Commission Process

  • A white wall with a colorful abstract painting, a white mantelpiece with blue hydrangea flowers in a glass vase, and a decorated round box.

    1. Initial Consultation

    After you inquire, we’ll schedule a consultation (phone or in person). It’s important that all decision-makers who will provide feedback are present, so I can gather a clear understanding of what matters most to each party.

  • Organization of paint brushes and art supplies in blue cups on wooden shelves near a window with greenery outside.

    2. Proposal & Timeline

    We’ll discuss your goals, preferences, and ideal completion date. The timeline typically takes 2–6 months, depending on how quickly decisions are made and the level of detail required.

  • An abstract painting on a canvas mounted on an easel in a grassy field with trees in the background.

    3. Deposit & Payment Schedule

    If you’d like to move forward, here’s how the payment structure works:

    25% deposit to secure your commission

    50% of remaining balance due once initial sketches and color palette are approved

    Final 25% due upon completion of the painting
    (Framing is optional and will be added as an additional cost to the final balance

  • Abstract watercolor painting with light beige and cream tones, accented with blue and brown vertical lines and rectangular shapes on a white background.

    4. Creation & Feedback

    I’ll create sketches and present a color palette for your approval before beginning the final piece. Throughout the process, I’ll keep you updated and welcome feedback at key stages.

  • Close-up of a decorative arrangement featuring a deep burgundy flower in a pink glass vase, a yellow-green jewelry box with a gold chain necklace and turquoise ring, a blue dish with colored rocks, and a colorful abstract artwork in the background.

    5. Completion & Delivery

    Once your painting is complete and final payment is received, your artwork will be carefully prepared for delivery. If you’d like framing, we’ll arrange that at this stage.

  • A painting on an easel depicts a pattern of colorful horizontal lines with vertical lines in the center, inside a bright room with large windows showing trees outside.
