Welcome to The Painted Drake

An artist’s guild built on fair pricing, skill-building, and creative adventure.

Once, this guild was just a conversation. A question. A spark.

"Why do artists undersell their work?"

​

At first, we thought it was simply a matter of education—of teaching fair pricing and refusing commissions that devalued labor. But as we delved deeper, we uncovered something greater:

💡 Many artists undersell because they feel they have no choice.
💡 Those who price fairly struggle to compete with lowball offers.
💡 Even successful artists feel guilt for earning what they deserve.

It was never just about the price of art—it was about the artist.

Thus, The Painted Drake evolved into more than just a lesson in numbers. We set forth on a new mission:

​

⚔️ Our Quest: Empowering Artists

Rather than treating art as a competition, we treat it as an adventure. A journey filled with growth, discovery, and camaraderie.

🔹 Learn & Improve – Through structured lessons and guild challenges, we help artists hone their craft.
🔹 Know Your Worth – We champion fair pricing and self-value, ensuring artists are equipped to demand what they deserve.
🔹 Find Your Allies – The guild thrives on community. With real-time assistance, redlines, and discussions, no artist journeys alone.

This vision gave rise to BEEP, the guild’s dragon mascot—a beacon of encouragement, energy, and artistic adventure.
