Pricing Your Art | Where to Start and How to Steadily Increase Your Prices | Business Tips

Pricing your art is a really emotive subject. As artists we would probably all prefer to just give away our work as it's so hard to come up with a realistic price, and then we feel awkward in asking people to pay for something we've created. In this video, I explain exactly what I did when I first started taking commissions, how I steadily increased my prices and increased my commissions and how I now have a waitlist and charge what I feel is a reasonable price that reflects the time put in and the quality of the portrait. I'm also including a link to Ann Kullberg's Shine programme - something that I invested in and recommend to anyone wanting to make art their full-time job. https://annkullberg.com/pages/shine-turn-art-into-income I know I waffle on, and I know that how I priced my work and increased my prices steadily isn't the only way, but it worked for me and hopefully, it may give you a little insight into how it could work for you too :) Plus you can watch me drawing leather for 20 minutes - I love drawing leather, my favourite thing to do - I am using polychromos and Pablos on white Clairefontaine Pastelmat board.
