Artists: Pricing Factors

no-name · 10-30-2016

While this question was originally written with artists in mind, this can extend to everyone else:

What factors do you take into consideration when setting a price for your commissions and/or requests?
Time? Resources? Experience? Medium? Something else?

Mine guide is kinda brutal...

House painters earn roughly 18.30 an hour (handy internet search and home remodel guides)

If you cannot pay a professional artist $18.50 or more then there might be issues.

This a simple 2-3 hour sketch is roughly 50 bucks.

If you are famous then the price point starts at 200$

Hope this helps.

Well a 3 ' x 3 ' or 4' x 4'
oil/acrylic /watercolour might have a asking price of $500 to $1000
for the framed canvas sitting in the local community's art gallery

Known artist with perhaps 30 to 90 hours of work in it
