Two versions of the same picture, and both are free with no account and no watermark. The first has no background at all, which is the one to send your artist — but a phone or computer photo viewer set to dark will show black strokes on dark grey and it can look like nothing downloaded. If that happens, use the second one: identical characters on a plain white background. Either way you get the characters on their own — the square and the faint guide lines you see above are not in the file. Each character is 1000px, so a two-character download is 2000×1000, and the script and layout are the ones you picked.

Same in both
Layout
Rubbing mode: white on black, as a stone rubbing. The download is unaffected.
A natural spring, water rising from the ground clean and cold.
Before you commit
Choose with care泉 also means a source or origin in general, including the phrase for the underworld, literally the yellow springs. Context does the work.
Pairs well with泉源 means the source or wellspring of something, and reads naturally as an origin rather than plumbing.
At small sizesNine strokes, vertically stacked and balanced. Suits a narrow placement such as a forearm or spine.
Meaning
A spring; a source of water from the ground.
White over water in its written form, which reads as clarity.

What to do next
Pick the script and layout you want above, download the PNG, and send that file to your artist. Ask them to work from the file rather than redrawing the character freehand — that is where strokes go missing.
