Last year in 2017 I was here, there and everywhere at various shows and fairs and this year has been no exception.<\/p>\n<p>After all the market research I gathered during 2017, I realised that in order to have a successful stall I needed to be selling work with a wide price range from cards at \u00a32.00 to large originals priced at \u00a3350+. However, even though I was selling prints which came in the middle price bracket, I came to the conclusion that something was missing. I had a lot of people wanting to buy my original artwork but not everybody could afford the larger pieces so I came up with the idea of a Miniature Zoo.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_274\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-274\" style=\"width: 3712px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-274\" src=\"https:\/\/pritchart.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Framed.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"3712\" height=\"3264\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pritchart.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Framed.jpg 3712w, https:\/\/pritchart.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Framed-300x264.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pritchart.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Framed-768x675.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pritchart.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Framed-1024x900.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/pritchart.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Framed-109x96.jpg 109w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 3712px) 100vw, 3712px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-274\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Original drawing of a barn owl in flight<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This idea worked really well for me as it meant I could produce up to five 4&#215;4 inch drawings in a week to take to the shows or sell online via my website or social media. Taking part in so many shows over the summer doesn&#8217;t leave much time to draw large wildlife pieces or pet portraits so to be able to create lots of smaller pieces of art in between was a dream and allowed me to &#8216;quickly&#8217; draw animals which have been on my list for some time.<\/p>\n<p>I could never have imagined how popular my Miniature Zoo would be and as a few of my regular customers tell me, they make a lovely collectors item!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_276\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-276\" style=\"width: 3584px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-276\" src=\"https:\/\/pritchart.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Frame-Photo.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"3584\" height=\"3152\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pritchart.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Frame-Photo.jpg 3584w, https:\/\/pritchart.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Frame-Photo-300x264.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pritchart.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Frame-Photo-768x675.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pritchart.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Frame-Photo-1024x901.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/pritchart.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Frame-Photo-109x96.jpg 109w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 3584px) 100vw, 3584px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-276\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Original drawing of a puffin<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well that was a hot and busy summer here in Britain!
