Great article Alyson! And Sari is so right — showcasing your work is important and why not make it more special and unique by doing that little extra! I lack confidence in showing off what I do and now I realize that’s probably the biggest deterrent. When YOU love your own work and have a passion for what you’re doing, other will love it too!

I sell my artwork on line (etsy), and often I buy artwork too. I have noticed what an impression the packaging of an artwork makes on me as a buyer. I was sent one watercolor recently that looked great online but was mailed without any care to make the whole package look attractive and valuable. It was so disappointing and made me feel much less excited about the watercolor. On the other hand, I have received a tiny drawing in the past that was so beautifully presented that it looked precious and dear. Now I am extra careful when I send my own work.
Thank you for this post, and thank you to everyone who left such helpful comments.

Sari, Thank you for your intersting response.
A good thoughtful comment…I have figured out my answers to “my canvases” and it can be found in The PK Blogs on my website.

Dear Alyson, I have just been sent your “blog” and info through “Linked In”. I am a “self-taught” Artist from the U.K. I live in a small town in the West Country and have been exhibiting my art locally once a year. Recently, I sold my first painting. From this experience, I learned to consider current trends with framing. The change I made was to change the frame to a white one and my painting sold. Your views on how to regard oneself as an Artist are inspiring. My tendency is to see my art as inferior to Artists with qualifications and not to “toot my own trumpet”. I now intend buying the book called “Brag”. Thank you so much for your inspirational “blog” – Dawn Bloomfield

Sell one to your mother & see what she will pay…Mom’s will pay a fair price, not more not less, a Goldilocks price…Use that as an arbiter of number…(If you don’t have a mother available, try your father…brother…sister…daughter…someone who likes you & is honest…)

In reply to Alyson Stanfield.

I create fabric postcards, and A4 embroideries designed to be framed. I’m also create oil pastels in A4. This will be my first body of work. Most people work a lot bigger. I like those sizes, they suit my disabilities, my lack of space – sharehouse living and no studio.
How do you price work that is smaller than everybody else’s as a newbie and not underprice?
