Commission Inquiries
The number one question people want to know is, how much is this going to cost? There are several things that need to be taken into consideration when pricing a project.
-
Am I designing the piece, or do you have a photograph or a logo that you want me to reproduce?
-
What is the surface that I will be working on? Is is smooth, well primed sheetrock, or is it heavily textured and porous brick, for example.
-
How large is the surface area to be painted?
-
Is it interior or exterior?
All of these things factor into just how much time it will take to complete the work, the cost of the materials needed, and ultimately the total cost of the project.
If you would like to commission an artist for a project, whether it is a wall mural or a canvas, please read the information below and submit the contact form. We will reach out to you as soon as possible to discuss your ideas.
What you can expect:
-
Upon review of your request, Michelle will contact you to discuss your wants and will ask you for 3-5 CLEAR reference photos. If requested, a written estimate will be provided within approximately one week of your consultation. In general, a $500 design fee will be required before any sketches begin. A rough sketch will be presented to you via email or text for approval before any painting begins. No more than 2 revisions will be made to the sketch. If additional revisions are requested, they will be billed at a rate of $100 per revision.
-
A signed agreement and 50% deposit is required in order to secure your project on our calendar. Final payment is due upon completion of the piece, prior to shipping or immediately upon completion of the mural.
-
Canvas paintings will be created using professional quality acrylic paint on stretched gallery wrapped canvas. Final pieces will be presented unframed, unless otherwise agreed upon for an additional fee.
-
Canvases are available in all shapes and sizes. Michelle will discuss your options with you during your initial consultation.
Please tell us a little about what kind of painting you have in mind. Include details such as the subject matter, colors, size, etc. Be as detailed as possible and feel free to include a photo for reference.
