The Commission Process
SIZE
First thing is to decide the best size canvas for your custom project. Do you have a preferred size or format (e.g., canvas, paper, print)?
INSPIRATION
It can help for me to see your space, either through photos or in person (if local), to get a feel for the surrounding atmosphere (wall color, fabric swatches, light, overall mood, etc.)
I appreciate any inspiration you can provide - what particular paintings/style of mine you favor (take a peek at my Instagram for inspiration too!) any photographs/landscapes/locations you would like me to work from, Pinterest boards, color palettes, etc. The more insight, the better!
SKETCH
I start with a few sketch options for your piece, to give you an idea of what I had in mind and make sure we are on the same page. Once I have your approval, the work begins. At this point, I typically allow for 10-12 week for completion of each piece (and slightly longer during the holiday season.)
PRICING
My prices for commissions are based on size and start at about $500, with most clients spending around $1000-3000 per piece. Compared to my ready-to-ship collection paintings, commissions run about 15% more to account for the time spent putting together a cohesive piece that meets all of your custom wishes. I request a 50% non-refundable deposit to begin, with the remaining balance, plus shipping, due once your painting is complete.
Please email me directly with any further questions and inquiries.
