Incubator Success Story of the Week!
I sold a canvas print for $200, and then I booked my biggest commission to date. I booked a $3,500 Commission. He actually booked $4,400 total because he also ordered a 12×12 pet portrait and a 12×12 painting of a wolf for two Christmas presents as well. And it was the same size as one of the bigger pieces I’ve previously painted, but I charged $2,000 more this time.
