Thank you very Much!Is it good to sell Original Oil Painting at this price? Pic?
I think that's a very low price. Keep in mind that when you are selling original art you are selling the rights to the art as well. If you value your art as an extension of yourself and your creativity you should sell it at a higher price. Is it good to sell Original Oil Painting at this price? Pic?
No!


Did you make this, or did you purchase it from another source?


How much money do you want to make per hour? Unless you used $2 in materials and painted it in 15 minutes, you're way off base.
Too low, will need to go higher. And to clarify the first persons answer, if you painted the painting yourself and sell it, you retain copyright to the image.
Think about your art this way. Canvas cost, amount of paint used, amount of time spent, and value of the painting to you. Chances are that the cost of the canvas and oil paints alone cost more than 30. Not that you want the buyer to pay for all the tubes of color or the whole tube, but you want to well cover the cost of supplies. Then factor in your time spent. Think of an hourly wage that you would have liked to receive had you been commissioned for the painting. Next add about 30 percent, the amount that a gallery featuring your artwork may take if they sell the painting. That should give you a rough estimate for a good price to start out with. Don't undersell yourself, artists need to make money too! If it's something that you don't think you'll ever get a chance to paint again (let's say a certain model that you can't book again) then you may want to up the value a bit as well. Hope it helps!
