Commissions
Hello! I am currently accepting commission work.
Here is where you can find all the information needed to request commission work and how it will work. Please read the content on this page, including the Terms and Conditions.
My commission process goes into these steps for a majority of commissions. If this differs, both parties will mention and agree upon it. We will communicate for approval for each one before moving on to the next step.
Sketch/Sketches
Blocked colour sketch/sketches
(Depending on the medium) a small painting studies
Final colouring
Framing if requested
Delivery
Before this, I will request any information needed to give a price and timescale correctly. This varies from the specifics of every commission.
I will need details of address/email address to provide a price quote to be sent for approval to make sure I have understood the details of the commission correctly and you to read the price, timescale and terms and conditions again.
After the price quote is sent, 20% of the total commission price must be put down as a non-refundable deposit.
Delivery and framing (if requested) are not included in the commission price and are a separate price column on the price quote and invoice.
Please get in touch with me regarding any questions. I'll be happy to help. :)
