I am here to answer your Frequently Asked Questions! If you can’t find the answer to a question you may have below, don’t hesitate to send me an email and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
HOW DO I CONTACT THE ARTIST?
Please click on the “Contact” page and submit a “Client Detail Intake Form”. I will reply via email to set up either a zoom meeting or phone call to go over details and client expectations. For basic questions or inquiries you can also contact me via email at: art.by.ashleigh@outlook.com or phone at 705-730-3017.
** I require a signed contract and $100.00 down payment prior to starting the artwork to contribute to the cost of supplies. The remaining balance of the payment is due upon completion of the artwork given the client is 100% satisfied with my services.**
CAN I BOOK A FREE CONSULTATION?
Yes, of course! To book a free consultation, please refer to the contact information above. I would love to discuss any artistic projects you have in mind and answer any questions you may have. I’m an open book when it comes to sharing knowledge about my work and can provide insights into pricing, cost of supplies, and the planning process for any project.
WHAT KIND OF PAINT IS USED FOR THE ARTWORK?
I primarily use acrylic paint for my artwork. Its versatility allows it to be used on a variety of materials, which is what I love most about it! It’s easy to blend and create beautiful pieces. Acrylic paint is also water-soluble, making it perfect for artwork on windows, as it washes off easily with warm soapy water.
HOW FAR DOES THE ARTIST TRAVEL?
I am based in Huntsville, Ontario! I will take bookings within an 80 km radius of Huntsville free of charge. Any location further than 80 km is subject to an additional charge of $0.90 per km travelled. Thank you for your understanding!
HOW MUCH DOES THE ARTWORK COST?
It depends on what you are looking for! For custom creations, I can provide a rough estimate of the cost based on the number of hours I anticipate the project will take. The more personalized a piece is, the more time it will require. Additionally, factors such as the cost of supplies will affect the final price.
**The final price will be determined upon completion; however, a $100.00 deposit will be required before starting the artwork to cover the cost of supplies. The remaining balance of the payment is due upon completion of the artwork given the client is 100% satisfied with my services.**
For custom window paintings and murals, I charge an hourly rate of $75.00. This type of artwork is done on a larger scale, and the planning process can be quite time-consuming, utilizing more supplies than smaller pieces. We will collaborate to draft a personalized design that brings your vision to life! I take these bookings very seriously and will not start the artwork until you are 100% content and committed to the design. Once the artwork has begun, it can be completed in phases if you wish, ensuring that the quality and expectations of the work meet your standards. I can provide a rough estimate of the total cost based on the number of hours I anticipate the project will take.

For paint parties, clients can choose the artwork we will replicate for a fun and personal touch. I charge a per-person rate of $50.00, which covers the cost of supplies. This rate includes everything needed for the paint party, such as paint, brushes, canvases, plastic cups, tablecloths, sponges, paint trays, and more. Please consider the cost of supplies, the time required to plan the lesson based on the age group, travel expenses, and the time needed to set up the space for the paint party.
**For paint parties, I require a deposit of $100.00 to secure the date for the booking. The remaining balance is due the day of the booking and varies based on how many people participate.**
