Here's a concrete example:

My site comes to the buyer (I do not know where he is: a village, town or city, ie, I don `t know his financial status) and asked that's how much this picture?

What should I answer him. The price of taking "from the ceiling?


For example, how much I appreciate the picture "Old French street" 95 cm X 62 cm, oil on canvas.

Given the fact that the picture should come up with a plot to pull canvas, paint it, plus include costs for appropriate education, the picture should be worth at least a monthly salary of the working in your country.

[Валерий Рыбаков]

A monthly salary of the average worker in my country, the country $ 350

[Posav]

Well, let's say, not the worker who is pushing a cart in a grocery store, and working at the factory. This is, so to speak, for the domestic market.

All this, besides education, is not related to price. My brother also occasionally wrote a palette knife, and a friend wrote, but they realize that they are simply craftsmen, and it is good that at least something to pay the higher cost, sometimes even pay $ 500, but basically they are selling for $ 200, and rejoice that they have bought a couple of works. On order is written, also for $ 500-600. And so can and for 1000rub pay, why clutter up the space, when, and so little space. a palette knife, they do the work for half an hour. They also live their craft, but that does not mean that they are artists.

Hard course, but, thanks for your answer ...

Valery Rybakov, there is a price for which you are willing to sell, but there is a market price - these two things should not be confused.

Let me explain with an example: let's say this now, you are ready to pay at the lowest price for the 100 would be a thousand, but buyers do not go, and now the girl friend requests and you feel that the 100 now is better than a thousand in the hazy prospects - so here is the price that you have installed, no more correct to advise you to not be able to.

The market price - is when your picture is present in the market, they sell your agent, they are in the galleries. And then the market generates a price based on supply and demand, as in the store.

Suppose you put the pictures in the gallery in Minsk: 10 pictures of 100 for the month they sold, and you write a total of five per month, ie Can you imagine 5 more but at the price of 200 as there is demand, again sold in three days, then the next 5 is already possible to try to sell for 500 and above.

This is quite exaggerated scheme, but I think the meaning is clear.

Valeriy, until you sell yourself or through the website, your existents in the market is very limited and prices will not grow (can not), because the price (already much has been written on this subject) is determined by the untwisted and if not, how Samvel says - it is just a craft, unfortunately this is the reality of our world, to break all the hard, luck or the smile of fortune - this is an exception.

Doing things you love and get with this handsome profits - it is a great luck.
Being an artist that sounds good, but the promotion at the present time, with limited finances and a great competition - it is even more hard work.

[Posav]

And here arises a dilemma: to unwind and indulge conjuncture or spit on it and doing things you love .

[Seriy]

Posav, there is no dilemma, the whole question - on what market-buyer you untwist and who indulge ... Can the museum and to indulge, they also buy sometimes. You can indulge yourself dear, if you feed yourself ..
