We are doing a stall at the school fete in a weeks time. My friend Cecile suggested that I paint a series of small canvases and sell them at the fete as a test. Good idea I think and bought 20 x 25 cm canvases. These are small but not minuscule.
Since they are small they shouldn't take long and therefore can be priced low, right? Wrong! Even with small canvases, there needs to be planning and perspective etc. You save on paint I guess and time taken to cover larger areas but really no saving on composition and colour mixing.
The good thing is they serve as a test bed for ideas before launching into a larger canvas. The term 'study' comes to mind. I took about 90mins for each one. How much should I sell them for?
