Hello Nostr!

I’m an artist based in New Zealand, and I create canvas paintings. I’m new to selling digital art and would love to learn how to do it on Nostr and earn Bitcoin. Does anyone have experience with:

1. Converting physical art into digital art?

2. Selling either digital or original art for Bitcoin?

Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
