I really relate to the mindset of charging too much for your work.
I believe that experience and education along with your supplies and time should be considered. I am sure you have heard someone ask “how long did it take you to paint this”? I like to add a little humor with my answer: “all of my life” because I started learning and drawing when I was 2 and I still use all I have learned in each of my paintings.

Another thing that has helped me and might work for you is that I realized that this creativity was a gift from God.
It helped me to respect my art and realize the gift that has been put in my heart is worth the price that I put on a painting.

Of course studying others art and what they charge might help but again…I think the price is as personal as the painting.

It’s funny how the “starving artist” look in the 70′s was attractive to art buyers and for some reason artists have latched onto what no longer appeals. It’s truly a myth now as art buyers are much more educated and careful with their spending.

I’m bookmarking this blog right now! LOL! I have believed at least one of these when I was a much younger artist. I grew up and disproved for myself every single one the beliefs I’ve seen disproved here and totally agree. This should’ve existed then LOL!
