Artwork Pricing Calculator
Take the guesswork out of pricing your artwork with this Comprehensive Artwork Pricing Calculator! A powerful tool for new, emerging, and seasoned artists, this Excel spreadsheet will help you organize your pricing structure using a combination of square inch pricing and a career multiplier.
HOW IT WORKS:
1. Start with a Career Multiplier $ and the size of the artwork.
2. Enter any shipping and supply costs and let the calculator do the heavy lifting.
3. Consider trade discounts or commission fees as needed to see your Suggested Retail Price and Net Earnings.
FEATURES:
Career Multiplier: Apply up to 3 different rates (canvas/panel/paper, specific styles or mediums you create in) to scale pricing, ensuring your final price reflects your experience, time investment and all those art supplies! For the Career Multiplier, $1-$3 is considered an industry standard starting point.
Base Pricing: This art pricing calculator automatically calculates prices based on pre-set sizes ranging from 4x4 inches to 48x60 inches. For irregular or very large sizes, simply adjust the dimensions.
Shipping & Supply Costs: Including shipping and supply costs ensures that these expenses are accounted for, helping you to price your artwork fairly.
Discount & Fees Section: Use this versatile section to apply trade discounts, calculate gallery commissions, evaluate payment processing fees (e.g., 3% or 5%) , and more! We're talking *clear* net earnings.
THE FUN STUFF:
* Adjust colors, fonts, and other elements to suit your style.
* Spend less time on calculations and more time creating!
Ideal for Emerging Artists, Art Professionals, and anyone looking to streamline their art pricing process. This detailed and versatile tool will help you manage your art pricing effectively, ensuring you cover all costs and maximize your earnings.

Fine Art Photography Lightroom Presets
Set of 5+ Fine Artwork Presets for Adobe Lightroom
Compatible with any version of Lightroom, including Mobile
After more than a decade of photographing professionally, this is my personal set of go-to Lightroom Presets for editing artwork and lifestyle shots of art.
A versatile mix of presets including:
THE STANDARD - Perfect true to color tones you're looking for.
BRIGHT & CLEAN - Nice, contrasty and crisp edits that are great for all sorts of artwork.
NATURAL LIGHT & OPEN SHADE - Love it for all natural lighting outdoors, in what is known as open shade. Open shade exists when you are in the shade, but still a well lit area.
Beginner friendly, these are easy to download/install and even easier to use. Simply click through and try them on your photos to see what works best for each individual artwork.
Try them all and see what sings! As with all photo editing presets or actions, your images may require some adjustments in the white balance and exposure departments (mainly) depending on your starting images. Different shooting styles and conditions will work best with different presets.
Due to the nature of this product all sales are final.
