Hi again!
I am in the middle of creating a new website just for my portraits and figurative work and am looking forward to my new, serious, professional style.
I thought that I would continue in this thread with further questions about the price list, although if need be it can be moved to a new thread. I am trying to figure out a reasonable price difference between mediums, sizes, and amount of the subject included. I want to use that $1,000 as the base price for a head in shoulders in oil, as sugested. But I want to make sure that my increments for including more of the subject aren't too wide or too narrow. I'd rather price on the amount of subject included as opposed to canvas size. Here's a wild guess for oils:
Head and shoulders: 11 x 14 to 16 x 20: starting at $1,000
Half Length with Hands: 20 x 24 to 24 x 30: starting at $2,000
Full Length: starting at $3,000
I don't know if doubling the price for moving up to a half length is reasonable or not. Input please?
As for pastels, should I price them at about 1/2 of the oils, or closer to 3/4 of oils? I've seen a variety of ranges when I've looked around others' sites. What about pencils, charcoals, or other monochromes? I want them to be affordable, but I don't want to price them so low that they seem worthless. Maybe $150-200 for an 8x10 to 11x14?
Any advice or opinions appreciated.
