper training and mentoring will also have more opportunity for success and in turn his work will appreciate with time.

Learn the artist's financial achievements. A debut at auction can be compared to an initial public offering in the stock market. Selling at auction presents a straightforward and public valuation of the work. The best way to find out what a piece of art is worth is to find out what someone else has already paid for it. If you are interested in a painter with no auction history, try to find out how much his work goes for at galleries and other shows.

For those who can't afford an original, limited editions and signed giclee prints have leveled the playing field. A giclee, or machine made print, costs a fraction of the original and can be printed on fine paper or canvas. Certain things verify the value of a signed print. Limited editions, a controlled number of prints the artist made of the original work, can increase the value of a print. A small amount of limited edition prints are more valuable than a mass produced image. The condition of the print and whether or not it has been signed and numbered by the artist also counts toward how valuable the work is. A preceding number of a print comparable to number 8 of 80 prints is more valuable than number 75 of 80 prints.

When investing in anything always manage your risk. Don't get discouraged!

It can be an overwhelming thought, that you have to wait. We are so anxious about getting results. Let's face it, who hasn't spent time dreaming of all the things that they are going to do with all that money that is going to come rolling in, new car, new house, new t.v., and on, and on, and on. Then, when reality hits and the money DOESN'T come rolling in immediately, then we start to panic. We feel as if we were not just lied to about how easy it all is, but we feel that it is not even possible to make money from home.

We all know that the internet puts information in front of many people at once, as soon as you hit the enter button, and we believe that we should get the results that we seek immediately as well.

You need to understand that even though the internet puts things in front of people immediately, that doesn't mean that they will READ it immediately. You will eventually reap what you sow, stick with it. Everything out there HAS WORKED for SOMEONE.
