Commissioned Art Work FAQs

‍ ‍

1. What types of commissioned art subjects do you work on?

I look for projects where there is a mutual fit between your vision and my style, interests, and experience. Examples include; pets, favorite vacation views, real estate, boats, wedding bouquets, etc.

2. How do I request commissioned art work?

Submit a brief description of what you are looking for via my contact page. I will schedule a no obligation consultation where we can discuss your project in more detail and decide if my art services are the right fit for you.

After the consultation you will be provided with a detailed proposal including a description of the work, pricing, and estimated delivery timing.

A signed proposal and receipt of down payment are required before work begins.

3. What type of reference images are needed?

Typically one or more well lit photographs are needed to create an accurate portrayal of the subject(s). Access to high resolution digital images is preferred. That being said, I have also pieced together old photographs to bring back cherished memories. We can discuss the best approach to achieve your desired results.

Arrangements can be made for me to take reference photos and/or do some of the art work on location. Costs associated with time and travel for these activities would be included in the overall proposal for the project.

I do not create art from copyrighted images, including photographs found on the internet of famous people, places, etc.

4. How much does commissioned art work cost?

Price depends on complexity, materials, size, and whether the final piece(s) will be used for personal or commercial use. We can usually find a solution that will work in your budget.

5. How long will it take to receive commissioned art work?

Timing really depends on the complexity of the piece and the art materials used. Drawings can often be completed in 2-4 weeks while an oil painting may take 3-6 months. We will discuss any delivery expectations during the initial consultation.
