The Commission Process

Size

The first thing that needs to be decided for your piece. At this time I am only accepting commissions 11" x 15" and larger. The best size paper for your custom project can be a tricky thing to decide. If you are unsure the perfect size for your space, I’m happy to help you decide.

Inspiration 

It can help for me to see your space to get a feel for the surrounding atmosphere (wall colour, fabric swatches, light, overall mood, etc.)I appreciate any inspiration you can provide - what particular paintings/style of mine you favour, any photographs/stories/memories you would like me to work from, Pinterest boards, colour palettes, etc. The more insight you can give me to work from, the better!

Sketch

I start with a few digital sketch options for your piece, to give you an idea of what I had in mind and make sure we are on the same page.  Once I have your approval, I will move on to the digital flat colour sketches so we can decide on the basic colours together. After all of this the ink and watercolour painting begins.  At this point, I typically allow for approximately 10-12 weeks for completion of each piece (and slightly longer during the holiday season.)

Price

My prices for commissioned pieces start at just under $200, and run about 15% more than ready-to-ship paintings.  This is to account for the time spent putting together a cohesive piece that meets all of your wishes.  I ask for a 50% deposit to begin, with the remaining balance, plus shipping, due once your painting is complete.

Request Form

To get started on your own custom piece, complete the form and I will contact you as soon as possible to book your teleconference consultation with me.
