YOU SHOULD KNOW!
SHIPPING
Standard shipping prices are not included in the prices listed. Delivery date ranges from 2-15 business days depending on where you are.
Currently Shipping within Canada and to USA.
Artwork will be shipped after the full balance is paid.
All artwork is protected with wrapping, and shipped in a custom sized box to insure a safe travel. I do my best to make sure your artwork is packaged for a safe travel, but will not take fault for damage of artwork during travel.
RETURN & REFUND POLICY
25% of the asked price for deposit is mandatory before beginning any artwork and is non-refundable. You do not pay the full amount until you are happy with the finished product.
All prices are in CAD. Artwork is to be paid within 7 days of completion unless special arrangements have been made ahead of time. Commissioned pieces will never be reproduced and distributed if paid within the time frame. After 7 days, the artwork becomes property of the artist to distribute as she sees fit. I will issue a written warning before taking this step.
PRODUCT INFO
Artwork supplies include professional prismacolor crayons, prismacolor markers, prismacolor waters, and lyra crayons to achieve high quality artwork.
TIME FRAME
With only 1-2 hours a day to dedicate myself to my artwork, it takes time to complete a project. All projects take 1-20 days to complete depending on what is asked to be done. Feel free to ask me if you are unsure.
Clients will be informed in writing via online messaging just before work on their piece is to begin and twice a week with progress photos.
*Rush orders can be done at an additional price.
CONSENT
Client has reviewed samples of the artist's work and understands the kind of work that she does and understands that they will receive something similar.
The client is to provide clear photos of loved ones for me to draw. I reserve the right to refuse photos if I deem it unclear. I draw what I see. If you think something needs to be tweaked, I will try my best to alter the existing piece to your satisfaction. If changes are requested, it is at the clients risk.
Client must provide photos that are their property or are photos that they have permission to use for this purpose (such as from a pet photo session with a professional photographer). I, the artist, will not be held responsible for a client stealing images.
Reference photos are property of the client, even in digital form, and will be treated as such by the artist. They will only be shared on social media by the artist with client permission (for the purpose of showcasing my work compared to the reference photo). The artist will not share reference photos without permission or for other reasons.
WHY THE PRICE TAG?
Here is a breakdown of why I charge what I charge:
- Mediums Used: Prismacolors, Lyra Pencils, Watercolors, etc are a very pretty penny but well worth it's professional ability. Most of my kits have cost me anywhere between $50-300!
- Paper used: Although I do use normal paper if I am only creating something small, 95% of my artwork is done on Fabirano Artistico warmed pressed 320 weighted sheets; which are about $10 a page.
- Shipping Materials: Boxes and other small material used to ship cost between $12-20. These figures depend on size of artwork.
- Paypal: Paypal charges ME 5% of whatever you pay me.
- Labor: When all costs are factored in, I'm really only charging myself $5 an hour. It is less than HALF of minimum wage in this province, but I love what I do and money won't change that. :)
