Question 4

Do you ship outside the USA?

Accepted Answer

At this time we are NOT shipping outside the US. Sorry for that inconvenience.

Question 5

What kind of paint do you use?

Accepted Answer

We use acrylic paint for all products. It is permanent on your clothes, so wear an apron or clothes you don't mind getting paint on. 
I use different kinds of brands, whatever paint you have at home would work.

Here are the brands that I use (optional)
Craft paint:
-Crafters Collection (Hobby Lobby's brand) ($.49 each) really economical 
-DecoArt Americana (you can get this at all craft stores (Hobby Lobby, Michaels, and Joanns)
-Folk Art (you can get this at all craft stores (Hobby Lobby, Michaels, and Joanns) (this is the most expensive for craft paint. At Hobby Lobby its $1.17 a bottle.

I try to use similar colors, so when you buy the paint for the first time, it should last you awhile. So you dont have to keep buying new paint every time you create something new.
When we do more landscape paintings,  I do use Master's Touch fine art paint occasionally. With that type of paint, a small amount is enough.

Let me know if you any questions on kinds of paint being used!

What kind of brushes do you use?

Accepted Answer

I use all kinds of brushes, I get most of them from Amazon. I have also gotten some fine art brushes at Hobby Lobby. I do like the Royal & Langnickel brushes, especially the ones that a grip.

Question 11

What about your private parties, what do they cost?

Accepted Answer

Private Parties range in cost depending on how far I have to drive. The cost also depends on if you want to paint on a canvas or do a wood piece.
Here is the breakdown:
-Private Parties that are local within 10-15 miles of Central Oregon(Bend or Redmond), that want either 11x14in or 16x20in canvas are $35/ per person. You must have a minimum of 8 people attending. There not refunds. 
-Private Parties that are outside of the 10-15 miles range of Central Oregon(La Pine, Madras or Sisters), that want either 11x14in or 16x20in canvas are $45/ per person. You must have a minimum of 10 people attending. There not refunds. This prize goes up because of gas prices. 
-There is a $100 deposit that is due at least 1-2 weeks from the party date. That deposit will lock in the day on my calendar. 
-If you are wanting a wood piece, those prices change depending on what it is and how heavy it is. Wood prices right now are slightly high. 
-If you need to cancel the party, please try to do that at least 3-5 days before that date. The $100 deposit is non-refundable, however, you can reschedule the party to a different day and time. If you do that, then you do not need to pay another deposit of $100.
-For both paint parties and private paint parties, I need access to water and good lighting. 
-You must be able to set up your own tables for the amount of guests that attend. I do use my own tablecloths so there wont be any paint on the tables.
-I will come 1 1/2-2 hours to set up, so please keep that in mind when your setting up. 
-If you have any pets, please make sure they are away from the painting area.

Question 12

How long do paint parties run?

Accepted Answer

This will depend on what theme was chosen and what size the painting will be. The typical time is 2-2 1/2 hours. If we are doing a more in depth painting, such as a Highlander Cow, this will take 3 hours because of all the layering of the hair.
