π¨β¨ This is PRICE PALETTE, an app that helps artists price their artworks with clarity and confidence.π https://pricepalette.com/ π The pain: how do I price my art?
This question haunts almost every artist π΅βπ«π¨ Pricing is deeply emotional and surprisingly complex, yet most existing tools reduce it to size, surface, and materials. Canvas versus paper. Oil versus acrylic. As if that were enough π
π« It is not.
π οΈ I spent months building PRICE PALETTE by cross-referencing public art prices π and working directly with industry specialists π, asking one simple question again and again:π Would you price this artwork the same way the calculator does?
β
The answer was yes.
That is why it took so long β³ There were many learning curves, technical and personal π§ π₯ I had to grow into the person capable of finishing it π±I started knowing nothing. I ended up feeling like a slightly magical Buildy-weaving fairy π§ββοΈβ¨πͺ Pure grit.
π§© PRICE PALETTE goes far beyond materials and dimensions. The most important factor is your career stage πA beginner and an established professional should not price the same way, and pretending otherwise hurts artists more than it helps β€οΈβπ©Ή
π The app also considers size, materials, special techniques, framing πΌοΈ, frame quality, whether you already have collectors π€, how much you sell versus how much you produce π, and whether your primary market is a small town π± or a major art hub like New York or London π
β And more.
π³ The final number often looks high at first. I know that feeling well. But the logic behind it has been carefully validated by professionals who price art for a living π§ π―
π This tool is not just about numbers. It is about self worth. It is especially powerful for artists who are used to undervaluing their work and wondering why going full time feels impossible πβ‘οΈπ₯
π I would love this community to test it. Everything works on my end, but real users always reveal what you missed πPlease share it with artists who struggle to price their work and end up either leaving money on the table πΈ or charging without context π€·ββοΈ
π― My next mission is simple: get as many eyes and signups as possible ποΈβ¨
π€ Building PRICE PALETTE taught me a lot about perspective, about letting AI do what it does best, and about getting out of its way π§ β‘It also taught me to enjoy bugs and fixing them ππ§That mindset, curiosity over frustration, is the only winning attitude when building software, apps, or any product at all πβ¨
