Hi!

I’m Mark of Buy Art Now by Art House Reproductions.

In my many years of working with artists and photographers I’ve discovered there are really only 2

kinds of artists - those that make a living as a successful selling Artist and the second, produce brilliant

pieces of work, but often struggle to cover materials, let alone make a living from their art.

That needed to change. We needed to create a SYSTEM to support artists who want to earn a living

selling their art that lets the Artist get back to what they do best – creating masterpieces, and a

SYSTEM that takes care of the rest!

After six years of research we have created that incorporates the best entrepreneurial

practices available to help Artists and Photography Artists sell their work to a world-wide market, and also leverage their

efforts to give them repeat income over and over and over again.

Please take time to read through this information kit as it will outline the how the system works and how you can end the

STRUGGLE and become someone who says ‘earning a living as an Artist has never been so easy!’

Keep smiling

Mark Lutz

The secret to becoming a successful SELLING

artist is to maximise the rewards for your efforts

by creating REPRODUCTIONS of your original

pieces. This enables you to always have art to

sell, in sizes and prices that suit your

customers’ needs. Creating Limited or Open

Edition reproductions are an essential part of

any range for an Artist to have available.

Art House Reproductions is the recognized leader in reproducing Artists’ work

around Australia. In fact they are so good, many people cannot tell the original

from the reproductions! You can find out more here – www.arthousehq.com

Once your artwork has been professionally photographed, you simply

need to approve your Reproduction proofs and you’re only one step

away from where the magic starts to happen!

Unlike printing techniques of the past, where an Artist would have to

fork out money upfront to print a ‘run’ of limited or even open edition

prints, Fine Art Reproduction processes today allow you to print on

DEMAND. This means no cash tied up in stock! You only have to pay

to produce your artwork WHEN IT SELLS! REVOLUTIONARY!!

Your only upfront costs are to pay ONCE for your artwork to be

professionally photographed and your yearly subscription to promote

and sell your work on our state of the art online Gallery –

More about that in Step 4...

Automatic Quality Approval (Gold, Silver)

As a client of Art House Reproductions, because your art has been copied by us, we know that the

quality is exceptional and your work can be offered to produce maximum results.

This includes enlarging your image beyond it’s original size if desired without losing quality, and your

image capture (digital file of your original) can be reproduced correctly across all the different product

offerings e.g. Canvas, cotton rag and acrylic.

We can’t offer the same guarantee for artwork that has been copied (captured) elsewhere as many

capture houses simply do not have the equipment or the lighting techniques required to produce the

same standard of work we have spent nearly 2 decades perfecting.

If you have your artwork captured elsewhere, we will help you work out what products can be offered

with the digital files you have based on the quality of the end result.

One last detail...

Why we’re just a little bit different..

There are many sites that ‘sell art’. However, most are just intermediaries who are set up to collect cash

at every step in the process.

The Complete Artist Selling System and the online store www.BuyArtNow.com.au is provided by people

who work day in and day out with Artists themselves. You’ll be supported by specialists in Art Digital

Capture techniques as well as producing Australia’s leading Fine Art Reproductions physically in our

own Art House Reproductions studio. Every day we photograph, print, frame, and ship art for Artists all

around the world. In short – we know art. And we know Artists.

Our next logical step was to also help you SELL your art. With the development of our new Buy Art Now

online art store, we can now support you to find that perfect person who is looking for art just like yours

in a cost-effective, easy to access, easy to find resource for the art community.

It’s not just a website that sells art – it’s a solution.

We look forward to working with you to becoming a successful selling Artist.
