FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
-I charge $2.25/square inch for commission drawings and paintings. (ex. 4×4 inches = 16 square inches x 2.25 = $36). -Face painting is $60/hour. -Baby sitting is $10/hour + $2 for each additional child, and negotiation for holidays. -Pet sitting/walking fee determined by duties required. Note: I do not drive, I commute via the CTA so I cannot drive to/from locations. If necessary, I can commute via taxi/uber/lyft, but that incurs extra charge.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
It's fulfilling to me, so it only seemed natural.
- What types of customers have you worked with?
I've done figurative water colour/pencil paintings for clients, which is of the more structured work I've done. These are either portraits, busts, or full figures, couples, clothed and nude. I've had clients who are more loose and just tell me they want a painting for their living room at x-dimesions, and are not very specific. I have also illustrated a short story for a client, although was never compensated, nor the work published anywhere - something I would not like to repeat!
