Commissioned Painting & Logo Design

The fee includes:

• A one-hour consulting conversation about your vision.
• Series of preparatory sketches.
• Email communication throughout all the stages of the painting or logo creation.

For commissioned paintings::

• The artwork is created with inks, watercolour and/or gouache
• The size is usually 12″x 12″ approximately
• The best quality art material is used for the execution of the painting.
• The finished painting is delivered matted (ready to be framed)
• If you are looking at having a commissioned oil on canvas, I invite you to look at the prices & sizes of my original oil on canvas paintings as a guideline for the approximate cost + add 15% for customizing the piece.

For a business image such as a logo or any other branding visuals you will receive:

• Digital version of the artwork.
• Shared exclusive rights to the use of the image.

Please also note that:

• Shipping and taxes (for Canadians) are not included in this quote.
• The fee may need to be renegotiated if the co-creation is turning into a bigger project than originally expected. For example, if the painting requires a lot of minute details, if the client asks for an above-expected amount of changes or for any other unforeseen reasons. This is an extremely rare occurrence and it usually comes as a smooth agreement between the artist and the client.

ABOUT THE PROCESS

Here is how I work: We first talk on the phone/Skype about your journey and your vision so that I can get a feel of who you are and what you want. I usually ask that there is no deadline as I feel creativity does not like deadlines but if you have one I can work around that.

Then I make a few first sketches.

Only when you are happy with what is being co-created I ask for a 50% non-refundable down payment as a commitment. It is important that we both feel comfortable working together. It is possible that I am not the right artist for your project, sometimes it is me that doesn’t connect with the vision.

If and when I use the image created I always use it along with all the information about your business so that it is like an advertisement for your work. I rarely use the images I create for others but sometimes I have a strong connection to the painting created and I feel it is important that I am able to include it within the bulk of my work.

I look forward to working with you,

Gaia
