I’ve recently started taking on commissions but in very structured and limited ways. Here is how it works.
1. I only take on three commissions a month, so they fill up.
2. The painting is made on unstretched canvas. This means you’ll need to get it stretched or framed once it arrives. This makes it cheaper and safer to ship because I can ship it rolled in a tube. I am also open to doing the stretching for the canvas for you but it’ll be at an additional cost and shipping.
3. 50% is paid up front up front to secure your spot as a nonrefundable deposit, and the other 50% upon completion.
4. Each piece starts with a digital sketch prior to any physical painting so this helps dictate a composition and color scheme.
5. Each digital sketch, while just a rough sketch is allowed two revisions to refine any concerns. All while understanding that the magic generally happens in paint and in the freedom to move as needed.
6. Keep in mind that my work isn’t about perfection. There are abstractions and color choices made along the way of painting that won’t be in the digital sketch. It’s about a mood and moment more than perfection.
If you are interested in moving forward given this information, please me via my contact form with the subject matter “Commission” and lets get things rolling. I truly love creating personal works that are meaningful to a couple or individual.
