Deciding what price to put on the art you produce can be daunting. You put time and sweat and love into this project. It's your baby and and you'd love to send it out into the world to new home, but what price to charge for it?
Lori McNee is a very successful artist with a healthy sales record. She gives lectures, writes books and many other endeavors. Her advice can be found in this post How to price artwork for consistent sales success from her Fine Art Tips blog post.
We are looking for good compensation for our time and work and the buyer is looking for a good investment and something that will give them continual pleasure every time they see it.
If you are a newbie in selling, it requires a good sales pitch based on time and materials spent. Soon you can go by sales history and testimony from past buyers. There is also the element of what your competition is doing, too.

About Me
- Jack McKenzie
- Paramus, New Jersey, United States
- No, this in not a blog about gardening in any way, but a journal of my journey to become a professional landscape painting artist. For years, I’ve given my paintings as wedding gifts without thinking of profiting in some way from it. I worked for 18 years at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC as a computer programmer. I have been a painter since 1990, coincidentally, when I started working at the Met. I watched Bob Ross do his thing on Channel 13 in New York and decided I could do this, too. I have no formal training. I incorporate Bob's wet-on-wet technique for sky and water. My subject matter is covered bridges, lighthouses, fishing village scenes, barns, etc. Maine, Nantucket, Martha’s Vineyard, Nova Scotia and Spain are some of the places I have painted. My style is detailed and sometimes people think a photo of the painting is an actual photo of the scene. I hope to continue and grow in this medium. I also like to cook & dance. I am also a committed Christian. I am taking commissions - painting your landscapes style photos or your vacation home. Prices on request. contact me - Jackmck@juno.com my website is www.artofjackmckenzie.com
