All about commissions

Often times people want to commission a painting but are intimidated because they have many questions. Especially when it’s first time they are commissioning an artist.

I wanted to write this blog post to hopefully answer to the most frequently asked questions and explain the process to you.

I work intuitively so every artwork is completely unique and I do not create the exact same paintings.

How do art commissions work?

First of all take time to figure out what kind of painting you want. Decide which room you want to display the painting. Measure the wall of the room and make sure you get the right size of the painting so that it wouldn’t get lost on the big wall. An artwork needs to make a statement and make people feel something. If you don’t know how to pick the right size for your room, check out the post where I talk about picking the right sized art for your home.

Now that you’ve taken into consideration your room and the size the artwork needs to be, it’s time to start thinking about the painting.
Which colors do you want this painting to have?

If you are in need of inspiration, you can check out the available paintings and see if there are paintings that you like. Pay attention to the color palettes, the composition and the mood of the painting.

You can always find inspiration from Pinterest by searching the color palettes.

Once you’ve figured out the colors of the painting, it’s time to contact me.

The price

The custom paintings are priced based on size and the level of detail. A non refundable ( 50% of the price) deposit is necessary for me to start the commission.

Once we’ve agreed on all the details and timeline, I will start working on the painting.
I’ll be sending you process photos to make sure you are happy with the painting.

Once the painting is finished, I’ll send you the final photo for your approval and if you are happy with the painting, you pay the remaining amount of the price plus shipping.

SHIPPING

The painting will be carefully packaged and sent to you in a strong cardboard box. If you are local, a pick up can be arranged.
