How much do you think my art could sell for? - Cephalopod - 03-24-2014 11:17 AM
I'm thinking of selling some of my paintings/art in the future.
These are just samples of what I can do at the moment, they're presents for friends, I'm 14 years old.

I'm thinking the prices could be $10-15, maybe even $25?
What do you think? Too high, should it be higher?
Any opinions on my art?
Is there anywhere in Montreal where I can sell it?
Thanks, have a nice day.

Art is not meant for profit

You could market them for around $25. If they were any less, people would imply that they were inferior quality products. You could probably go up to around $50.
Opinions: Pretty good, if a bit dull with the colors. However, that is a valid art style and it is just my personal opinion.
No help for the last question. Sorry

Are they characters? They could be part of the cast of Sponge Bob. A mammoth squid, a ghost light and
a highland owl. You need to patent them and pitch it.

I say start at $15-$20.
The colors are kind of dull.
It needs to be more vibrant with sharp details/lines. Maybe you should use less water when you paint.
I don't know anything about Montreal,but why not promote yourself via a website?
Build your own blog, open a page on facebook or etsy and ask your friends to recommend you to others.
That way you can build a better client base.

I would think around $20. It's not easy when there's so much other art out there and because you're young. If I were you I would strengthen my skills more and wait until I was older until I seriously started making business. Do commissions if you want to make money.
