Okay, now give me all of your money! Did the joke land? I take a NO BS approach. Here are all of my prices based on experience, cost of materials, and general artist fee.

First time paying for a creative service? All of my price packages have a required deposit to hold the event date. Clients will receive the full payment quote once all details of the service are discussed in our phone call meeting.

Open to payment plans. All money talks will be finalized in the contract period. 

Classic Canvas Painting? You are in the right place!

NO BS Approach (WEDDINGS): I arrive at the ceremony to take the desired pose (spousal kiss, entrance, photographer's preliminary shoot), and then travel to set up at the reception where I will paint for the rest of the evening. I prefer to arrive at the reception venue 2-3 hours before the reception attendees arrive, but I understand this depends on the event schedule.
NO BS Approach (General): I travel at the venue an hour early to set up. I paint the background first and then the requested focus (attendees, birthday person, ect.) for the rest of the evening.

A fun favor painterly favor for your guests!

NO BS Approach: I paint as many guests as possible at the event, and deliver the leftovers to fulfill the required guest amount to you after the event date. If I finish the required guest amount at the event, I will not have to send over any leftovers afterwards. Do you want all guests to receive a portrait on event date? I’ll bring my assistant to guarantee I reach the required guest amount which will add a $500 fee to the desired package.
