How To Price Your Art To Sell In 7 Minutes | Explained | Paintings By Justin

[@NabichtStudios]

I paint in watercolor and currently working on a 16x20 cold press paper that is 100% cotton. I charge $2.85 a square inch on all my work. So this commissioned work is selling for just over $900. I am going to mat and frame it as a courtesy because he's a friend of mine. Never under sell your work. Often times I put in over 60 hours on a painting. This is an awesome video!

[@SewWhittle]

I sold my first painting, 12x16, for $40. Guess who’s not laughing? 😭

[@Datz-Donna]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I was shocked to get $17 for my very weird $*!+ as my son calls it!

I was selling 16x20 acrylic on canvas for 50, when I started.

Thank you Justin, this is a very helpful video, I very nearly underpriced my work

[@kr6302]

Thanks. This helped a lot. I'm a beginner, hoping to paint professionally one day cause I finally found my passion. Bless you 🙏

[@bluegreyfogg]

If you paint one you feel good about, try entering it into a juried exhibit. Artists of all kinds enter their works and in a few days they notify you whether your painting was accepted into the exhibit. It’s exciting. You’ll meet many other artists. You’ll be accepted one day and going to the opening reception can be very inspiring for you. I wish you great fun with it.

[@kiyarolynn]

This is an interesting perspective. I’ve worked with a few other artists who also price this way. I price by hour. I have some small paintings that are incredibly detailed. I have some large paintings that are simplistic. A super detailed painting might take me longer, even when it’s smaller. I pay myself an hourly rate and put that , plus material cost, as my painting price, rounded up

Where do you sell your paintings I'm an advanced artist and I'm transferring to Cal State Dominguez hills or Cal State LA I'm not sure yet but my major is the art and I really am a very very wonderful painter and I want to know where I could sell and be successful please let me know.

[@kiyarolynn]

@@michellesoriano699 Unfortunately there is no one-size-fits-all answer. I sell at local markets and through my own social media pages and website. The beginning is usually quite slow. The most difficult part is finding your own unique audience. I recommend getting out there. Post a lot, consistently. Follow trends to increase your reach. Go to local shows and fairs too.

I completely agree, it's not necessarily the size it's about the detail and time and effort put in the work. I do EXTREMELY detailed background-styled illustrations which may even take days on an A3 size. What I wanna know however, is how to calculate for prints? If I am not selling my original artwork but creating prints on an expensive water color paper, how do I calculate the price for that???

Can you make a video about what platform is the best to sell paintings on? Like Etsy, artfinder etc

[@jessicaottis6127]

I've had a lot of success selling on Facebook Marketplace and on local buy/sell pages. Maybe it's because I live in an area where people really love to collect art.

You gave me light Justin, Some individuals want to buy my paintings but I don't know how to price my work. I've been doing detailed still life oil paintings and spending a lot of hours to complete one but I am really glad that I saw your formula on pricing your artwork. Now I am confident even I use the formula for a beginner if it's for a friend or a relative.

[@fane6154]

Not only was this informative but motivational too! Thank you so much. I'm just starting my journey of getting myself out there as an artist :)

[@coramuller6065]

Thanks, Justin, for that information. My estimates were much lower, and I've sold two pictures (0.8mX 1m) just for the prize of the material :-) Bless you always

[@bunengnkelutek]

I developed interest in painting during this corona lockdown... and was very fortunate to stumble upon your channel while browsing through for some lessons and tutorials. Your lessons are very informative and I like the way you explained things. I have painted a few paintings and posted them on my Instagram and FB, to my surprise, most of my friends said, i did a great job as beginner. It really makes me happy. Some even asked if they were for sale, to which i answered, I have no confidence in selling and said my paintings are not yet reach the standard for selling. I wish i could show you my paintings to see your comments either they are worth selling.

[@Caro.Lina333]

Love your positivity, and encouraging words. Subscribing just for that! Very useful for an intermediate artist, beginner seller.

[@jenna_n_goodwell_art]

Formula I was taught: Length (cm) + Width(cm) * material factor * experience factor = price With a graphite drawing having material factor 0,5, acrylic paint 1, oil paint 2.

[@lesleywillis3650]

Thanks this was so simple and not confusing at all.

[@casperthegm741]

Good video. You get right to the point and explain the methodology clearly. I'm getting back into the hobby and thinking about the business side of things (assuming my work is up to par) and this is a big help. Thank you.

[@CarlottaART]

Really good stuff Justin! Thank you!!

[@sky_owl8538]

1. You are a beginner. 192x.5" canvas depth (96 round up to $100 plus shipping) 2. Intermediate (12×16=192) or $200 plus ship 3. Advanced (16×20=320. 320x2=640) Note: everyone sings for their supper. Be realistic about pricing

[@FergusonArt]

I really wanted to hear this. Sometimes when you start out the high number can scare people away especially if your not known but on the other hand you don't wanna under price yourself either.

[@jackie3770]

This is brilliant and so simple! I will be recalculating my prices soon.

[@michaelart3976]

I've been watching you painting for years now and I saw you say go over on your page and and stay it's 150 dollars you seem to have been doing well I've been painting sense I was just a small child my father was a artist and I remember him not wanting me to get into selling my artwork he passed away so I am clueless how to do that thanks for the help with this I really appreciate you have a great colorful day and happy painting

[@bryananthony2080]

As always great info and great help. I have looked over several formulas and then see what works best for me at my level. Thanks brother for the great info and advice

[@georgeatlarge]

When my painting is complete I just come up with a random number I feel comfortable with if the person buying the painting is not happy with it we all have disappointments in life, let's not forget the greatest commodity his time and whatever is paid for your painting keep that in mind

[@YenDraws]

This is so easy!! Thank you for this video!👍👍

[@dramaticwriter9]

Thank you for sharing your video. It was very helpful. My only coment is that I do paintpouring/abstract paintings on 8 x 10 canvas w/1/2" thickness. When I used your formula, it came to $40.00 per painting (unframed). I just thought that may be a little high for my style of painting. When I searched ebay, successfully bought paintings were more in the neighborhood of $17.00 to $20.00.

[@PaintingsbyJustin]

Ray Naso Art Studio thanks !!!

[@azmgbbb]

It didn’t make sense to cut your measurement in half by multiplying by .5 just because your canvas is 1/2” thick. The thickness of the canvas should add to the value not subtract. By this method, a flat painting is worth more because you didn’t multiply by the third dimension. The thickness of the canvas should be added when figuring pricing using the linear method not square inch.

[@daviddreher8588]

I think you'll find he was right if you do the math with different variables

[@panicjiu-jitsu5834]

Thanks for what you do. I did my first wave the other night after watching you. I hope beginners you help give you props.

[@MHarenArt]

Justin, this was good information. Talk for a moment about using canvas panels vs. wrapped canvas. I'm guessing you would poo poo using those. Beginners often use them because they are very economical and you can turn out a bunch of paintings without a lot of investment. But then you discover that friends want to buy them sometimes. I've gotten $25 at the very beginning and now I can get $75 for an 8x10, and $100 for a 12x16. I would consider myself in the beginner/intermediate category. I've got the skills to paint something, but I'm no pro.

[@nirmalajetty5734]

Simple & Easy. Makes a lot of sense.

[@Monkeybisniz]

I'm not a pro yet but, I never took the thickness into account, just length times width then by $.60 per inch as beginner and as I sell more I'll give myself a raise. it worked pretty well for me at a local art walk and enough room to turn a profit, ill try your way and see if I like the math

Thank you. Good to know. I will try follow this guidance.

[@realtalk4994]

Pricing this way is a much better tool when you can have your work professionally displayed, and you're a bit more established. If you're just a freelance artist on Etsy or shopping your art around, it is gonna be extremely hard to sell a 12x16 for 200 dollars. Even 100 dollars unless it's really compelling work.

[@kerwinblackburn4867]

[@burnout-d]

This is a great video! Thank you Justin! Another thing I often wonder about is how much would the materials price/quality affect the final price? Does your calculation apply to student grade materials, like Winsor & Newton, or only to pricey supplies? Well, student grade paints are not cheap either :)

[@DonGass]

I'm not sure about the multiplying by the canvas thickness - why not just use the sq inch formula and say a beginner should start out at $0.50/sq/in? Also, I've seen many of these videos and the price per sq in recommended varies wildly. Baumann says the bare minimum any artist at any level should price their work is $2.00 per square inch (and it then goes up from there based on experience, local market, etc.). Vlad Duchev says $5 to $6 per square inch is the bare minimum.

[@RyanSellers]

I sell 8" x 10" oil paintings for $80 + plus tax. I create my own oil paints by grinding down rocks, plants, and more into pigments for starting price for beginners.

[@aerieee]

Sorry but I have to say this is quite illogical. For beginners, why divide the thickness of the canvas? That thickness can vary depending on how the canvas was made. And what if it was a canvas board? Are we going to divide by say 0.2? Then a 12x16 inch painting with half an inch canvas thickness will be 100$ but a board will only be $40? I don’t mean any trouble. Just really curious.
