Chitrasanthe 2011

Participating in Chitrasanthe was a good experience. More than 1300 artists took part in the event! The only bad side was that people asked for the paintings at very low prices. I was able to sell a few paintings, with some discount though! The weather also gave some trouble. It was blazing hot for a few hours in the morning but it became all right by late afternoon. Prabal, Praveen and I had booked our stalls together and so I had good company. Met some of my facebook friends too for the first time! All in all it was a good learning experience. The beginning of this year has been good for me. I sold 11 paintings in January. Hope the sales continue :)

  6. Congratulations on the sales! I find that in outdoor art shows, people are looking for bargains. It seems to be the nature of the event. I've learned to take several smaller ones so there is a good mix. Its always great to meet new people, and people we have met on line.
