Pricing by size?
First let me say thank you to everyone that helped me on and off forum about my prices. Now I just need to get the nerve to bump them up.
While my first question was about the actual dollar amount, as I was reworking the fee structure, I'm now questioning the way I have done it in the past.
I have done it by size, I have always tried to paint in standard sizes simply to make framing easier. For example:
Head and shoulders 16x20=600 18x24=850 and so on.
Should I not be doing it this way? Should I just price by H/S 3/4 and full? And if I do it that way, do I just take the highest price or meet somewhere in the middle?
The other question is, when you are just pricing by the amount of body in the portrait, do YOU decide the size or do you let the client choose the size (usually they have an idea where it will hang)
And last, I'm wanting the prices to reflect a portrait with a simple background. What would be a typical amount to add in for complicated backgrounds and pets? 20-30%?
