Business Overview
Can you produce attractive charcoalportraits of people in a very short time frame? If not, you may want totake some courses so you can, as people portraits created from charcoaldrawings is one of the greatest all time ‘cash’ art business that canbe started. We have all seen street artists who produce quick charcoalportraits of people.
These portraits usually cost $20 and the artist ispaid in cash. I live close to a tourist area, and in the summer I havewatched street artists draw as many as five portraits in an hour’stime. Your math skills do not have to be good to know that adds up to$100 an hour for about $2 or $3 worth of art supplies.
Perhapstraveling to foreign destinations is your dream. If so, this is theperfect business opportunity for you. With little more than a passport,suitcase, and a few art supplies, you could easily work your way aroundthe world producing charcoal portraits in every tourist mecca.
