You’ve given something great to think about
Thanks, Christopher.
My experience suggests amateur artists tend to charge too much. They should just seek to recover their material costs so that they can enjoy their past time. Emerging artists don’t charge enough, they tend think they are not good enough.
Ken, that is probably true. I think I undervalued my work when I was starting out.
