A customer asked me how much it cost to make an Oil painting landscape size 4ft by 4ft
π π²: Rs 60,000 approximately ($800) π
πππππΌπΊπ²πΏ: Why is it too expensive? it's just only landscape painting.
π π²: How much do you think it would cost you?
πππππΌπΊπ²πΏ: Rs 7500/- ($100) maximum... It's just easy, right?! You can do it easily and quickly too because you know how.
π π²: hmm okay, maybe you can do it yourself.
πππππΌπΊπ²πΏ: but I don't know how...π
π π²: For Rs 7500 ($100) I'll teach you, with that, you can save Rs 52000 approximately ($700) You'll get the knowledge that you'll need. π
πππππΌπΊπ²πΏ: Okay, I'm fine with that. π
π π²: But to get started: We need some things first:
Oil Paint Rs ( 60000) ($800)
Pure raw Linseed oil ( 11000 ) ($150)
Canvas ( 5000 +) ($80)

πππππΌπΊπ²πΏ: Oh my.π£ But I don't have all these art materials. Do I need to buy all of that? I just only need one painting to make. π
π π²: Well with Rs 7500 ($100) I'll teach you for 2 art sessions so that you can make. π
πππππΌπΊπ²πΏ: Okay sure π
π π²: Okay! On Thursday, I'll be waiting for you to start doing this work, alright?
πππππΌπΊπ²πΏ: But I can't on Thursday I only have time today.π’
π π²: I'm sorry, but I'm only available on Thursday to teach you and other days are busy with other clients. π
πππππΌπΊπ²πΏ: Fine. That means I'm going to have to sacrifice my Thursday and give up my other tasks.π£
π π²: There is also another process for you to learn where you do not have to pay.π
πππππΌπΊπ²πΏ: Really? how?π²
When you pay for a job, you pay not only for the art materials, but also:
- Knowledge
- Experience
- Study
- Tools
- Services
- Time to go
- punctuality
- Accountability
- Accuracy
- Guaranteed
- Sacrifices
- Safety and security
No one can denigrate other people's work by judging prices.
Only by knowing all the elements necessary for the production of a certain work can you estimate the actual cost.
