It took me a number of years to figure out a system that works for me. I work in a couple of media, and sell originals for the most part. Not much of a resale market for my work at this time, if ever. Mostly portraits and western themed stuff. I found that my customers didn't care about cost, hourly rate and all that jazz. They understand the size of the piece of work, and for them size matters. I ran my cost/hourly rate/profit numbers on a number of pieces. I converted that to a "secret" price per square inch for each media. Multiplied it to the various substrate sizes, and rounded them off to the next $10. Those are my base prices, and it gives the customer a simple chart to see my pricing. My price list available, and as part of my portfolio book. Commission works, logos, and corporate art take a lot of meeting and revision time, and those works cost quite a bit than the base price. Then it is a place to start negotiations. Every year I reevaluate my square inch prices, and adjust as necessary

Thanks guys. This discussion answered some of my questions about an artist’s market and about keeping prices reasonable to build a healthy market, and of not lowering prices in order to preserve the collectors’ market. Great stuff. This kind of explains why it may help to be prolific, so that a market could be established in the first place. As an artist about 3 years in to doing it, I am loathe to sell early works at anything but a large price. But this is not realistic. However, I believe that showing early work at a well publicized show could be sort of a substitute for early renumeration as alluded to in your further discussion and reference to MAD magazine work done at low renumeration. Further, perhaps artists should retain ownership of some percentage of each year’s work with the objective of capitalizing on their market when it goes right through the roof as believe mine will. I see what I need to do is to lower my prices and to be much more prolific. My artist name is Ricardo Sullivante.

I was wondering, if after you set a price with the customer what steps you should do there-after. Do you need to write in fine print what was agreed upon and get a signature, or is it enough to have screenshots of the agreement? Along with if you should have the terms attached to where you receive the payment. If anyone had tips that would be a great help!

This is good. I haven’t started selling originals on my site but there’s a couple of other factors that fluctuate the price for me. Commission & size of the piece. I do the materials plus the hourly rate. Figure out what I want to make. Then if it’s going through a gallery or third party, I have to mark it up based on whatever their commission is. I make what I want to make and commission should never eat into that. Also no matter how long it took you, size trumps hourly in some cases for a gallery sale. A small piece that took forever vs a large piece that took significantly less time- the buyer is going to get confused if they see a small piece at $3000 and then see a much larger piece for $2500.

Marshall may have been to subtle with his apple move. He actually gave Stan the price for the drawing by saying „I got this delicious apple which is worth a 1000$ to me if I don‘t have no other apples to eat“ If he had said it less cheeky he‘d gotten nearly double the amount he wanted.

Most of the suggestions I have found online regarding pricing have to do with the square inches of the work. So, if you are painting a canvas that is 12x16, and you charge $1 a square inch for example, the total price would be $192. If you work larger, you reduce the price per square inch a bit (maybe 90 cents)--if you work quite small, then have a minimum price per piece ($75 or what have you). Of course, this is just a baseline and has nothing to do with negotiating advertising contracts or royalties.

I use linear inches which i think are more consistent for smaller works than square inches. I also always have a minimum price. Then I charge a bit less for watercolors, gouache and drawings compared to oils and acrylics. Some people charge less based on the support too but I don't do it.
