The cost of a commissioned piece of art can vary widely depending on several factors, such as:

1. Size: Larger works typically cost more due to the increased materials and time required.
2. Complexity: Detailed or intricate designs can take more time and effort.
3. Medium: The cost might differ based on whether the artwork is in watercolor, oil, acrylic, or other mediums. (Erica Marin Artistry pieces are Watercolor Art)
4. Artist’s Experience: Established artists often charge more due to their reputation and expertise.
5. Custom Requests: Specific or unique requirements can increase the price.
6. Timeframe: Rush orders may come with an additional fee.

An important cost-saving option is allowing Erica Marin Artistry to retain the rights to produce prints, greeting cards, or other products featuring the commissioned artwork. If this is agreed upon, the price of the original commissioned piece can be reduced significantly, as it allows the artist to recoup costs through future sales.

For instance:

• A custom painting without reproduction rights may cost $200–$1,000.
• If reproduction rights are granted, the cost could drop to $50–$750, depending on the agreement and size of the piece.

This approach benefits both the client, who gets a more affordable original artwork, and the artist, who gains a new design for their product line.
