I have used a financial program called “TinyBooks Pro” for the last 2 years, and it would eliminate a lot of research work for an artist–you can designate from the start when you set up your “books” what category your sales are coming from, and then enter them that way–you get a “sort” anytime you want, and it is easy at any point in the year to see where the money is coming from (and also where you are spending it.Very inexpensive program, you only buy it once, very intuitive (for Mac users). i have 4 categories for income: I designate “Sales, SUT” (sales and use tax) for my direct artwork sales, “Sales, no SUT” (for gallery, out of state artwork sales), “Class Income, ” and “Reimbursements.” for me, this seems to ocver it. Very easy.

[…] Do the math. 🙂 OK, OK, no one said this part would be fun. Outline a budget of what you want to make this year and how many of each item you want to sell in order to get there.

In reply to Beatrice.

That is a challenge, isn’t it? There seems to be only expenses at the beginning. One of my painting partners, when starting out, decided to “sell” her paintings to her household, That means that if she gave a painting as a gift instead of buying a gift, she would take the amount she would normally have spent on the gift as the price of the painting. This keeps her painting expenses from being a drain on the family budget. It also gets her more respect – it isn’t “free.” It is generating an increasing number of commissions as her work is seen beyond her immediate circle. What a great start!
