Commissions
Are you thinking about commissioning a piece? It’s easy. Let’s walk through what you need to know.
Examples of commissioned pieces. These live all across the U.S.!
The basics:
- You’ll send me a note saying you’re interested in a commission by filling out the form below. Tell me any of the following information: what size range are you interested in? Is it a gift? What’s your ideal timeline for completion?
- I’ll email or call you back as soon as I can. I’ll ask you for a photo reference (some clients provide me a spread and I choose what I think would make a great painting!). We’ll get clear on the painting and timeline.
- I’ll send you a written agreement detailing the commission description, painting schedule, pricing, and payment timeline. You pay 50% of the agreed upon price upon initiating the commission (I accept check, cash, Venmo, or credit card).
- I’ll get to painting, send you periodic updates so you can see the work in progress, and then – voila! Your commission is done. I deliver or ship to you (included with your commission).
Cost:
- Tiny acrylic on canvas paintings (up to 8″x10″) start at $350.
- Standard sized acrylic on canvas paintings (starting at 12″x12″) start at $500.
- Custom projects are priced out accordingly.
Pricing is negotiated per piece, because no two paintings are alike. Generally commissions run between $3-3.50/square inch. The cost includes all materials and varies depending on painting size and complexity. All packing/shipping is included.
Bear in mind:
I don’t do portraits, except silhouettes (trust me). I’ll paint structures, although they are tricky because of sooo many straight lines so I will price accordingly. I’ll even do the occasional dog. But if we’re being real, my best work is (surprise) landscapes.
