The Commissions Process
SIZE
First thing is to decide the best size canvas for your custom project. If you are unsure the perfect size for your space, I’m happy to help you decide!
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, light, overall mood, etc.)
I appreciate any inspiration you can provide - what particular paintings or style of mine you favor (here is my Instagram for inspiration) as well as any photographs/landscapes/sailboats/locations you would like me to work from, Pinterest boards, color palettes, etc. The more insight, the better I can create a piece you’ll love.
SKETCH
I start with a few graphite sketches of potential compositions. Then I create a few watercolor 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 painting begins. At this point, Please allow for 8-10 week for completion of each piece.
PRICING
My prices for commissions are based on size and start at, with most clients spending between $2000-5000 per piece. Compared to my ready-to-ship collection paintings, they run about 15% more to account for the time spent putting together a cohesive piece that meets all of your custom wishes. I require a 50% non-refundable deposit to begin, with the remaining balance, plus shipping, due once your painting is complete.
