they are really really goodHow much would oil paintings by unfamous artist would be worth?
They are worth what they would be as decorative items. If, for instance, you have a large landscape canvas, it could be worth plenty for someone needing that size, color and subject matter haning over their living room sofa.
It MIGHT be worth more, if a major hotel needed it hanging in thier lobby. A little less if they wanted one hanging in a guest room.
Of course, the quality of the painting can effect it's value.
How the paintings are marketed can make a LOT of difference. If some local, prominent gallery can be persuaded to exhibit your work, it may come to the attention of monied clientele, and fetch a better price than if you set up your own booth at a arts and wine festival. They can also be sold online, but people will tend to offer a lot less to buy such paintings without them actually seeing them in person.How much would oil paintings by unfamous artist would be worth?
The good thing is, you can set your own price for any original work. If you're doing renditions/interpretations (of VanGogh for example), then they are slightly less valuable.
I've purchased 20x16' original oil paintings on canvas for as low as $25.00 from an ';unknown'; artist --- and up to $400 for a larger 36x24'.
The best places to sell your paintings are at Art Fairs, usually located in a public park. You can contact your City Hall or your city's Parks and Recreation department to find out when/where/if they conduct them in your area.
There are also ';Starving Artists'; Fairs in some cities, where most, if not all, the artists are unknown... and unlike Art Fairs, it's usually limited to the paint medium.
If you have a ';set'; of paintings in the same genre, you can take them to local art galleries for a commission sale. Although you might get less for your paintings than the 2 ways mentioned above, you will garner more recognition from having 2 or 3 pieces in a gallery.
Classic Style is a poor descriptor. What it usually means is a boring attempt to make a photo by hand. I hope you mean something else as that kind of work has a VERY small audience.
They are not worth anything. After you have spent about 50 years getting some attention, you might be able to recover the cost of making a painting.
How many people paint? What percentage have the support of the marketing establishment? Less than 5%. If you aren't part of the 5%, your work is worth nothing in the moment. Keep working and pass the stuff along to friends and family. Give work to archives and libraries.
Later someone will cash your work. It is a little like minting money only the Government isn't looking for you.
Don't you have to get noticed for your work before you become famous ? Isn't it then that your work has some value ? Correct me if I'm wrong !
