How much can I sell these art works? Can I actually sell these?
I've been painting/drawing since forever lol...but I don't keep them...either I give them away or throw them away... Let's say I don't like arts(?)...dunno...ironic?

Can I sell these? It's acid free, 9X11.5 mixed media paper...I've never sold artworks before, so I have no idea if I can sell these even if they're not on canvas...

if yes? How much do you think based on the size, the acid free, mixed media paper, and "visual" quality of these? These are acrylic paints(Gold Brand) btw.
Some say that I should also price the amount of time/effort I put on a single painting...how's that? I did the 1st 3 paintings within 30 minutes...not sure if it's a good thing or not...
Pencil/Charcoal Portraits, 2 hours max.


Paint:

2. https://scontent-a-lga.xx.fbcdn.net/hpho...0082_n.jpg
3. https://scontent-a-lga.xx.fbcdn.net/hpho...2423_n.jpg

Pencil:

5. https://scontent-a-lga.xx.fbcdn.net/hpho...6538_n.jpg

Charcoal:

I know I can calculate my expenses on the materials used...I'm just after the visual quality and "effort" to add
Btw, the 5th is not a pencil portrait lol, it is a painting (2 hours)...
in watercolor

Major WOW!

You have an amazing talent, I'd get them framed and sell them to art shops, don't try to sell on-line people will just steal the work. Sign each work, take and keep a photo of each with date & time in case someone copies your work.

Lucky you, even if you don't enjoy your talent it will always be there if you need it.

Yes, you can sell them...say the paintings $90 to $150 each, and drawings $30 to $60 ... You could ask more if you paint on large canvas. I suggest to open a shop on etsy. Normally, you have to pay $0.2 for each painting you list there, but here is a invitation from my shop http://etsy.me/1o2UebP and you would get 40 free listings. Open there your own shop and see how things are going.
