Hey,
I have placed a random bid amount on the project. I do not believe that you will be paying any fixed amount before a sale is made. I am an artist myself and would love to help a fellow out. Please be sure to include all information, context, style of painting etc. in the briefing. I will accept the project once I can confirm if I'll be able to be of any advantage to you or not. I currently reside in Austria, which is a hub for artists and collectors of art.
Hope to hear from you soon. Wishing you all the best.
Sincerely,
Praveet Chandra
