Stop for a second and ask yourself, "Who were your first customers?". For most of us I think it's safe to say that friends were some of our first customers. Friends are a fantastic group of supporters. They love what you do, they promote what you do. And I think you can get them even more involved in your art. 

What about asking one of your friends to host an art show for you at their house? Some of your closest friends will gladly open their home to your friends and their friends. (Of course you should always gift them something they would treasure. Probably one of your paintings!)

Many of us have a lot of paintings hanging around our studios. What about asking some of your friends to showcase your art on their walls? There is a likely chance they would love to have some of your art for a while to hang on their walls. And the visibility could be fabulous! 

You can also ask them to share your social media posts and even invite your friends to a fun cocktail/painting party so they can see what you do! The more involved they are the more fun you will all have!
