The
process for commissioning a painting is very easy.
Most
people who commission a painting have a general idea of the kind
of painting they would like. It may be a particular scene or species
they have seen, or a particular 'wildlife moment' they wish to capture.
If you would like a particular landscape incorporated into the painting,
a photo or two of the location may be useful. This can be scanned
and emailed to me, or posted.
I
will then discuss the size of painting you would like, and the particular
light or setting for the painting. Time of day and direction of
light might be important factors to discuss. Another important consideration
would be your preference for a Landscape format (horizontal proportions)
or Portrait (vertical proportions).
The
size of the painting will have a general effect on the cost, but
broadly speaking, an A4 size painting (the size of a typical sheet
of paper from a printer) would be 400-500 euro, A3 (twice the size
of an A4) would be around 900-1000 euro. We will agree costs at
the outset. This will include all post and packaging, as well as
the mount for the painting.
I
then will draw a pencil sketch of the painting, showing the proportions,
composition and most of the detail, with any relevant notes on overall
colour or mood. I can email or post it to you for your comments.
Once you have seen this, we can discuss any modifications.
I
will then complete the final painting.
The
initial stage (the pencil sketch) will usually take 2-3 weeks. The
second stage (the actual painting) will also take 2-3 weeks. This
timing is variable, but if you need a painting more quickly, I will
do all I can to accommodate the deadline.
So
feel free to call to discuss commissioning your painting.
