Large or small paintings

It is well known that landscapes sell best. But what sizes sell best? Smaller paintings sell well because they are less expensive and they take up less space on the wall.


Large paintings are easier to paint than smaller ones. There's more room in larger paintings to draw and paint especially when it comes to detail. You can use larger brushes that get better results than smaller ones. But your large painting might not sell.


One solution is to paint the larger painting, then paint a smaller one just like it. That way all the bugs get ironed out on the larger one and it becomes easier to paint the smaller painting, which may sell. If the larger one sells, it's a bonus. Or you can keep it for yourself.


As for me, I prefer larger paintings that knock you out the moment you enter a room.
