5 budding artists try their hand at selling

Singapore

PICASSO would have been proud. Five budding artists aged 16 or 17 from the Little Arts Academy were making their first attempts at selling their paintings to the public - all in the name of raising funds for The Business Times Budding Artists Fund, a charity for underprivileged kids.

After all, it's not enough to just create the work - one must also know how to market and sell it. And for that the young artists had Chinese ink master painter Hong Zhu An to teach them the ropes, as well as critique their techniques and inspire them to do better.
