Signed ps

hi there and welcome back to another Bob Platt and Barbara Ridge and this one is all about signing your painting where and why and with what especially my signing pens they seem to work really well let's watch so I'm sure you've seen paintings where artists have signed an a right in the middle of the pain where they try and hide their name somewhere camouflaged in the bushes so you can't really find their name sign your painting people look at your painting what's the next thing they look for who did it so it's one of the best marketing tools you could ever have and keep the signature the same throughout no matter how many times you've changed your names right so keep one name and make sure this is a marketing tip make sure it matches your website you do have one don't you yes so make sure that when you sign your name it drives everyone to your website little social media right there but yes sign your name somewhere along the bottom when I do my painting I'm always conscious about somewhere along the bottom there's going to be really clean area where I can sign my name and it legibly clearly drives them to my website let me show you my paintings right now so whether it's a dark shining pen I'm going to make sure I'm going to shine a light area right and of course if it's a dark area a lot on the bottom anywhere left or right doesn't matter I'm going to make sure it's a light pen so what about the distance the triptychs what about the politics where do I sign let me show you so what about a multi panel painting such as by Calista Krait here well I choose one of the panel's usually along the bottom this looked like a pretty clear area so I signed my name in dark pen right guess the white most contrast but since this is six panels I have to make sure whoever buys the painting or how they hang the pain they know where it goes so six paintings I'll be one of six this would be marked 2 of 6 this one will be buy 3 of 6 everyone's marked 3 of 6 my signature the year the name of that series and I actually do a little quick note diagram where this particular pain falls into place to the whole puzzle of the politics so sign one of the panel's whether it's the district triptych elliptic running panel I hang them individually but let me show you my favorite signing sentence and so most painters sign their name with a paintbrush and so I try to sign my name our Burrage where the paintbrushes never looks good it looked like our bunny or something like that I couldn't even read it I couldn't write the brush so I used one of those pens so mr. smartypants here I use those permanent Sharpie pens ha ha has going to be perfect it's not permanent oh my gosh a year later I saw a latent image of my name night Ali disappeared so fortunately yay here comes the good news sharpie now has a pen different nib sizes black and white and it says paint on it make sure it says Sharpie paint and put on your glasses look way back in the corner and you'll see the word oil-based keyword oil thing here are some of them that I use there's the Sharpie it comes in black or white different nib sizes my other favorite one for black and white for signing my smaller paintings is the faber-castell Pitt artist pens again becomes the fast medium and side this fabulous if you can't find those you can probably go to other art stores and craft type stores and find me other one that says paint II is the green one right there painting they come in different colors but try not to be too decorative signing your name and by the way when you sign your name on the front don't put their Circle C copyrights an old idea don't do that don't paint don't put the date on the front make sure you date the back of every painting ok sign your name my hey I hope this helps you a whole lot and where to sign your name anywhere across the bottom light and/or dark and keep your signature the same on all of them that's your marketing that's your logo that's your corporate identity sorry to make it sound like that but keep it the same with you print always print it is a script always keep do the script hey I'll see you on the next one and thanks again for sharing these little tidbits in my studio I'll see you in the next class and some more good workshop news send megalis day as day in Mexico can't wait it's March 19th 25th and the news about this one is first of all it's a great place right what obeying one more opening so you better kind of come down to Mexico with me we're gonna have a great time great accommodations and we just added one more new workshop here in my studio and that's clubs be five day five days loosen up in my studio that's July 26 to 38 you want to know more about my workshops please go to Robert Burns calm for the full workshop schedule it's pretty amazing I can't wait ready to be doing a lot of great stuff and I can't wait to see you there see you mate on the next bomb blast
