Where you hang the work in the house effects content, size, and decor of the room. Please note some artwork types are more sensitive to sunlight than others for the sake of longevity.

Please provide a rough height, and width in centimetres. Then, I will work out the purchase of canvas or paper in this size. Please note a size effects a time and cost. Generally, smaller works cost less, and larger cost more. Larger works are also harder to post.

Please think about why you want the work and what is it you are passionate about depicting in this artwork. This artwork may become one of your proudest possessions, so make it unique and special.

Generally, I will need images to draw or paint from, and a collection of images is ideal. Please make sure any images gathered are good quality if possible. Sketches of ideas will also be okay for some artworks.

Consider if you want a painting on canvas or a work on paper. I do pastels and gouache and mixed media for paper. I do oils and acrylic for canvas. Best to look at my artworks to get an understanding of the mediums. Please note the chosen medium will impact a time and cost estimate.

If the work is intended as a gift and you want if for a certain date and time (e.g. a birthday) please let me know. Knowing more about things your special person likes and cares about will help me make this artwork better for them.

I require lots of time for perfection, so notice is preferable 3 months before. However, I need to understand if there is a date you need the artwork for. Also, what your expectations are around the timing, so we can agree on a realistic timeframe. Finally. It depends on what artwork you want as to how long it can take. In general, larger pieces with high detail need more time (approx. 3 months or more), than small pieces with less detail (approx. 1 month or a week).

Please let me know up front if you have a specific budget, so I can plan on this and take it into account. Please note, I am willing to work out a payment plan that best suits your needs and requirements with you. It is important you are confident committing to a payment plan. Commissions can cost a lot of money, and therefore paying in full up front is not required. However, I will require deposit up front of 20%. Please note initial agreements are subject to change if the agreed scope of the work changes drastically.

Please note framing, postage and delivery are treated as additional costs. I will simply charge you for the bills I have to pay for them on top of the artwork itself.

Please take your time to look through my artworks on my website and follow me on social media. Commissions are a service dedicated to building a professional relationship with yourself and an artist, me. You will be part of my process and growth and get the privilege of sharing the journey of your artwork’s creation start to finish. If you know my work, and some aspects of my work you like, and you can give me examples from my previous work, I can work these elements into your commission. I am dedicated to creating the best artwork we will both share great happiness in once it’s done.
