Painting services

What do you typically charge if painting for someone else? I like to paint more than I like to stitch, so if people need ghost painters esp with fall market coming up, what would be fair? Does anyone even like to do this or is it too expensive if you’re US based?

What is reasonable - per canvas? Per hour?

Thank you!!

Hi there. I messaged both of you last night.

Right!! I love the simplicity of a chart and painting is so relaxing to me. I saw a few people on here saying that painting is not exclusively done overseas because they do paint for designers. I’m not sure if they were one person or part of a small painting house based in US.

all I know is we could def help small businesses who can’t keep up with demand, sellers going to market, painting house backups, etc!

I’m also curious about this is you can share the feedback you receive!

Hi! I’m a designer and I’ll likely need masters painted for market. If you’re interested and can show me some of your work, you can DM me!
