in louisiana i was in high demand and could get away with doing the portraits for 150$ a piece just for a single subject. since im an unknown in florida and have practically no customer base yet ive been doing them for 50$ a piece. ive only done 3 here so far. oil paintings i want alot more for i plan on doing 4-5 more and im gonna push myself hard through some galleries. id like to see myself getting in the thousands for my oil paintings. ive done some commisoned oil paint portraits in the 300$ range when i first started painting and its not worth it. the pencil portraits take 3-5 hours to draw. the paintings take 30 hours +.
