Art to Print

LET'S HAVE A CHAT

As an artist, you know the struggle of making a decent living from selling original art alone. To sum it up, it’s exhausting. Recreating the wheel (in this case, the artwork) every time you want to make a sale is not sustainable. It's doable but it requires WAY more energy than you need to spend in order to have a thriving art business.

The key to a thriving art business? Diversify your income. Best place to start? Art prints.

But why art prints? Because printing art prints is basically printing money. Yup, I said it!

ART PRINTS MADE EASY!

Trying to figure out how to make art prints is hard... but it doesn’t have to be.

Enter my course: Art to Print. It’s the ultimate how-to course that takes ALL
the guesswork out of the art-to-print process so that you can get straight to
making high-quality art prints and make more money.

01. THE EQUIPMENT

Equipment is one of the great mysteries of creating art prints. How do you know what to use and if what you have is good enough? I show you exactly what I use and how I use it — links and all. (Pro tip: renting equipment and outsource printing are great options!)

Module 1 covers all of your questions about equipment. Here’s a sneak peek of what I offer in that first module:

• My beloved printer and the paper we use.

• The best paper cutter out there (and I’ve tried several, so I’m a paper-cutting expert).

• My scanner, camera, and lens with comprehensive details about each of them.

• My computer and the professional software I use (but I make it super easy for you to learn if you are a beginner!)

02.

02. THE POSSIBILITIES AND LIMITATIONS OF ART PRINTS

There are endless possibilities with prints, but there are also limitations to what you can do. It ultimately depends on how you create the original piece. But don’t worry! I’ll tell you exactly what you need to make great prints out of your original work.

In Module 2

• You’ll know how to ensure you create art that is ideal for art prints moving forward.

Module 4 covers how to:

• Light your artwork like a pro.

• Position your camera and use the right lenses.

• Optimize camera settings (ISO, aperture, exposure) for the best results.

• Prepare your print files in Photoshop.

• And more!

“here’s to faster turnaround times, more quality control, and a deeper connection with the art prints i’m shipping to my sweet collectors.”

“As the demand for my art prints has grown over the past couple years, I decided it would be smart to invest in a fine art printer to create my prints in-house. But, I was admittedly nervous!

I assumed it would be such a headache to figure out how to choose the right color profiles and settings to ensure the final print from MY printer would be a beautiful representation of my original art. Which is why I jumped at the chance to enroll in this course - it took all the guesswork out of printing for me! Laurie Anne and Taylor show you how to handle each step of the process from setting up your files all the way to shipping your prints to customers, and it makes me so excited and confident to start printing in house! Thanks y’all!”

Jennifer Daily
Artist
“i’m so happy to have this resource to refer to as i perfect my printing process.”

“There is so much information packed into this course and Laurie Anne explains it all in a friendly and easy-to-follow manner. She answers questions I didn’t even know I had!”

Laurie Buck
Artist
“i so wish i had taken this course before i started offering prints. it would have saved me $1000's in mistakes.”
“In this course, Laurie Anne, in her wonderful down-to-earth way, offers clear instruction for creating quality files, editing them and making beautiful prints.”

Juliet Meeks
Artist
“i've been bringing my paintings to professional photographers, which is costly, and it's empowering to be able to take the photographs myself.”

“Laurie Anne's course is a clear, step-by-step process for making your own fine art prints. Even though I already make my own smaller-size prints, her class has inspired me to upgrade my printer, which is something I've been too afraid to do because of switching up the tech and printer brand.

Her class makes it an easy decision to upgrade and walks me through each step of the once-confusing options! I also really appreciate the section on photographing your own prints.

There are so many time-saving tips and tricks throughout the course - thank you Laurie Anne and Taylor!”

Lucy Reiser
Artist
“YOU’LL BE ABLE TO ENJOY THE BENEFIT OF RECURRING INCOME FROM A SINGLE PIECE OF ARTWORK FOR YEARS TO COME.”

“Laurie Anne’s Art to Print course completely de-mystifies the process of creating your own fine art prints. Her clear, thorough teaching was so easy to understand and incredibly helpful.

You will absolutely walk away from this course feeling fully equipped and inspired to create your own prints at home. I cannot recommend this course highly enough!!”

Catherine Freshley
Artist
“I THINK OF LAURIE ANNE AS THE GOLD STANDARD OF AN ARTIST WHO CARES EQUALLY ABOUT HER CRAFT AND HER BUSINESS.”

“I have been selling prints for a long time, but I look at Laurie Anne's business and see how much room there is for me to improve. Getting access through this course to every single little detail that has made her prints so successful and has helped her grow her business is amazing. Just like in real life and on Instagram, in these videos, Laurie Anne is approachable and full of useful information.

I can't wait to implement all the things I have learned in this course and I know making these changes will have a tremendous impact on my bottom line.”

Annie Wildey
Artist
“LAURIE ANNE HAS TOTALLY DEMYSTIFIED THE WHOLE ART TO PRINT PROCESS. UP UNTIL NOW, BRINGING PRINTING IN-HOUSE WAS SO OVERWHELMING TO ME. I FEEL SO MUCH MORE CONFIDENT AND INFORMED.”

“Wow! such a great and comprehensive course Laurie Anne has presented in organized bite size pieces. I love that she shared the workflow from photographing, scanning and editing artwork all the way through to packaging. With lots of tips and shortcuts along the way, I’m rethinking my whole business plan for the year!”

Sarah Rafferty
Artist
“LAURIE ANNE SUMS UP EVERY SINGLE THING YOU'LL NEED TO BUILD YOUR ART PRINT BUSINESS IN A STEP-BY-STEP, APPROACHABLE COURSE.”

“She is knowledgeable and thorough for all the dos (and don'ts) when it comes to scanning, photographing, and all the equipment used in the process. If you have no experience with this process, she covers everything. And even if you know part of this process, she makes it clear at the beginning how to navigate the course to learn only the parts that you need. You won't be disappointed.”

Jan McCarthy
Artist
“LAURIE ANNE MAKES EVERYTHING MANAGEABLE FROM REGISTERING TO TALKING PRINT SPEAK.”

“I'm not that technical person who gets things right away, so typically I would steer away from a course like this and just keep paying to have someone print my art, but I just signed up for Art To Print. I'm super impressed.

It's easy to navigate and I love the closed captions too which is my preferred way of learning. Can't wait to start printing on my own.”
