kamilla (mili) • she/her • 30 • brazilnature • folklore • rpg • birdwatching • tolkien • fungi • photographyEx-pharmacist and old lonely soul, since 2017 I've been working professionally as an independent art teacher and illustrator for people and companies. After much study and practice, today I work mainly with traditional watercolor, digital commissioned orders, drawing/painting classes and sales at art fairs. (I'm a also a handcrafter - do you like needle felted artworks?) Because I was raised by adventurous parents among camps, trails, forests and mountains, my greatest source of inspiration is the sacred Nature that nourishes and gives us everything everyday. I believe in its magic and creatures and I hope I can share this passion with you as I work in bringing your ideas to life. ♡

WHAT TO INFORM AT FIRST?• Feel free to provide me any details you think are useful about your idea. Describe the characters, scenery, vegetation, context etc. I love big texts, so if you feel comfortable, you can even tell me stories that are related to your idea, what touches and motivates you, your reasons for this commission.
• In case you’re ordering a traditional painting, if you have a size in mind among those described or not, you can let me know too. It’s important to mention that in our conversation it will always be possible to decide some details together. Count on my opinion whenever you need it!
• References are welcome - pictures, songs, movies, memories, landscapes, colors, environments, elements, everything you may have at hand or find on internet and that you believe will add a lot to the development of our work together.PRICES X SIZES• Prices are available in USD. Check here;
• The final price will be stipulated according to the level of complexity of the painting, materials and amount of time to be used. In your budget, I will detail everything with great attention and care!
• Sizes presented are some of the most common frames on the market, if you wish to frame your art. It is always possible for me to make custom sizes though, such as cards formats, bookmarks or any measurement according to the frame you already have in your home or the type of artwork you want.HOW ARE PRICES CALCULATED?• Production time (between creation and execution)
• Complexity
• Materials to be used
• Size of the art
• Search/study time (if necessary)
• Value, what means that:
- regarding physical paintings, you will acquire an artwork with the highest quality and durability (I explain in the topic "main techniques I use";
- your feelings, memories, what makes you happy, will be eternalized;
- I guarantee a real transformation in your life and a gentle but impactful presence in your home or wherever my work is placed;
- your feelings will be treated with all due respect ♡DIGITIZING AND PRINTINGLet me know if you intend to print your art. I’ll turn it into a high resolution digital file and make the proper configurations for 10% more.WHAT I DO?Basically whatever your imagination is willing to create! But here's a list of some formats I've already worked with:
• Standard illustrations. These include general semi-realistic portraits, pet portraits, landscapes, places, memories, characters, geek stuff, setting development, and so on;
• Art for tattoos, stamps, fabric printing, shirt print design, mugs and crafted products in general;
• Invitations and postcards or festive cards;
• Covers for books or any other written work;
• Illustrations for books with provision for all subjects and genres;
• Bookmarks;
• Art for labels and packaging.MAIN TECHNIQUES I USE• Traditional watercolor;
• Traditional drawing;
• Digital drawing/watercolor;
In my work I’m very adept to mixed techniques, which consists of mixing materials aiming at the greatest possible level of detail. In this case I use touches of gouache and colored pencils too.
Please notice: If it is important for you to have a full watercolor artwork, just let me know.MATERIALSAll my materials are made by renowned brands with properties that fight against mildew and fading by sunlight, for example. They are still delicate pieces, but all this gives my works a century-old or longer durability. Would you like to know how this is possible? I'll love talking to you about this technical part!PAYMENTPayment methods include PayPal only.
Upfront payment with 50% in advance must be made in order to schedule your art. The final 50% must be paid before I ship your parcel and/or e-mail you the final files. As soon as I can confirm in my account that payments are ok we are going to make the respective next steps.
The the PayPal 5% transaction fee is going to be included in your invoice.SHIPMENT• Shipping fee will be calculated individually for your region on the Brazilian post office system and the amount will be converted to USD. It usually stands between $20 and $30 depending on your location in this world. Tracking number is always provided;PACKAGEI usually ship my artworks wrapped in delicate tissue paper adorned with my personal touch. A hard paper plate is added to the parcel in order to maintain its stiffness. Final envelope is crafted by me with kraft paper, a rustic, versatile and resistant element. All the envelope fixing elements are made from ecological and non-toxic materials, such as liquid ecological glue, natural crochet cords and washi tapes (biodegradable paper adhesive tapes originating from plants). Every element of your package is recyclable, biodegradable or reusable, nothing has animal origin and I really value this matter! My recommendation is that all or some of those materials may be reused in your future gifts for someone, decorations or wherever your imagination takes you: there are several purposes and even tutorials for crafts about it!IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS• I don’t make copies of other artists works and you should never ask for something like that;
• I may do NSFW, but I will not do violence;

• You are allowed up to 3 free modifications in the final sketch and 3 more free modifications in the painting process. New modifications after these will be charged according to complexity. I can't guarantee big modifications in physical paintings, it's under the materials' limits;
