Artist Consultation Fee: $129.99

Each art project has a set up fee. This covers time spent via the phone/email with you, the client discussing your project. I use the time to gather ideas, research and collect the details from you regarding your order. It covers approximately a 1-2 hours: the beginning & end of the project not to be abused. The service is non-refundable. It is part of the art process. To avoid extra charges please email any photos needing to be drawn, painted or illustrated as well as descriptions, links an information to: haynesdana@rocketmail.com

Artist Subject:

In this area you will pick what type of art I will be doing for you. I have standard things I do for folks. It relates to skill level needed an difficulty of the art project. It's layout. It is half the time it takes an artist to do your artwork. Some require more thought, sketching etc. Obviously, some art projects are easier then others. Some more detailed. Require more attention. This is the layout, idea and design prepping charge an time. Clearly, Oil painting is harder to paint then just drawing a house with pencil. A portrait takes less time to sketch a design from a photo then a full scale original fantasy character. So this relates to difficulty of the project. I welcome challenges, but children are easier to draw the adults, at least for me. So, the price goes up with the amount of detail and attention required. A design for a small tattoo is easier then a large scale original design for a mural size painting. So this correlates to higher originality skill level a project will need. The prep time before the actual full out art begins. The more detailed something needs to be, the higher the price.

Artist Time:

Once the subject above has been chosen it's time to bring it artfully to life is the next step. This is the amount of time it takes the artist to do your artwork. In this section you will choose what size art you'd like me to do. It shows approximate length of time it will take to complete your project. Please keep this size you've chosen in mind while choosing the surface your work will be done on.

Art Materials:

In this area you will be choosing the style of art you want your project in. It is the cost of the art materials to complete different types of artwork. Visibly, some mediums are more expensive then others an you'll need to pick the budget you can afford.

Artistic Surface:

Keeping in mind the size you choose above and the art material style you choose, please choose the correct surface for your art materials to be applied to. Drawings, colored pencil, pen & ink and marker would need Drawing Paper. Watercolor its own special kind of watercolor paper. Pastel board is used for Pastel, Chalk & Charcoal work. Scratch board illustration obviously needs Scratch board an only comes in one size. You may have to adjust your selection above. Canvas & Canvas board are for Acrylic and Oil Painting. Glass is a material you would pick in a reversed glass piece of art. Mural hardboard is for Acrylic paint. So, look for the size you picked above an choose the correct surface within that size range. The size in Artist Time, an the size in artistic surface should match! No worries if you select mismatches, if you do you will be contacted by the artist an billed the remaining amount via paypal. That amount must be paid before artwork is released to you.

Matting

Matting is optional, but the largest thing I can matte myself is Sizes Up to 24 X 20. Do not choose this option if your artwork is on glass, canvas or mural.

Shipping Cost

Shipping cost can vary depending on choices above. Some of the larger canvas & murals might require additional shipping cost paid. I will let you know if that happens.

Returns & Additional Cost

This is a service, there are no returns. Time can not be refunded nor materials already used. While I will try my best to rework a piece of art reasonably to your satisfaction I won't continue to provide my time an art services for free. If you demand, or need additional artist time or materials then originally paid for, you will be notified there will be additional charges billed to complete your project. This is a rarity, normally never happening but there is always that one exception that an artist has to guard against. You will be notified before hand. No surprises.
