Cultivating Your Instagram: Elisa Valenti Part Two

In this episode of The Artist Business Plan we sit down with artist Elisa Valenti. She paints beautiful full figured female bodies. The varying flesh tones used in her signature variation on cubism make her women come to life on canvas; each figure seem as if it could be any woman and indeed many of her viewers see themselves in her work. We were having such a great conversation we made her episode two parts!In part two we really dig into Instagram strategy; how you can cultivate what you love and make it work for you. If IG is your thing, put effort into it! You need to ask for the sale and IG is a great place to practice that. Check the analytics and see what people respond to.
