How to commission a
picture
This will vary depending on the nature of the
commission. For a straight forward A4 drawing of
someone's pet it can be as simple as posting or emailing me a clear photograph.
I then produce the picture, email it to the client for approval, accept payment
& post the picture off to the client.
For a larger more expensive commission this would usually
involve meeting the client to discuss the picture and take my own photographs. Below is a general guide as to the commissioning process.
The first stage is either to email me or
preferably to give me a call to discuss the picture that you have in mind.
From here we will establish as to whether or not a meeting is necessary or
practical.
The second stage is to establish the size of the
picture & the medium used to produce it. We will then discuss the composition.
If no meeting is to take place the client will need to
provide me with clear photographs of the subject. From these I will
produce a rough composition indicating the size, medium & price of the finished
picture. Upon approval of this by the client I will then begin work on the
picture upon receipt of a 25% deposit. (see below for more information on
price & payment methods)
If a meeting has been arranged I will look at any
photographs the client may have & take my own pictures if necessary. The client
will then be provided with a rough as above.
The final stage is the approval of the finished
picture by the client. This will be either by email or a viewing of the work. Upon acceptance of the finished picture the
remaining balance
will then be paid by the client. The picture will then be delivered to the
client by the most appropriate means.
