Let’s talk about commissions!

Some additional tidbits…

My hope is that both of these options will provide budget-friendly art to all and allow me creative flexibility.

I do not require a down deposit, ever. You have the right to always say no thank you. I don’t consider work on any project a waste of time and fully believe that a painting will always find a home. By providing me with reference pictures, you give me the right to use them as reference for artwork in the future that could be sold.

If you like a style of another painting of mine and want to also reference that, please include that in your message.

I’m can’t wait to see your beautiful photos :)

When I started this new journey of selling my art, I thought to myself that there was no way anyone would be interested in working with me on a commission piece, that’s something only “real artists” do, and fear that someone might want me to paint something that I can’t do/isn’t my style.

Throughout my time selling at markets, much to my surprise, I was asked about commissions. I started saying yes and realized— wait, I love this!! I love taking a reference photo that is a place and space special to someone’s heart and they trust my vision, my art, to interpret it on paper.

I’ve got a couple of methods for painting a commission piece, so let’s talk about it!

The more budget-friendly and carefree option:

  • Submit up to 5 reference pictures below

  • Let me know what size you ideally want the painting to be and if you have a budget

  • I’ll send you an email letting you know if I am interested in painting your reference picture, estimated cost of the painting, discuss any size questions, and provide any additional information

  • I’ll send you pictures of the painting and you’ll have 14 days to decide if you would like to purchase the painting. Please know that if you want to pass on the painting, I take zero offense and you have not wasted my time at all! If you don’t want it, I will put it up for sale for others to enjoy

  • By submitting your photos, you give me the right to use them as reference for original artwork that may be sold

The more personalized option:

  • Submit up to 5 reference pictures below

  • Let me know what size you ideally want the painting to be and if you have a budget

  • I’ll send you an email letting you know I’m interested and we’ll talk further about the painting

  • I’ll send you 2-3 sample paintings (usually 5x7”) and you will let me know if there are any strong likes, dislikes, anything you want to be adjusted

  • I’ll make 2-3 more sample paintings if there are some adjustments that were requested and you’ll let me know what you think

  • From there, I’ll make the painting!

  • I’ll send you pictures of the painting and you’ll have 14 days to decide if you would like to purchase the painting. Please know that if you want to pass on the painting, I take zero offense and you have not wasted my time at all! If you don’t want it, I will put it up for sale for others to enjoy

  • By submitting your photos, you give me the right to use them as reference for original artwork that may be sold
