It is good to see that your decision to join the Steem community was very rewarding. You mentioned how people were interested in the process of you made your work rather than buying the end product. From my limited understanding as art observer, I can understand how artists want to be able to sell their work for a living and also I can understand viewers wanting to see the great art but not being in a position to take a piece home. It is a unfortunate conundrum, as you most likely figured out.
The good news however, is that you have stumbled upon a community of people who might be able to help overcome the aforementioned issue (artists needing art bought and gallery viewers not being a position to). Steem as a blockchain allows users to be able to reward those who they find interesting without inuring a financial loss themselves. This way, you can choose to post your work, even if only in the idea stage or a work in progress and Steemians can see your efforts and reward you without loosing money themselves. This way, creators like yourself can do your work, even if it is not in a sellable state and get paid by people who don't lose any money from supporting you. As a bonus, you may even find some people willing to buy your work here.
less to people who may appreciate it more.Exactly! On point @cryptowolf. Steemit can mediate the risk we place on the final product... since the process can be monetized. It also could mean than good art (final product) can be sold for
