Commissions
A place, a person, a pet, a wedding. The piece is made from what you bring her and stays her own painting.
What a commission is
You describe the subject and the wall it will live on, and send photographs. She paints it in acrylic on canvas, laid on thickly, high in key, on a pale ground.
How it runs
- A conversation
What the painting is of, roughly how large, and when it is needed.
- Reference
Photographs from you. For a person or an animal, several in good daylight, from more than one angle, at the height you actually see them.
- A sketch
The composition agreed before any paint is mixed.
- The painting
Acrylic on canvas, in her own hand, shown as it goes.
- Delivery
Collected, or packed and shipped.
Pet and portrait commissions
Animals and people are commissioned the same way.
The reference photographs matter more here than anywhere else: a clear, well-lit photograph taken at the animal’s own eye level gives her the face; a dark one taken from above gives her a shape.
By inquiry
Sizes, prices, the deposit, revisions and timing.
