From an approach and timeline perspective, we will follow the below approach:
-
Initial consultation (30min meeting) to learn what you wish us to focus on and to select size and medium - based on the size and medium selection, we will calculate pricing (also available below);
-
Non-refundable deposit payment of 25% of the price calculated during the initial consultation;
-
Sketch phase (2-3 days) during which the artist will come up with a proposal that follows the guidelines provided during the initial consultation;
-
Sketch proposal (30min meeting) during which you will have an opportunity to fine tune directions - at the end of this meeting the design will be locked in (note: the deposit is not refundable IF the initial sketch is fully rejected and we need to start a new one);
-
Time to complete (7-10 days) - during this phase Marco will work on the artwork
-
Time to receive (1-2 weeks) - during this phase the artwork will be packaged and shipped to the gallery.
-
Pick up and final payment
