There are many factors why an artist charges a certain amount for their work. The size of the artwork, what medium is used and what is the artist’s experience and level in their career all play a role in determining how much they charge.

Factors that influence the cost of an artwork

There are many factors why an artist charges a certain amount for their work. Factors such as experience and level in the artists’ careers and the medium used are among the most common reasons behind the prices of portrait drawings. Another important factor to note when deciding on how much you should spend on a drawing is where the artwork will be displayed. For instance, if your artwork is drawn on paper, it might not be suitable for outdoor display and will cost less than if it were drawn on canvas or board material that can withstand harsh weather such as rain or snow.

The size of the artwork.

The larger the artwork, the more expensive it is. This is because it takes longer to complete and requires more materials and space. The artist will need to charge you for this additional time and any extra materials he or she may need to purchase in order to create a piece that matches your vision.

What medium is used?

A portrait drawing differs from a photograph because it is a detailed representation of an individual, not just an image. Therefore, the artist creating this piece needs to capture every nuance and detail in order for it to look true to life.

While there are many mediums available for use with portraits, some are better than others to capture the nuances of your loved one’s face or body. Some materials you might see used include oil paint, watercolour, acrylic paint, gouache (an opaque watercolour), pen and ink (or even pencil), pastel or charcoal pencils for sketching out ideas before applying colour—and finally graphite pencils for creating soft lines which can then be blended together using erasers.

What are the artist’s experiences and level in their career?

There are a couple of things that you should consider when looking for an artist. The first is the artist’s experience and level in their career. How long have they been doing this? How many people have they done this for? How many pictures have they drawn?
