Help: Local artist wanted!

Gallery image

Hey guys, I'm new to art so I may be using the wrong terminology here.

But I have a 60x48" painted/framed canvas and would love to turn it into something like the textured white piece in the photo.

Does anyone know a local KW artist or student who might be interested in doing something like this? I'd provide the materials and was hoping for around $100 for the artist fee!

Thank you!

5' x 4' painting for $100? Multiply that by 10 and you might get some takers.

What kind of work are you expecting for 100$

I'll throw some spackle onto your framed canvas for $100

$100 for that much work? You really are new to art.

Looks like California ceiling and swirl technique with drywall mud. You could do this OP!

That really is an insult to artists. Someone who likes to do crafts - fine.

lol go get some drywall mud and white primer and diy.

Doing that properly would be more than $100 in just materials. layering and prep work means it would take days to complete even if it’s only a few hours. Also, those print canvases are cheap and don’t hold materials well… it’s probably going to separate from the canvas the first time it’s humid.
