How to Commission an Oil Painting
A clear conversation is the beginning of every commission. Here is what to prepare and what we discuss together.
1. Choose a painting or share your reference.
Start with the collection or bring your own idea. Let us know the subject, preferred colors and the dimensions you are considering.
2. Receive an individual quote.
Standard size prices are shown with each artwork. Custom sizes, composition requests and finishing preferences are discussed and quoted individually. All customs duties are included.
3. Confirm the scope and timeline.
Before painting begins, we discuss the agreed artwork, dimensions, finishing, expected timeline and how the work will be reviewed. The details depend on the commission.
4. Your hand-painted artwork.
We create the painting to the agreed brief, then arrange the finishing, packing and delivery details discussed in your quote.
Choose or share an idea.
Find a design in the collection, or share a photo, a meaningful place or an idea for your space.
Make it your own.
Discuss dimensions, composition and finishing preferences. Receive a quote for the work you want.
Created, then delivered.
We confirm the scope and expected timeline with you before painting. Each commission is individually hand-painted.
Can I order a custom size?
Yes. Select “Custom Size” after the standard dimensions on any artwork and tell us the width and height. Our team will prepare a quote.
Are customs duties included?
All customs duties are included. Shipping and any other applicable charges will be explained in your quote.
Will the hand-painted artwork look exactly like the reference?
The image shows the design reference. A hand-painted interpretation can have individual variations in brushwork and texture. We will discuss important details with you before the commission begins.
How long will my commission take?
The timeline depends on size, detail, painting, drying and delivery. We will provide the expected timeline with your individual quote.
Can you help with dimensions and framing?
Share the wall dimensions and your preferences. Let us know whether you prefer a rolled canvas, stretched canvas or framing, and we will confirm what can be provided and priced.
