Pricing your Artwork for Sale.
This is a semi humorous discussion for anyone who has ever wondered about how some artists determine the sale price of their artworks.
Please don’t take me seriously on the price or discussion on the last artwork. It’s just another fun poke at minimalism and conceptual art.

I’d make an instructional video teaching that particular style but I’m not sure it’s something you can just learn.
It takes years and a lot of paint to realize that an unblemished surface is the most purest form of art.

I try as much as possible not to script my videos too much because it makes me even more ‘wooden’ (if that’s possible). I’m not a natural in front of a camera. I’ve yet to work out how to film myself acting natural LOL Glad you found the information useful.

Found myself writing down your criteria…all of which is truth. Was almost relieved to end the clip laughing…thought to myself “my god hes so friggin’ stiff” for such a talented guy! Funny or not though, you clearly made the point that art is to be priced at the artists discretion. I’ve priced both high and low and happy to announce that I’m learning.Thank you much. would love to to visit the more serious articles that you noted to previous comment.

this is a dry British style sense of humor and I think he’s very witty and hilarious!

Some to the British humor is too dry and subtile for my American -in your face- taste: but I do like Eddie Izzard.

Keep in mind this …
Keep in mind this is a semi serious look at pricing art. The last artwork is included as a joke which pokes fun at minimalism (a common theme in some of my past videos). This video is also targeted at new artists – which I state right at the beginning. These artists don’t have nearly the same overheads as a professional artist. It’s also not intended to be a detailed discussion – just a starting point. Commercial illustration pays more but is not a fair comparison to selling original art.

Sorry man but you …
Sorry man but you are not thinking like a pro. Commercial illustration pays 10 times that much. You also have not factored in Rent, Shipping, storage marketing, transportation ect. Print should sell for a lower price, But never an original. You need to stop devaluing your work. the 3 peice cannot be seen. You sound like a loser and a nut case. $63 for a blank canvas?

In the long run …
In the long run it’s better to paint what you like to paint, then find the market for it (not easy I know). If you’re wanting to sell in galleries then look for galleries selling work with similar themes/styles to yours. Those galleries are more likely to give you a try because they’re selling to your market. Same goes for any retail outlet that sells art. Look at what they’re already selling and ask is it similar to what your art is about.

Thankyou Ive looked …
Thankyou Ive looked at some of ur videos. I want to sell some work, I went somewhere today and showed them a coupled of my canvas’s but they said my work is not what they’re looking for. I think i might have the capability to do sellable work but how can I work out what people want to buy? thanks
I also like the blank canvas, very humourous. and to think people get away with that.

Did you know you …
Did you know you could get your own scrunched up, reproduction ball of paper via Martin’s web site for just 150 pounds? Comes complete with protective cardboard box and shredded paper packing. Awesome! If you don’t think about it, don’t engage with it, and fail to notice it maybe people wouldn’t call it art?
