About
Painting Commissions
I
can create a custom painting in almost any subject:
landscape, floral, still life, figurative, and, of
course, portrait. Because I use archival
non-acid paper and techniques, your commissioned
painting can be enjoyed by future generations.
Before you sign a contract, we discuss
general information, the subject, completion deadlines, size and price, photo
reference, and
backgrounds.
After we have agreed on a general treatment for the
subject including approximate size and medium, we
sign a contract, and you give me a non-refundable
deposit of 50% of the contract price. Then you will
provide me with high quality photos, un-edited in
any way. One photo should be the pose or look
you want and a few more photos for reference of
detail. * Click the photo to the left to see a
work in progress.
After approval of the painting, through photos that
I will send you, and after receipt of
the remaining 50% due, I will ship you the painting.
It will be on backing board and protected in an
archive clear acid free envelope and carefully
packed for shipping. It will include the
proper sized matting in a color I feel compliments
the painting. I no longer will frame shipped
paintings due to glass breakage and shipping costs
go significantly higher from weight.
Pricing:
Every painting is unique, so a definite price would
be determined by a number of factors.
This
is always my least favorite aspect of the creative
process, deciding how much something is "worth".
However, you need to be able to tell people up front
what things will cost so here goes.
I
charge $2.00 per square inch.
Example: A 10 x 14 painting would be
determined by square inches, so multiply 10 x 14 =
140 sq inches, then multiply 140 x $2 = $280.00.
However, if the painting is a portrait with more
than one subject, say a man and his dog instead of
just the man, add $60 for each subject over one.
This does not apply to things such as "street
scenes" or the like.
