Overhead & Profit

The time plus materials method accounts for more than just your hours and paint. It includes overhead... the cost of having an art practice at all... and a Growth Multiplier, which is your profit margin on top of those costs.

If you are not accounting for overhead in your pricing, your work is subsidizing your practice instead of sustaining it. If you are not applying a growth margin, you are covering costs but not building anything.
