One of my younger artist friends had asked me today whether or not she should frame her work before selling it? Or is there a possibility she could sell them without a frame?
She did some of her artworks on flat canvas (canvas panel) and others on Bristol Board (this is an uncoated, machine-finished paperboard that is thicker than paper, for anyone who doesn't know).
It is going to cost her a lot if she wants to frame them like $80 for a 9" X 12" and it keeps going up to about $175 close to $200 :unhappy:. It would cut greatly into how much she intends on selling her work for. I suggested raising the price to cover the framing expense but she felt it was unfair to do so, since it would be over-charging for what her artwork is really worth to her.
So what do you think? Can she sell her artwork without a frame?:vs_worry:
