If you want to commission an artwork, please contact me for an obligation-free quote. Sizes and costs can vary according to your individual needs but prices start at as little as $100. The cost depends on the size of the artwork, the number of subjects, and the medium used. I will be happy to work with you to find something within your budget.
Here are some useful tips for commissioning an artwork that may help you:
Here are some useful tips for commissioning an artwork that may help you:
- The quality of the artwork will depend on the quality of the photo you provide. The best photos are in sharp focus and allow me to zoom in closely to capture the details.
- The price of an artwork depends on the size and number of subjects (people, pets, objects etc.) in it. You pay for each extra person or pet included in the artwork.
- Large highly detailed backgrounds take longer to render and therefore cost more.
- Stretched canvas artwork does not require framing.
- Pencil portraits are less expensive (because the materials are less expensive.)
- If you would like the artwork posted to you and additional cost for postage and handling applies. Australia post has size restrictions for items larger than 24" x 24" so a higher charge for a courier service will apply.
- Portraits can take up to 3 months to complete depending on size and the number of subjects. Smaller portraits usually take 4-6 weeks to complete.
The process of commissioning an artwork:
STEP 1: Contact me to discuss your needs.
Discuss your budget and vision, etc. formal, informal, mood, setting, clothing, size, number of people, etc.
STEP 2: Provide me with high quality photos of your choice.
STEP 3: Finalise Portrait Details
When you contact me we will discuss your images and details of the artwork required. After details have been agreed upon, and your 50% painting deposit has been made, work on the artwork will begin.
STEP 4: Completion & Delivery
Upon completion of the artwork the balance is due in full prior to shipping or upon delivery. Your portrait can be shipped, delivered or picked up at my studio in Secret Harbour. Prices do not include tax, framing, shipping, packing, or insurance costs. Once the artwork leaves my studio it becomes the sole property of you, the client, so shipping insurance is highly recommended through UPS or Fed EX, an easy and affordable process.
