Dream Big Artworks was born out of a simple but crucial need: to create
and share the SIP Artists best wall paintings. The journey from canvas to collector begins
with one important test: does the painting hold up in a variety of room
settings? This “room test” checks its versatility—whether it fits comfortably
across design periods and trends or caters to a niche.
Key Factors for a “Best Wall Painting”
- Size: Versatility
is boosted by offering various sizes through quality digital captures.
- Subject
Compatibility: Themes that resonate broadly.
- Design Impact: Balance and
harmony within the space.
- Mood: Capturing the
essence of the subject.
- Presentation: Framed or
unframed for best visual impact.
- Workmanship: Ensuring top
quality.
- Cost: Matching
diverse budgets.
When painting, guessing what a future collector might want is almost
impossible. However, through consistent sales and feedback, patterns begin to
emerge, refining what resonates most.
The Journey to a Successful Painting Career
For SIP artists, who are often seniors transitioning from other careers, time
is a valuable commodity. Unlike younger artists who have decades to refine
their craft, we know the importance of focus and urgency in achieving our
goals. Mike Haubenstock exemplifies this philosophy.
Meet Mike Haubenstock
A core SIP member, Mike is deeply dedicated to his craft. He not only paints
but also actively promotes his and other artists' work. His mediums of choice
are oil and palette knife on linen canvas. Over the years, Mike has explored
various subjects, including still life, fashion windows, and landscapes.
Lately, his focus has shifted to larger works, raising the bar with each new
piece.
