Pricing.... Yikes. This is a dreaded topic to so many, including myself. But, at some point, it has to be addressed, especially if your marketing. There are so many articles on this subject. So many thoughts, strategies.
I've had to reprice my paintings lately to reflect commissions. I try to be fair to my buyer and myself. I take a lot into consideration and always am consistent.
I use a chart, actually two. One for current paintings (last several years to present) and one for older works (with some exceptions).
Coming to grips with pricing is a hard thing for artists. You have to weigh in a lot of things. For example; labor, materials, expenses, experience, to mention just a few. It is complicated and time consuming. Finding that right price and method can be an experience. It is a personal one, one that only the artist can do. What might work for one artist, many not work for another. So, my suggestion is to read up on this topic for tips, do all you can and see what happens.
Take care my dear art friends.
