Pricing your art

[Mischa Milosevic]

This is something that is of interest to all here. Richard thank you for bringing this up. Your help is grately apreciated.

I am still nut sure how to apply this here in Germany. Pricing my work per square inch/cm? I'm not sure if I understand? Head and shoulders 40x50cm compared to a 50x60cm. Being that I am new to the area and starting out with my first exhibition pricing in the ball park i must figure out like quick. I plan to start 000 but not sure where. I have tried to compare prices with local artists that are on line but have not had much success. Any advice would be certainly appreciated.

Enzie, I could use your help and that is if you could mail me a copy of that article you spoke about. Thank You!

Thank you all, Richard! This came at the right time.

Mischa,
Let me make it a little easier. The median price for all art in my research is $12.15US per square inch. If I have done all of my conversions correctly this translates to 1.56EUR per square centimeter. i have only seen one piece of your art (your web site is down) but your skills shown in that one piece indicate that your price point should be around that median.

Thank you Enzie! I'm going to the page now and have a look. I've had so much work to do lately, prep work for my first exhibit here. Lots of problems, website down, attempting to finish paintings in time, putting together fliers, cards etc. etc. Solving the price issue is a major concern at this point. I must not be timid and than again I must tread carefully. If get my drift.

So, everyones help is much appreciated. Thank you!

Sincere regards,
mischa

Mischa,
i have not done any research on drawing prices so cannot give you any advice on how to price them. Your charcoal of the woman is exquisite and should be on the upper end of prices for this type of work. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful/

Richard, thank you. I appreciate your honesty. The oil I posted of the man in hat is just a color study not nearly finished. Actually its in the first stages of small form modeling. I soon hope to post a recent finished portrait in the unveiling's.

Any other thoughts that come to mind in regard to pricing, for my neck of the woods, appreciate you and anyone else to let me know.

Sincere regards,
mischa

I am not positng to really contribute to this interesting string. I just wanted to jump and and say Mischa your drawings are exquisite!!! The detail in the charcoal is a great mystery to me - WOW!
