HOW TO COMMISSION A PAINTING
PEOPLE OFTEN ASK me about commissioning a painting - so here is some information that I hope you will find helpful. Also - please feel free to give me a call on 07973860447 to ask for more detail.
I LOVE WORKING ON COMMISSIONS There is something special about creating a painting that is personal. My landscape commissions are often paintings of a place that is special to the person. My floral commissions are often of a wedding bouquet.
THE PROCESS I usually take a small deposit to start a commission. As I develop the painting - I send lots of process images and I encourage input from my clients. This ensures that clients are happy with the progress of the painting. I am very aware that you cannot KNOW that you will like a finished painting - when you haven't yet seen it. That is why the developing process is so important.
BUYING THE COMPLETED PAINTING My clients are under no obligation to buy the painting - unless they are completely happy with it. I think this takes away the worry and uncertainty about embarking on a commission. You can be confident that you are not under pressure.
ANY SIZE A commissioned painting does not have to be large and expensive. I am just as happy working on small paintings.
