How to PRICE your artwork

[@KathrynGoldman]

The suggestion about starting with a base price then adding the per inch price on top is a great solution to the problem of how to price small pieces. I work a lot in watercolor and, so far, my pieces are rather small.

Thank you for taking the time to comment. I am so happy this was helpful! I also felt the pain in pricing smaller works. Other formulas just didn't address the "SCALING" issues we sometimes face working from very small to larger pieces . All the best to you!

What would you say is a good starting price per square inch? I’m showing my art in a local library gallery. Thank you ❤

Can you give an example of pricing with the square inch method. Also for someone who dabbled in art for years while doing another career but is now moving to do more art but sold a few pieces privately, where do you recommend placing myself?

Hello! Check out the link in the description box under the video. There’s a doc you can download from my blog :)

@@CrystalBesharaArtist thank you

Does this apply also to multimedia works and other works that don’t only include paint?

[@CrystalBesharaArtist]

I imagine these are pretty good guidelines but you may want to consult a leader in that industry first :)

This is very useful and insightful info, thanks Crystal! 🙌🏻Are there any particular well-known or juried art shows in Canada that you would recommend? It might be a nice goal for newer artists to aim for, to put it on our "artist bucket list" to eventually get accepted at a particular show😁

Hi Sharon ! Federation Gallery (juried membership though Canadian Federation of artists ) have many throughout the year for various levels, mediums and subjects! I would aim for that :)

@@CrystalBesharaArtist Fabulous, thanks! 🙏

Just what I was needing! Thank you!

[@CrystalBesharaArtist]

Awesome ! Best of luck 😊

Thank you so much for this super informative video! I’ve been painting a while now and am trying to figure out pricing as interest has grown in my work. It’s super challenging! These are great tips, though, especially the final one about attending small shows to gather a sense of what’s out there.
