how much is a good price to sell an acrylic painting on canvas?

Answer 1

Depends on many factors. Quality of the painting. The artist, well-known or not. What price has been fetched for similar works. The size of the canvas. If you are selling, try ebay to see what people are willing to pay for one of your pieces, then you'll have some idea of your market. Perhaps post a pic.

Answer 2

Personally, I believe eBay is successfully DE-valuing original art across the planet. Everyone wants to buy something there CHEAP and half the time the buyers don't even know what they're buying.

Check your local galleries for current art prices. Find out who the artists are and how long they've been painting, and more importantly - how long they've been selling. The more we sell, the more people will pay for that reputation.

Acrylics are no different than oils or other media except for the public perception that it's an amateur medium - which is absolutely untrue. They are generally priced according to the size, whether they're framed or unframed, and often the prices fluctuate according to the community (a non-artistic community can't bear high prices, and a highly artistic community sees a lot of competition).

The bottom line - if someone wants a piece of art, and it fits their budget, they'll buy it.
