If you charge too much for your artwork nobody will buy it, but if you charge too little, you've wasted some of your time, energy and talent. Even for artists with years of experience, pricing work is problematic. How do artists price their work? Learn about some of the basic principles of pricing your art. Instructor: Paul Portelli is a specialist in retail design, merchandising and event coordination. An excellent and enthusiastic speaker full of knowledge, Paul is a mine of information.
