Pricing

Current Base Price: $170 CAD
for canvases sized 10 x 10 and smaller, shipping not included

Artwork is very personal and something which I can't price based on canvas size or general subject matter alone. I value my projects individually, taking time to understand what each client is looking for and ensuring the price fairly reflects my devotion of time and labour to creating their custom piece.

Cost Breakdown

There's a lot more that goes into pricing a project aside from 'time spent painting'. I want to ensure your entire ordering process is a positive and memorable experience from start to finish - it should be a special and stress-free journey to have a custom piece of art made just for you! Consideration of the costs broken down below make this possible.

Although exact amounts differ from project to project, here's what I account for when pricing a commissioned piece:

Consultation	Prompt email responses, design/layout comprehension and completion
Supplies	Canvas, paint, other custom mediums
Studio Overhead	Equipment (easel, brushes, lighting), website and admin fees, technology upkeep
Packaging	Craft paper, bubble wrap, tissue, boxes
Delivery	Postage, travel to and from shipping facility
Company Costs	Applicable tax rates, business fees
Artistic Experience	Time spent growing and expanding my skills to provide quality custom artwork
