[A recent commission that was a gift from one sister to another...] Okay, so the word "EVER" might be a slight exaggeration here, but I wanted to get your attention, and here's why: I think that one of the best gifts you can give someone is a personalized, meaningful piece of art. I may be biased, since I am an artist and I do sell my art, but you guys, what says "I adore you" more than a meaningful, one-of-a-kind painting, created especially for someone you love? That's right--nothing. Because custom paintings are THE BEST. If you haven't thought ahead to the holidays yet, I don't blame you. I haven't either. However, I hate to be the one to break it to you, but if you want to commission a special painting as a gift, now's the time to be thinking about it. [Sigh.] I know that the phrase "commission a painting" sounds scary, but I promise, it's not. So, to make things as easy as possible, I've created 3 special holiday packages for custom paintings. Each price point listed below includes a ready-to-hang painting (except watercolor, which comes matted but will need to be framed), and includes all extra charges, including time spent consulting about the subject matter, sketches, and pre-planning. The packages available are as follows: Pretty straightforward, right? In order to receive your custom painting by December 20th, please place your order no later than November 1st. I may be able to take holiday orders after that, but if you want to receive your order by a specific date, there may be an extra charge for the quick turnaround time. [Please note that shipping is not included and varies between $8-15, depending on painting size.] Here are 3 easy steps to commissioning a painting: Step 1. Decide what you want painted for your loved one. Some commonly requested commissions/ideas:
Step 2. Pick a size and medium.This can be determined by your budget or what you think will fit best with your subject matter. If you're not sure what medium (i.e. type of paint/materials) would be best, I can help you decide based on what you want painted! Just email me. Examples of paintings in each medium offered can be found at the links below: Step 3. Email me with your order (+ send me any inspirational materials).Easiest part of all! Inspirational materials = photographs, links to images online, pinterest board, list of colors, etc.
To learn more about my commission process, check out my commission info page. If you already know what you want painted, you can go ahead and pay your deposit (and secure your spot in my holiday lineup!) here. I'll email you to get more details once I receive your deposit. I look forward to helping you create one of the most unique, meaningful gifts you've ever given! ;) Comments are closed.
