I’ve had a few inquires in the last couple days from interested buyers who are on a budget. These conversations got me thinking about ways I can be flexible to meet the needs of my potential collectors.

The only thing I love more than painting is finding a permanent home for my artwork where it will be seen and enjoyed for years to come. I’ve always been conscientious about having my artwork at reasonable prices. I believe everybody should be able to own original artwork. However, I understand that affordable artwork can still be out of reach for certain budgets. If you’re interested in buying one of my works but finances are a stumbling block, please reach out. If we can’t make it work right away, I appreciate knowing you love my work and I’ll keep you in mind in case the right opportunity comes down the road.

Here are just a few ideas for the budget-conscious:

1. Layaway & Payment Plans

If want to buy a painting but can’t afford it immediately, I’m happy to put it on hold for a few weeks. If you need more than a couple weeks, you can put down a deposit and have the painting held for an additional period of time. Longer term payment plans are a possibility too if you wish to pay over the course of several months.

2. Have Someone Buy a Painting for You: Birthday / Holiday / Housewarming / Wedding Gifts

Don’t keep it a secret that you’d like one of my paintings! Let your friends and family know that you’d like one of my works by sharing a link to a specific painting or by sharing my email (alex@alexroediger.com) or one of my social media handles. I’m also happy to accept payment from several people for one painting. If you’re getting married, be sure to add a link from my site to your wedding registry.

3. Barter

I love bartering! You may have something of interest that could pay or partially pay for an artwork. For instance, I would be potentially interested in furniture, restaurant/retail gift cards, discounts from your work place, a free/discounted place to stay for a vacation, etc. One client who worked at a paintbrush factory paid for half of his commission by giving me paintbrushes! Do you make nightstands? I really need a couple of new nightstands.

4. Buy Multiple Works

If you buy multiple works you will get the best deal. For instance, if you’re buying a painting for yourself, you would get a great deal on any additional paintings that could be used as gifts for upcoming holidays, weddings and housewarming parties.

5. Referrals

I’m happy to give you a 25% off code if you refer me a new collector. The new collector needs to be someone who 1) I don’t know and who is buying for the first time 2) tells me at the time of purchase that they were referred by you 3) is buying online (does not apply to in-person sales)

6. Join my Mailing List to Learn About Sales

I occasionally have sales on older works. Be sure to sign up below to find out about limited time sales:

7. Email Me

Do you want to own one of my paintings but have a limited budget? Email me at alex@alexroediger.com and let me know what work(s) you’re interested and what your budget is. It may not lead to a discount or a sale in that moment, but then again it might. Even if you say your art budget is extremely modest and you love a painting I have at a much higher price point, I will be both grateful for your enthusiasm and totally understanding of your budget. I probably won’t reduce the price of an artwork by an extreme amount, but I can tell you what works I have that might fit your budget or it may inspire me to make a similar work that would fit your budget. Regardless, it’s always nice when people reach out and express interest, even if the price isn’t right for them in the moment. I’ve found a deal can often be made.
