Painting in Fountain, CO

Please read before contacting: Welcome, here are a few details on how we operate. Our goal is to create an A+ for you, this is a process. -All artwork seen in the portfolio as past work are the rights of the artist and in some cases the owner. Any reproductions will need the written consent of Michael Beenenga of Artistic Gold Creative Concepts. -We do not bid on standard painting or general construction. -Some projects require a design fee. This is packaged as 4hrs of creative time. This means that you can tell me your concepts/ideas and I sketch them very quickly, to make sure that we are on the same page. Once you like the direction that the project is going, I can either spend more time to refine the sketch, or go from there and produce the estimate including materials and some possible start dates. *The creative block in non-refundable. When we establish the design and if there is still time available, then I use that extra time as a credit towards the project. -If you have a quick turnaround for your project, then depending on availability, I may not be the right fit for your project. I have a calendar of dates that I promise to clients. Sometimes the customer tells me that there is flexibility, which means I can adjust for new projects occasionally if there is a block of time already taken. How it works in most cases though is a new customer is scheduled in the next available time slot. -If you have a budget for your project, then great! We can create within the parameters of your budget (minimum of $500) If you do not have a budget, that is ok, however, the price of a project goes up with detail and the need for more materials. -Once design is approved and the estimate is approved for the overall project I require 25%, 35% or 50% down of the total-then, depending on the size of the project I require the full amount remaining on completion or broken up over the duration of the project, and the remaining due on completion. -I share most of my projects on social media and generally tag the business if it is for the business. -I do live painting events, however I do not do live caricature drawings. Thank you! Please continue reading if you are interested in moving forward! "Where concepts become reality!" If you have a creative thought and would like to see it come alive, we are your portal to making that happen. We specialize in fine art, murals, faux finish and custom painting on nearly any surface. "I have created art with a variety of different materials and have worked with many different customers over the years. Generally, I begin by finding out what your needs are, then after we discuss your vision, I sketch a rough draft of what you would like to create, then we move towards completion." -Artist, Michael Beenenga I am excited to see your project come alive!

I am a skilled artist for hire. I have a versatile style that weaves color and happiness into each of my pieces. I have had the pleasure of working with many businesses, nonprofits, and foundations throughout the Colorado Springs and Denver area. I have the talent to create several different styles ranging from abstract to realistic. I take my craft seriously and really enjoy the process of creating beautiful works of art. I am consistent, organized and extremely timely. I look forward to hearing from you.

***Please read before requesting a quote*** *I am generally booked 2-4 weeks out, with occasional but few exceptions, so please keep this in mind for the planning/scheduling process* MURAL PRICING: I have minimum daily prices based on distance; these are non-negotiable for projects that take three days or less, but larger projects are priced differently. Prices may be higher depending on the complexity of the mural and the texture of the wall, these are just starting points. Distance from Colorado Springs(80907): 0-50 miles: $500 51-75 miles: $750 76-100 miles: $850 101 miles + : $1000, although at this distance I will likely be staying in the area for the project, so past the first two days it may decrease. OTHER THINGS TO KNOW: 1. I love trying new styles and things I haven’t done before, but I paint everything by hand, so if you’re looking for something spray painted or graffiti-style in a mural, unfortunately I am probably not the artist for you. 2. I provide all of the paint I will need (unless you specifically request to do so), and I will be happy to provide you a touch up kit for simple murals with up to 6 colors if requested. The cost of paint is included in my price. However, it is not specifically calculated per job because I generally have a lot of paint on hand from previous projects. This keeps my prices down overall, so my policy is not to leave any leftover paint with clients. I am able to leave all of the leftover paint from your project upon request, but please know this will affect the cost. 3. Any and all changes/additions to the design after agreeing on a price will affect the overall price. 4. I am happy to discuss your design as much as you’d like before committing to a project, but I require a non-refundable retainer fee before drawing up a custom mural design for your project. This will function as a deposit toward the total cost of your project if you decide to move forward with the mural. 5. Please remember that I am a human person on the other end of this that you’re communicating with! I will not be offended or rude if you end up choosing to work with another artist, but I would sincerely appreciate if you let me know if you decide to go in another direction after requesting a quote. :) I can paint or create just about anything - I’d be happy to discuss your ideas and help figure out the perfect design! Thank you so much for taking the time to read this - I look forward to working with you!
