Commissions

If you'd like me to paint or draw a custom piece for you, please get in touch!  You can contact me using the Contact page on this website, or by using social media messaging.  Below is a brief outline of the process I use when approaching a commission.

 

CONTACT

In the first instance, you can enquire about a commission either by contacting me via this website, or by messaging me on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter.  Here you can outline your idea, including size, subject, which medium you would like me to use, your budget, and any other relevant information.  If your commission requires framing, please let me know at this point.  I will also advise you of a time frame for completion of the commission.

 

SKETCH

Based on the information you have given me, I will produce an initial sketch of the commission.  At this point a 25% deposit is payable. This will also include a proposed colour palette if applicable.  I will then forward this on to you to approve or to suggest any amendments. If you decide to proceed with the commission, the balance of the fee is due upon completion of the work.

 

THE COMMISSION

I will then commence work on the final piece.  You can choose to be kept updated with my progress if you so wish.  I will send you some photos of your artwork upon completion.  Paintings will be varnished and unframed, whereas drawings will be mounted and unframed, unless agreed otherwise.

 

DELIVERY

If you live in or near Whitley Bay, I will deliver the artwork to you myself.  Customers who live further afield will have their commission delivered via courier or Royal Mail Special Delivery.
Some examples of past commissions are shown below.
