7 Steps to Commissioning Your Perfect Portrait - This is a blog post I wrote that will help you make some decisions about your artwork. It's geared toward portraits, but much of the information can pertain to murals as well.

​

What to Expect When Working With Me - And here's some information about what to expect throughout the process.

​

INFORMATION REQUIRED TO PROVIDE AN ACCURATE QUOTE

​

• What size would you like your final artwork to be?*

• What is the subject of your artwork?

• Do you have a photo to work from, or will additional design work be required?

• If working from a photo, what is the quality? Is it a high-resolution photo or does it need to be touched up?

• In what artistic style would you like your artwork done? (examples include pop-art and photo-realism)*

• How will we be getting your artwork to you? Shipping and delivery will incur a fee, but you may pick your art up from my studio near Denton, Texas for free.

• Does your project require any special materials like gold leaf or sealants?

• In what medium would you like your artwork done?*

• On what surface would you like your artwork? (Certain mediums may determine the surface.)

• Do you have a deadline for your artwork?

*Additional resources to help determine these items are available here.

​

THE PROCESS

​

1. The initial consultation is free. We can discuss your project over the phone, through e-mail or preferably, in person. In order to provide you with an accurate quote, I will need the information described above. I may do a some very basic sketches or digital mockups to determine the intricacy of your desired style.​

2. Once I have a clear understanding of the above, I will send a Proposal that includes pricing and other information. If the price is acceptable, you will send back the signed agreement. 

3. If extensive designs are necessary, I may include a Non-Disclosure Agreement that must be signed and returned to me prior to commencement of the design work.

4. I will then send an Invoice for your 50% deposit. Payment options are listed on the invoice.

5. With the Invoice, I will send a Commission Agreement that outlines all financial and legal details surround the transaction.

6. Your payment of the deposit designates agreement to the terms held within the Commission Agreement. Once received, I will provide basic drawings/designs, if necessary.

7. When we've agreed on a final design, I will purchase any necessary items required to complete your artwork and I will begin working.

8. Throughout the process, I will share progress photos with you to ensure that the project is headed in the right direction.

9. Once complete, an invoice for the remaining 50% will be sent. If your item is to be shipped, these costs will be included on your invoice. If you prefer for me to deliver the item, a delivery fee will be included on your invoice.

10. When the final payment is received, I will provide you with a receipt and a Statement of Maintenance outlining the products used and proper maintenance of your artwork.

11. In many cases, I will record a time lapse video of my work and post it on YouTube. If I am able to do this for your project, I will send you the link.

12. For oil paintings only, these will be transferred with a removable varnish. This is only to offer temporary protection for the work while it is drying. A final varnish will need to be applied one year following completion. This may be performed by myself or another art professional. I will contact you when it is time for your final varnish.

​

ADDITIONAL ITEMS THAT MAY AFFECT YOUR QUOTE

​

• Design fee (rate varies between $50 and $1,000) may be assessed if merging of photos or other design-related tasks are required. No design fee will apply if your artwork is a reproduction of a single high-resolution photograph. Rate includes up to 3 initial designs and 3 revisions of one design. Additional revisions are available for $150 each.

• Design modifications or additions made after the design has been accepted and work begun, may incur additional fees, depending on the scope of the changes.

• If you do not currently have a photo from which to work, I may be able to arrange a quick photo shoot for an additional fee, provided that you are in my geographical area (Denton, TX).

• Additional subjects (human or otherwise) will incur an additional charge. The rate is fully dependent on the number of subjects. Please contact me for a quote if your project includes more than three subjects.

• Depending on the medium, surfaces other than paper or canvas (or canvas with a depth greater than .75 inches) may incur an additional fee. If you wish to have your project completed on a surface other than standard gallery-wrapped canvas, Bristol Board (thick drawing paper), charcoal paper or watercolor paper, please contact me for a quote.

• Artwork of subjects other than human or animal may raise or lower your price.

• If painting on a canvas, I generally paint the edges black for hanging without a frame. If you would like the edges painted to match the painting, an additional fee may apply.

• Pricing shown is for artwork done in a photo-realistic style. Pop-art paintings, sketches, cartoons, etc. may be provided at a lower rate, but a design fee will generally apply.

• Please allow a minimum of 60 days to complete your artwork. Rush fees may apply if your art is needed in less time.

• No additional fees will be required for artwork that will be picked up from my studio in Denton, TX. Otherwise, shipping or delivery fees may apply.

• Additional fees may apply if non-standard supplies must be ordered or acquired outside of the Denton, TX area.

• If resin or other on-traditional sealants are requested, a fee may apply.
