I just finished this two days ago and it's the first painting I plan on selling. Since I'm new to selling paintings I don't know what a fair asking price would be. How much do you think this would go for on average?

You fucked up your palette (google complimentary colors), your reflections on that gem are pure shit (google How to Render by Scott Robertson), your composition is leading eye where there's nothing interesting to see (google Famous Artists Course), your edges are sloppy (google masking tape and practice more) and shadow from your glass is just wrong (google some reference).
Overall: 2/10, go back to beginners thread.
Why is /ic/ so shit as of recent? Anyway time for /biz/ here.
OP being able to market yourself and know precisely the value of work (and more importantly YOUR TIME) is what makes the difference between professional career artists and the "lel Poor starving artist meme".
First determine your material costs (paints canvass and wear n tear on your brushes). If you really want to go "pro" get your LLC and order your supplies with a wholesale account. Buying stuff individually at a crafts/artist supply store is for plebs and will rape your wallet and profit. Second determine your hourly wage. Since /ic/ says you are shit I would pay yourself $15 per hour but twenty seems the norm.
(Cost of materials)x(time x Hourly wage it took you to complete the work minus drying time) = Your price for your painting.
This sounds cynical as hell to say but the truth of the matter is, it doesn't matter how good or bad you are as an artist. Obviously having professional work is important but the real key is getting money.
