Start by calculating your material costs plus a reasonable hourly rate for your time. Don't forget to factor in studio rent, equipment depreciation, and professional development costs.

I research what similar artists in my area charge and position myself accordingly. Also consider the venue - gallery pricing vs. online marketplace pricing can be very different.

Create different price points - prints, originals, commissions. This way you can serve different budgets while still valuing your original work appropriately.

Track your time meticulously for a few projects. You'll be surprised how much time actually goes into a piece beyond just the "creation" time.

Don't be afraid to raise your prices gradually as you gain experience and recognition. Your 2024 prices shouldn't be the same as your 2020 prices.
