After a Custom Piece?

Commissions can be perfect for people who have a specific painting in mind that they want to make a reality. I enjoy hearing all sorts of custom requests and ideas!

A little about my workflow:

When you come to me with an idea and the size that you have in mind I first see if it is something that I am able to do. I am quite specific with the work that I take on to ensure that I am able to deliver my best quality work.

Reference photos are not necessary but can be useful to explain what you’re looking for. If you have a photo which you would like me to directly work from, it would be ideal for it to be a high quality image to get the best level of detail.

Before any payment is made, I put together a composition by stitching together photos. This is both to give the client a visual representation of how the painting will look as well as to give myself something to work from.

Once the design has been agreed upon, a 20% deposit is made to cover cancellations and to confirm your place on the waiting list ( if there is one at the time of purchase and you will be indicated a timeframe).

Timeframe:

Commissions can take anywhere from 2-8 weeks depending on the difficulty, size and level of detail involved. The best estimate can be given once the piece is underway.

I try my very best to stay within these timeframes but you will be notified if there are any delays.

I send updates throughout the process to make sure that you’re happy with the progression of the painting.

Postage:

I ship using FedEx and packaging and postage costs are covered by the buyer. Postage costs for UK deliveries are around £20-30 and International deliveries anywhere between £40-80. Deliveries to the US previously have been around £45 for east coast and up to £60 for central/west coast. If you would like to know a more specific estimate before buying you can give me your name, address, postcode and the size of painting that you want and I can give you a better estimate for your region.

Upon completion of the painting I will send photos of the finished piece as well as the final invoice for the balance payment and postage costs. Postage usually takes between 1-5 days. I always go with the most affordable option but if the buyer would like express delivery they can request this.

Returns:

Since commissions are custom pieces, returns are not accepted.
