Commissions & FAQ
In art, a commission is the hiring and payment for the creation of a custom piece of artwork.
On this page is a series of frequently asked questions about commissioning a piece of artwork done by me.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
♡ WHAT MEDIUMS DO YOU USE FOR YOUR ART WORK? ♡
I primarily use oil paint for paintings on canvas, and pencils,water color, and ink for art on bristol/multimedia paper. I also have much experience in working with acrylic paint. The medium used for commissions solely depends on what look my clients are looking for.
♡ HOW MUCH DOES ____ COST? ♡
Like most factors, commission prices depend on what the client is wanting. For inquiries, I need a descriptive detail and/or photos of what is to be painted, as well as a chosen size and medium. Below is a chart of estimated costs based on size and medium, including it being varnished and sealed.

To begin a commission, I ask that the client pays a non-refundable 15% of the agreed amount. This will allow me to purchase any materials needed for the piece and will assist in decreasing probability for flaked commissions.
♡ HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO FINISH THE PIECE? ♡
The length of time it takes to make the art depends, of course, on the size and what it is that I am creating. Being that I am a full time college student and employee elsewhere, I ask for a minimum of two weeks. It may take faster than that, but usually I will work on a piece for three-four weeks before I am content with the final product. This will be discussed in detail with the client.
♡ WHAT IF I DON'T LIKE THE WAY ___ LOOKS? ♡
If there is something specific about the commission that you do not like, I am more than happy to edit it! Any major changes that were not discussed and agreed upon in the beginning will may require an additional fee if a good portion of the art is already completed.
♡ HOW MUCH IS SHIPPING? ♡
Shipping is calculated after the piece is completely finished. I do not charge extra for packaging and shipping of the final piece myself; the price is a product of the exact cost of both the packaging and shipping used. It tends to be $10-$15.
The client will be asked to complete any final payments for the artwork BEFORE it is shipped.
