If you
would like a special piece of artwork, perhaps a painting to remind
you of an experience or as a gift for someone with a particular
interest, read this section and contact me to discuss any painting
ideas that you may have.
- Subject
- Design (communicate
every detail of any specific ideas you have)
- Dimensions
(if it needs to fit a particular space)
- Budget
- Time scale
(whether there is a deadline for the completion of the painting)
Prices are slightly
above those of my existing originals. If your requirements are urgent
there will be an extra premium. You should look at some of my paintings
that fall within your budget as a basis for your expectations. My
commissions start at around £850.
| Prices
vary according to the following: |
|
- the extent of fieldwork
and research preparation required
- the complexity of
the design
- the amount of detailed
brushwork
- how flexible you can
be with the deadline.
- any extra expenses
likely to be incurred
I try my best to work
within the budget but please note that on completion of a commissioned
painting I reserve the right to offer it at a price that I judge
reflects the work I've done.
The "on
the easel" webpage is often used to share the creative process
with my clients. Customers follow the progress of their commission
on-line and are sent an e-mail whenever the page has an updated camera
shot of their artwork. This idea is proving very popular and printing
out the development stages from the webpage adds a little extra to
the provenance of the finished painting.
If
you have selected me to paint a commission for you I appreciate
it very much, but it is important that I too feel positive about
the idea.
I ask myself the following
questions when considering a proposal:
- Can I create a worthy
result?
- Is the subject matter
familiar to me or will I be able to study it or find helpful source
material?
- Am I inspired?
- Am I provided with
a suitable time scale to accommodate my existing commitments?
If I accept a commission
and feel that the subject matter is not too specialist I would be
happy to work up a painting and show it to you for approval. Initially
I would send a quality e-mail image and then a 5 x 4 inch transparency
by post. If for whatever reason the painting did not meet your requirements
there would be no obligation
to take things any further and I would simply add the work to my
next exhibition. If you chose to buy the painting my normal terms
and conditions would apply. View details on my wildlife
art for sale page.
With a commission of
a more specialist nature I might have to insist on a deposit before
I begin work and payment for the finished painting.
Please
note that the painting I produce will never be exactly the image
that you are visualizing, but I aim to please.
