Selling art at a local cafe, not sure how to price…Soft Pastel, 25$? This is testing to see what sells, the cafe only takes cash on my behalf, college town. Eventually will do Venmo.

When I price, I think about how much time did it take me, how much materials costed and how much used, and how much would I realistically spend on it. What is the canvas size of this piece?

25 sounds totally reasonable! beautiful work, just make sure to seal it before selling it :)

People suggested bumping it up so I’ll try 45$ and price down if it doesn’t sell

I’d say 45 if it wasn’t cash only and a local cafe

You have to think of the psychology of the consumer too, how often does someone at this cafe has over 30 dollars cash that they can just spend. What part of town is it in, is it a college town cafe etc.

I think it’s great though $45 seems good you can go up or down from there
