What Your Commission Includes
A commission at this level is not the purchase of a single image. It is a planned object, discussed, drawn, painted, reviewed, and delivered with care.
Private consultation, subject, purpose, location, scale, budget, and timeline discussed before any work begins
Composition planning, pose, clothing, lighting, background, room placement, and visual tone planned before painting
Reference direction, in-person sittings, artist-directed photography, or approved existing references reviewed for quality
Archival oil painting, hand-painted in oil using professional materials selected for permanence
Review stage, formal client review point before final delivery
Delivery planning, local delivery, insured shipment, or installation coordination planned for each commission
Care guidance, framing, lighting, varnish timing, and long-term care guidance provided with every painting
Payment terms
50% deposit secures the slot; balance via milestone payments tied to sketch approval and final review. 5% courtesy discount for clients who choose to pay in full at booking.
