I will be adding chalk pastels on paper to my gallery. I am estimating that they will range from $10 +
shipping and handling to $45 + shipping and handling. I am spending less time on them than my
acrylic works. They will be in a
different price bracket than my acrylics.
I am imitating my favorite artist Winslow Homer. I read somewhere that Winslow Homer painted
Oils and Water Colors and that his oils were masterpieces that he spent a great
deal of time on and were considerably more expensive than his watercolors; his
watercolors stand on their own as a good work, but they are less costly because
of the time he put into them. So my chalk pastels will be cheaper because they
are on paper not canvas as my acrylics; and because I personally will spend
less time a pastel than an acrylic. I
will still sell both.
I found a quote about making quality artwork. In this case, Adrian Hill is talking about trees. He writes, “a tree is painted to…express his [the artist] appreciation for it,” He wrote a book, On Drawing and Painting Trees. People often paint things, seeing they are beautiful and decide to depict that beauty. This photo is from Amazon.
