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.
