    Look for a similar type of work and how much are people charging so you can establish a base price. In the beginning, go lower in price so you can sell, and then you can increase your prices as you sell more and more works.

    Can I sell prints of my paintings?

    Community Answer
    I have bought prints of paintings at conventions in the past. Remember to change the price, though. Several people had different sizes of prints for different prices, so prints about the size of average printer paper were $5-$7, and a larger poster could be up to $20. Prints are nice, as multiple people can buy them. Please remember that the quality of the print/picture of your painting does matter. Fewer people are going to buy the print if it's too pixelated or blurry.
