A typical painting involves countless hours of research,
planning the composition & painting. It also involves getting frustrated
when your painting enters that ugly stage. Yes, all paintings go through that
ugly stage. Then after several passes of refinements it starts coming together
into a cohesive work of art that has feeling and expresses emotions.
The other factor is the cost of materials: Watercolor paper
$6.00 to $10.00 a sheet, Mat board for matting the art $15.00 to $20.00 a sheet (2 are
needed for a double mat). Frame - $35.00 to $55.00 depending on size or even
more for a custom frame. That’s just for materials, it does not count for the
time involved in cutting the mats and the actual framing including the dust
cover that’s added to the back of each frame or the hanging hardware that is
attached to the frame.
