Prints or Originals?
9 years ago
Which tends to sell better?
Or does it just depend on the artist?
Like I've tried to sell prints in the past and I currently still have most of those prints. Personally I don't think my work is built for prints.
But I've been doing more painting. It's time consuming and if I were to sell any of the originals, they'd be pricey for sure, but in the long run, I'm much more happy and comfortable with any traditional work I'd make. I know the option is there to make prints of traditional pieces too. I just don't know how to properly scan/photograph things so that's possible. Plus I don't think paintings on wood would make for good prints...

I think that prints sell based on the artists. Personally I've only sold one print and it was for $15 +shipping and that was a long time ago.
