How much would a freelance graphic artist charge?

For people who are artist how much should one charge for painting?

  • How much should I charge my painting for my aunt? I did a painting that my aunt really likes and she wants to buy it from me , it;s a portriate of a Hollywood sign with the Hollywood hills and she really likes it... Plus I worked really hard on it in my Art class. So I could really use the money but how much should I charge?? She wants to pay me and I couls really use the money.

  • Answer:

    don't charge her, give it to her with out her knowing, sneak it into her house and hang it up. then she will most likely pay you some how later in life. if you are not into this idea, charge her 150$ the price of a set of artist grade paints, and use the money to actually buy the paints. remember you are a student, and if you are talented and keep working then someday your paintings will be worth something substantial.

For starter..how about 150 dollars. Not too cheap for you and not too expensive for her.

Because she is your aunt, don't charge her .But give it to her in exchange with something you really need.

Well, who can support you if not a family? Ask 1000 USD, she must know that it is mostly sponsorship, not a price for a painting.

I heard that you take the price of the frame x3. In this case though, I wouldn't charge her - she will probably offer you something and you should accept it with thanks. That way, if she ever wants another one she won't feel 'funny' about asking and you won't mind doing it (not that you would anyway). Just for interest sake, the land above the Hollywood sign in the hills is for sale so there might be a house (or something) there soon. The painting would then depict a historical period. Don't forget to sign and date it. Good luck with your work.
