I am just describing what the market will pay for

you could paint the same image with gouache on a four foot square paper, and the same image with oils on a 4 foot square canvas and the art market will pay triple or quadruple for the oil painting as opposed to the watercolor. that's just how it is. I was not being patronizing at all, just talking. of course that does not mean it is worth 4 times more, but that people are willing and ready to pay four times more for an oil as opposed to a watercolor. Durability is a big factor I guess.

that's just how it has seemed to me in my going on 20 years involved in making and selling art.
