Do people buy amateur art?

Five bucks. Final offer. 😡

Yeah, people buy it. But usually you gotta have some sort of following or live in an area with a bunch of rich yt people

I think it can range quite a lot. most of the stuff I made, I couldn't give away. but I think you'd find the secret sauce as it were - if you make it because you want to do it as a job, I suspect you'd find you'll never make anything too terribly noteworthy. if you make it because you want/need to/have something to say/do it because it's part of you, you'll end up with some great stuff. perhaps something that only you ever appreciate within your lifetime, but still great stuff.

so the tl;dr answer is yes, it's feasible. but I think you'd make better stuff, possibly more, by making it for yourself than you would making stuff specifically to sell.

I would never spend money on buying a painting. I would rather make it. 🙂🤭

Good art doesn’t need credentials. I prefer work from obscure artists provided its to my liking.

once someone pays for it, its not amateur any more.

I considered macrame for a while 🤔

Yes

If its a reasonable price at an art festival or fleamarket then no. No one cares but if you are trying to collect a pretty decent amout per piece then yes it matters and won't sell much. If your goal is to make money dont rely so much on your aesthetic but balance that with pop culture references, great color schemes to go with various settings and stuff like that.
