Client and business gifts: a hand-painted picture

To thank an important client, Giulia Dal Bon paints a picture by hand that speaks about them: their head office seen from the street, the city where your partnership began, your company logo drawn into the composition. Trained at the Brera Academy, she paints on paper or canvas, from 90 €, and the invoice is made out to your company. Free quote within 48 hours, two sketches included: you approve the design before Giulia paints.

What Giulia can paint for a client

Example of a hand-painted picture to give a client: Giulia Dal Bon painted the colourful houses of a seaside town in watercolour.
In watercolour, Giulia Dal Bon painted an old town running down to the sea.

Your client’s head office is a first subject: the building seen from the street, the hotel and its facade, the restaurant and its terrace, the shop and its sign, the estate and its vineyards. Giulia Dal Bon paints it from your photos, and the picture goes up in the director’s office or in the reception hall.

The city where the partnership began is a second one: the square where the office stands, the landmark the team sees from the meeting room, the trade fair city where you first met. Giulia paints one large view on canvas, or a series of small formats on paper that tell several places of the same story.

For an estate agency, the subject is already there: the house the client has just bought, painted from the photos in the listing or from the viewing. The house portrait page shows what Giulia makes of it.

Your company logo, painted by hand

Giulia Dal Bon studied graphic design at the Brera Academy and draws lettering by hand. In a gift painting, she can paint your logo on a shop sign, on a window or in a corner of the composition, in your brand colours, and the sketch shows you where it sits before she paints.

For a logo drawn entirely by hand and delivered as a file, the hand-painted logo page presents that work and its price.

Example of a hand-painted logo by Giulia Dal Bon: she paints a shop’s pink logo on its window, framed by mimosa.

Example of a corporate commission: Giulia Dal Bon illustrated the poster for the 83rd Italian Open golf tournament, with Turin’s Mole Antonelliana and the colours of Italy.

One client or several: the order, the invoice, the date

For one important client, Giulia Dal Bon paints a large format on canvas. For your best clients, she paints one picture per client, each with its own subject.

The invoice is made out to your company, after a free quote that arrives within 48 hours. A 50 % deposit confirms the order once the sketch is approved, the balance is paid at the end, and shipping is added at cost, from the country of destination.

The sketch comes quickly. After that, allow about a week between the approved sketch and the shipping of the picture, plus a few days in transit: the exact timing is written in the quote. Giulia paints all year round; for an end-of-year gift, write to her three weeks before Christmas, and give her the list of clients in your first message.

The picture your client receives

The picture arrives varnished, carefully packed and ready to hang, and Giulia Dal Bon signs it if you wish. She ships it straight to your client, from the country of destination. A painting made by hand is recognisable, and it stands out all the more today: your client hangs it in their office, and the place of your shared story stays on the wall.

For an evening with your clients, Giulia also creates corporate live paintings: she paints the canvas of the evening in front of your guests, and the signed painting is yours that same night. The canvas of a corporate evening starts from 900 €.

Your questions, before you order

What is a good gift for an important client?

A hand-painted picture that speaks about them: their head office seen from the street, the city where your partnership began, your logo drawn into the composition. Giulia Dal Bon, a painter trained at the Brera Academy, paints it from your photos, on paper or canvas, and the invoice is made out to your company. Your client keeps an original on the wall, signed if you wish. The picture is 90 € on A4 paper, and from 180 to 320 € on canvas.

What can you have painted for a client: their building, their city, their logo?

All three, alone or together. Giulia Dal Bon paints your client’s head office, hotel, restaurant or shop; the city where your partnership began, as one large view or a series of small formats; and your logo, on a sign or in a corner of the picture. She works from your photos and shows you two free sketches: you tell her what you think, and she adjusts. The picture is 90 € on A4 paper, and from 180 to 320 € on canvas.

Can the company logo be painted into the picture?

Yes. Giulia Dal Bon studied graphic design at the Brera Academy and draws lettering by hand: she paints your logo into the composition, in your brand colours, on a sign, a window or a corner of the canvas. The sketch shows you where it sits before she paints. The picture is 90 € on A4 paper, and from 180 to 320 € on canvas; a logo designed to be delivered as a file belongs to the hand-painted logo page.

Can the invoice be made out to the company?

Yes. Giulia Dal Bon prepares a detailed quote and an invoice in the name of the company giving the picture. The quote is free and arrives within 48 hours. A 50 % deposit confirms the order once the sketch is approved, and the balance is paid at the end. Shipping is added at cost, from the country of destination.

Can the picture be shipped straight to the client?

Yes. Giulia Dal Bon ships the picture directly to your client’s address, varnished, carefully packed and ready to hang, while the invoice stays in your company’s name. Simply give her the address when you order. Shipping is added at cost, from the country of destination. The picture is 90 € on A4 paper, and from 180 to 320 € on canvas.

Can you order a picture for each of your best clients?

Yes. Giulia Dal Bon paints one picture per client, each with its own subject and size. For a series, give her in your first message the list of clients, photos of each place and the date the pictures need to arrive: the exact timing is written in the quote. Each picture is 90 € on A4 paper, and from 180 to 320 € on canvas.

When should you order a picture as an end-of-year client gift?

Write to Giulia Dal Bon three weeks before Christmas, and you will have plenty of margin. The sketch comes quickly; after that, allow about a week between the approved sketch and shipping, plus a few days in transit, and the exact timing is written in the quote. Giulia paints all year round: the same picture can be ordered for a contract signing, a partnership anniversary or an opening.

Can you give a client the house they have just bought?

Yes, it is an estate agent’s gift. Giulia Dal Bon paints the house or flat seen from the street, from the photos of the viewing or the listing, and shows you two free sketches before she paints. The picture arrives varnished, carefully packed and ready to hang in the new home. The picture is 90 € on A4 paper, and from 180 to 320 € on canvas.

What if the company prefers to let the client choose the picture?

Giulia Dal Bon’s gift certificate is made for that: you give the picture, your client chooses the subject and the size, and the certificate stays valid for whenever they like. It can be handed over at a meeting or an evening event, and your client then writes directly to Giulia to choose what they would like to see painted.

How does ordering the picture work?

You write to Giulia Dal Bon with a photo of the place, or a description, and the occasion. She sends you a free quote within 48 hours, then two free sketches: you tell her what you think, and she adjusts. She then paints the picture, you follow the progress, and it arrives at your door, carefully packed. The picture is 90 € on A4 paper, and from 180 to 320 € on canvas, shipping extra.

What does the price of a client gift painting include?

The price includes the picture painted by hand by Giulia Dal Bon, your logo in the composition if you wish, the first two sketches, the finishing varnish and careful packing; you tell her what you think of the sketch, and she adjusts. She signs the picture if you wish. Shipping is added at cost, from the country of destination. The picture is 90 € on A4 paper, 180 € in 30×40, 240 € in 40×50 and 320 € in 50×70.

Who paints the picture?

Giulia Dal Bon, a painter trained at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan, where she also studied graphic design. She exhibits her paintings in art galleries, and the Corriere della Sera, Domus and Sky Arte have written about her work. She illustrated the poster for the 83rd Italian Open golf tournament, speaks Italian, French, English and Spanish, and signs the picture if you wish.
