Why buy original watercolour art?
Upgrade your home. It will look more expensive without adding a single brick. I’ve been inside very expensive houses in London and they all had art on the walls.
Guaranteed conversation starter. “Oh, this painting? I bought it from José, a Spanish artist who paints Hampstead ponds and writes these weird emails. He painted it three years ago and the story is…” Who doesn’t want to drop that while hosting?
Legacy. A painting never leaves you (if you’re smart enough to keep it). Your family will enjoy it long after you’re gone. Hopefully not for at least 100 years. I plan to live to 100 myself, and I hope you live even longer.
It’s an investment. Artists hate talking about money. They feel dirty. But here’s the truth: art is an asset. Better than fiat currency that loses value every year. Gold, stocks, metals, art… they all protect your wealth. And unlike stocks, you can hang it on your wall. Remember: I raised my prices 10 days ago.
Silent status. We all pretend we don’t care what others think. This is simply not true. We live in society. What your neighbour thinks of you does matter. Hanging original art changes how people see you. From cheapskate to connoisseur takes only one £400 watercolour hanging on your wall.
Identity. What do you project? Are you cheap IKEA prints… or original, handmade art? Have you ever asked yourself that?
Direct connection with the artist. You literally own hours of my life, transformed into paper or canvas. Crazy when you think about it.
Tangible memory. Immortalise a place you love. Not just one of the 800 photos you’ll take on holiday. We all take the same photos, and half of them disappear from our phones anyway.
Uniqueness. Nobody else on earth will have the painting you own. That’s power.
A counterweight to digital noise. We’re all sick of AI, the metaverse, screens, endless internet junk. An original painting is real. Solid. It shuts the noise up.
