COMMISSIONED PAINTINGS
Portrait, Realism, Abstract & Surrealism
Prices
Many aspects go into the price of paintings. I charge for materials, size of the painting, and time spent (including details per head, body, background, etc). A non-blurry, well-lit reference picture is needed for a portrait or realism painting, as price also depends on the clarity of the picture for details.
Size of the Painting: A smaller piece (8" x 10") starts at $50. A medium piece (16" x 20") starts at $250. A larger piece (24" x 36 " and bigger) starts at $400. Prices increase and decrease depending on the amount of details.
Materials: I paint exclusively with acrylics. However, I love working with mixed media elements (i.e. magazine clips, dried flowers, feathers, ash etc), If desired these elements can be added at an additional cost, depending on the media used. The size of the painting may determine the type of brushes needed as well.
Time Spent: The amount of details plays a crucial factor in the time spent on a painting. Black and white paintings are less than colored paintings because of time spent on the details and shadows, as well as the fewer amount of paint used. The number of faces, bodies, and quotes also increase the time spent and price.
Quotes & Orders
After consultation with the client, I will provide a quote, estimated time frame of the painting, and statement of the downpayment. Clients are required to pay a shipping charge of $15 to account for shipping and handling costs of delivering a painting, which may increase for larger paintings and/or international shipments. All commissioned paintings require a 30% nonrefundable downpayment that will account for necessary painting materials and resources. Once an order is started, the day I receive the downpayment, an order confirmation will be emailed as receipt and will include the details of the order, amount remaining (shipping included if it applies), and latest date for completion. No work will be done prior to the start of an order. Throughout the duration of an active order, I will be in contact with the client regarding sketches, progress updates, and possible questions to ensure input, satisfaction, and a quality product. Remaining amount will be due upon completion and client satisfaction. If painting is being shipped, remaining amount will be due prior to shipment. Photos will be sent to ensure communication and customer satisfaction. Please inquire about commission paintings using the form below.
*Commission orders are non-refundable and cannot be exchanged. I can work within budgets and I do accept payment plans, but keep in mind that I do not do any orders under $50.
