I’m interested in a commission. How do we get started?
Wonderful - I’d love to work together and create a unique piece for you (or a loved one)! Start by emailing me and let me know what you have in mind, including the following details:
Subject matter (including photos - whether it’s a location, person, or pet)
Medium (acrylic painting or graphite)
Size
Requested date of delivery
Pricing will depend on the above variables, including complexity and estimated shipping (built into the final quoted price). If you want to proceed with the commission, you will pay a portion of the quoted price up front. (I accept Venmo and Paypal). I will send “sneak peeks” of the piece throughout the process and the final image before shipping.
The balance of the commission is due prior to shipping. I ship via USPS Insured Priority (unless other arrangements are discussed). You will be provided with the tracking number once shipped.
Okay - but what can I expect for pricing and turnaround?
Graphite portraits in the 8x10 size range generally start at $150. (Please keep in mind this is per subject). These generally take 2-4 weeks to complete. Acrylic paintings typically average $600-800 each. These usually take 6-8 weeks to complete. (Yes, I have done rush requests in the past - this would be reflected in the quoted price).
Please also note: Pieces are unframed. For graphite portraits they will be packed with acid-free backing board in a cellophane sleeve. They are done in standard sizes so it’s easy to find frames at any home store. Paintings are done on either cradled gesso board or wrapped canvas (with painted edges), so you may display without a frame. (Cradled gesso boards are also able to be displayed standing up for display on a mantle or bookcase).
