When ordering a painting from an artist, everyone thinks how much it costs. Strange as it may seem, artists call the price, which is often frightening. Let me try to tell you why it is so expensive. By some strange coincidence of circumstances since the time of “Sovok”, artists are considered parasites and drunks.
It happens … but it is not! So let’s talk about the price. – the price of the canvas (you probably want it to be good and of high quality), – the price of paints (after all, a portrait should not be yellow, but with many shades, as in life) – brushes (an artist needs more than one brush, but different in shape, size, and material), brushes are erased from the canvas and over time new ones need to be purchased. – thinners (turpentine, white spirit, varnish, oil), does this tell you something?
And the artist uses this for oil painting. Conclusion: materials also add value to the picture.
