Absolutely! Commissioning a work of art can be a rewarding and enriching experience for both collectors and artists when approached thoughtfully. Here are some key benefits and tips to ensure a successful commission:

Benefits for Collectors:

Personal Connection: Commissioning a piece of art allows collectors to be intimately involved in the creative process, resulting in a work that resonates deeply with their tastes, preferences, and emotions.
Customization: Collectors can request specific themes, styles, or subjects to match their individual preferences, ensuring that the artwork aligns perfectly with their vision.
Unique and Exclusive: Commissioned artworks are often one-of-a-kind, giving collectors a sense of exclusivity and pride in owning a piece that cannot be replicated.
Supporting Artists: By commissioning artists, collectors contribute to the growth and sustenance of the art community, providing financial support and encouraging creativity.

Tips for Successful Commissions:

Research and Choose the Right Artist: Take the time to research artists whose style and previous works align with your artistic preferences. Look for artists with a strong portfolio and positive reviews from previous clients.
Clearly Communicate Your Vision: Be clear about your expectations, desires, and any specific elements you want to be included in the artwork. Effective communication is crucial to ensure that the artist understands your vision.
Trust the Artist's Expertise: While it's essential to communicate your vision, also trust the artist's creativity and expertise. Give them the artistic freedom to interpret your ideas, as it can lead to exceptional and unexpected results.
Set a Realistic Budget: Commissioning a work of art can vary in cost depending on the artist's reputation, the complexity of the piece, and its size. Establish a realistic budget early on and discuss it openly with the artist to avoid misunderstandings later.
Agree on Terms and Contract: Put all agreements, including deadlines, payment terms, and the scope of the project, in a written contract to protect both parties' interests.
Be Patient: Creating art takes time, and artists may need several weeks or months to complete your commission. Patience is essential during this process to allow the artist to produce their best work.
Celebrate the Result: Once the artwork is complete, take the time to appreciate and celebrate the final piece. Display it proudly, and share the experience with others who might appreciate the artist's talent.

Overall, commissioning a work of art can be a fulfilling and enjoyable experience for collectors and artists alike, fostering creativity, connection, and appreciation for the world of art.

We will send you a quote and, once agreed, a 50% deposit secures the commission.

The time scale varies on size and substrate. Time can be from 3 weeks to 3 months at a minimum but depends on the commission requirements. Due to the way we work (paintings undergo many changes and are composed of a multitude of layers), we will not be showing you the painting until we feel it has sufficiently ‘come together to make visual sense. We send you photos of the work. You love it and we finish it up,frame it upon request, and ship it to you. At this stage, we can either decide it is finished or we can make changes as required.
