How does a sale painting work?
Usually, a sale of a painting is directly at a salon or gallery exhibition, but today, for various technical and economic reasons, it is mainly sold in the artist’s studio.
To begin with, the future buyer or buyers make a selection of the paintings that inspire them on the Nadia Vuillaume website.
They then contact her either by e-mail: nadiavuillaume@gmail.com or directly by telephone on +33 (0)6.86.00.58.73.
From then on, an appointment is made so that buyers can come and discover the works selected, talk to the artist and leave with the painting of their choice.
As future buyers, how should you prepare for your meeting with the artist?
First, browse the Nadia Vuillaume website under the heading “Buy an original”.
Make an initial selection.
Either you’ve fallen in love and that’s great, or you’re hesitating between several paintings. Make a selection of 4 or 5 paintings.
Next, look at where you want to install your future acquisition in your home. It’s important to check that the size of the painting is compatible with the space you’ve chosen.
Then return to your selection to check that it is compatible with the space you have reserved for it. A second look will help you refine your choices.
The last thing you need to know is your budget. How much money do you have available for this purchase?
Now all you have to do is contact the artist to arrange a meeting.
How sale of a painting proceeding :
The meeting is always a pleasant moment of exchange where I open the doors to my creative space. It’s also a privileged moment because no one else but me has access to it.
It’s a time for sharing, a time for meeting new people that I really enjoy.
For my part, I would have known beforehand who the future buyers were, how much space they had available for hanging their work and what their budget was.
On the big day, I set up the selected paintings so that visitors can see them in full view. They will have plenty of time to ask me any questions they may have. I’ll give them a moment of privacy so that they can talk to each other calmly and quietly.
Once the choice has been made, we move on to the negotiations.
The painting is delivered in protective packaging. I provide an invoice, a quotation certificate and a certificate of authenticity.
For my archives, I ask my clients to send me a souvenir photo of the painting(s) they have purchased, once installed in their home.
I look forward to meeting you,
Nadia Vuillaume, Painter
