Interested in a commission?
Many people might find the thought of commissioning a piece of art for their home quite overwhelming - where do you begin, right?!
Below is a summary of the full process, just to make things clearer.
Every piece I do is different, because it is designed around the individual client and their home and style.
1. Price List
Upon any enquiry, you can ask me for a price list which I will send to you.
These prices are based on readily available ‘standard’ canvas sizes. If you would like to commission a certain size that isn't on the price list, I can send quotes for that specific size.
Each canvas price varies on size, framing, and if postage is required.
2. Initial Consultation
The process of the initial consultation is completely free. Every piece, and every client is different. I've had clients who have a very clear idea of what they want, and others who need more of a design lead from me as to what will look good in their chosen room. I can provide ideas or colours and styles, and suggestions on sizing if you aren't sure what will work. I've also had clients who want me to view the space beforehand and give my initial thoughts, which can be useful.
3. Design Lead & Colour Palette
I ask clients to send a palette through of their desired colour scheme and the room which the art will be going into. If you aren't sure of what you want, I am happy to suggest ideas. I then work up a mood board for us to agree on. I focus very much on the 'art for interiors' theme, and think its so important to take inspiration from the interior furnishings, decor and style to influence a piece, and to make sure the finished painting will be cohesive to its environment. Every client style is different, from minimal and scandi to super eclectic, I'll make sure it fits into your space and style.
If there is any subject matter you'd like me to incorporate, I can do that too. I've had people ask if I can incorporate abstract versions of particular towns or cities, or qualities from their gardens or specific flowers. Anything goes - be creative! This can add another nice bit of personalisation to the piece.
4.Lead times
Paintings usually take around 8 - 14 weeks to complete once started. Framing can add an additional 2-3 weeks onto this time. If you would like the painting for a specific deadline, then please let me know and I’ll do my best to make the painting ready for this time. I always suggest getting in touch at least 3- 4 months before you would like to receive your painting.
5.Payment
Once we agree on the size and design for the painting, I ask for 50% deposit upon initial commission, and 50% upon completion of the painting.
6. The Painting Process / Finalising
I'll notify you when I am starting the piece, and will work it up to a point I feel happy with. I just do my thing really, and this can take from as long as a few days to a few weeks/months.
I'll send you pictures, talk you through what I've done, and then ask for your feedback. I can tweak colours, add more and take away to suit your requests. This means I can tweak the painting until you are happy with it and we can work together to get something you really love.
7. Framing
Framing price can vary on the style and finish chosen. I am happy to provide suggestions if you aren’t sure what will compliment your painting best. We have (quite literally) hundreds of options to choose from so if you have something in particular in mind don’t hesitate to ask.
8. Postage
When the painting has been finalised and you are sure you love it, I'll then ask for final payment and will send it out. All postage is tracked and insured to make sure your piece gets to you safely. You will get updates of the paintings arrival. Postage within the UK is included in the final price. Postage outside the UK will be an additional charge.
