How should I price experimental artwork that's less polished than my usual originals?

Price experimental pieces 50% lower than your standard originals of the same size. Be transparent by explicitly stating these are experimental works and offering them at a discount compared to your regular website prices. This approach serves two purposes: it allows you to test a new technique or style with buyers, and it helps you determine if pricing on your standard originals might be a barrier. Frame it clearly as ‘experimental’ and mention the discount relative to your usual pricing.
