Commissioning a Painting


Commissioning a painting means rather than you buying something I have already painted I paint something especially chosen by you.  You can commission a landscape painting or a portrait of a loved one.  I work with my clients from the initial order through to the finished painting. 

The commission process is easy and worksas follows (If you have any questions please to contact me).

1.  Choose your subject & canvas size.

2.  Get in touch by email, phone or use the contact facility on this websitet o discuss your comission.

3.  Choose your preferred support type.

Oil painting commissions are painted on fine art stretched canvas

There are 2 canvas depth types available:

a) 1 1/2 inch (38mm) depth box canvas (canvas sides can be painted so that framing is not required).
b) 3/4 inch (15mm) depth standard canvas (if you wish to have your oil painting framed).

c) It can also be painted on a panel.

4.  Place a deposit.

To secure your place on my waiting list a 50% deposit is required.

Once you've confirmed you'd like to go ahead, a deposit invoice is emailed to you. There are 5 payment options:

1) Online bank transfer payment, B.A.C.S
2) All major credit/debit cards
3) Paypal account
4) UK cheque or cash
5) In person at my studio

Online bank transfer is the easiest form of payment.

5.  Your painting will take approximately 6 weeks to paint with regular upates during the painting process. The start date however is dependent on my schedule and work load, but I will let you know this when you enquire.

6.  Framing

Original paintings, prints and commissioned paintings are priced unframed unless stated otherwise. If you'd like your painting or print framed however, I can arrange that for you at cost. Please contact me to discuss your framing prefernces.

8.  Outstanding payments hlaf way throught he painting proccess 25% of the outstanding balance is paid once your painting has been completed, I will send a final invoice for the remaining balance.

9.  Delivery of your painting.

Postage & packaging within mainland UK & International postage prices will need to be quoted individually, according to size and destination . (Framed paintings will incur a additional postage and packing charge due to the extra weight/size).
