I love painting waterfalls, I love landscapes, but what do you mean by style.? The way you paint that's different then other artists gives you your own style, you notice when you look at some artist paintings you know exactly who did it by their style, check out Jerry Yarnell, then Bob Ross, you can see the difference in their style, study other artist work and you will see they have a certain style, could be the colors they use, maybe one will do very detailed paintings, and another artist may do palette knife paintings.. you will find your style when you paint more, your hand movements, and the colors you use in your paintings will bring out your style, if you are copying me, you will pick up some of my style.. 😁

You can sign a painting you did from a book or tutorial,  just mention it's from a tutorial or book you followed, the problem arises when people take a picture from an art book and post it and say they painted it.  Imagine if someone took your painting you did and said they did it, but it was just a picture of your painting, that would be a big problem.

The way I see it the bigger the canvas the higher the price, if you price a 16 X 20 for $300.00, it will sell if the buyer likes what they see, if they don't like what they see you can ask $40.00 and they still won't buy it, it's the same when a buyer is looking for a piece of furniture they buy what they like and they will pay more for it, just because it's cheap don't mean they will buy that piece of furniture, so when you paint to sell, create paintings with color like red's and yellows, paint things that people remember doing when they were kids, like skating on a pond, playing hockey in the street, bring back memories, look up famous paintings that sold and see what you like about the painting, paint a town or country where you live and sell it to the people who live there, they may find a house they once lived in or someone they know. Then find galleries in that town and put the painting up for sale, take prints of the painting and sell the prints, the...
