commission
So you like what you see, but fancy something unique.
You may have a clear idea of what you would like.
Well, it all begins with a conversation.
So let's talk!
Getting a commission can be the most exciting process as it's not often we get the opportunity to have our creative input.
This input already starts out on a positive note as you are in the driving seat.
Price seems to be the main concern people have, so let me be transparent about this.
I have a fixed price list based on size.
B/W monochrome portrait A4 (21x 32cm) £80
Canvas 16 x 16" (40 x 40cm) £300
Boards 24 x 24" (61 x 61cm) £600
Canvas 40 x 40" (100 x 100cm) £1000
Other sizes are available and a time scale of 4weeks.
There will be free delivery throughout the UK and Ireland.
Step 1
It all starts with a conversation. I will ask you questions such as :
Who is this painting for?
Is it a gift or special occasion?
What size would you like the piece to be?
Do you have a budget?
Abstract pieces
Name 3 key colours it must have to suit the room it is going in?
Can you send a photo of the room it will be in?
What piece of art inspired you to request a commission?
Representational paintings
Can you send a minimum of 2 clear photographs?
An additional cost will be added if i have to get my own
photograph references (photo shoot)
Step 2
Our conversation will continue with my intentions for the piece and a quote of how much I will charge for the artwork.
I will request a deposit of 50% which will be requested through PayPal.
This will cover Art supplies needed to complete the piece.
Step3
The painting begins.
A timescale will be drafted up so you have a rough date of when to expect your painting.
Most painting will take no longer than 4 weeks.
Videos will be made of the process to share with friends and family.
Step 4
Mid way, photographs will be sent to show progress.
This is an opportunity to make any minor requests, and give feedback.
Step 5
Artwork is completed. Photographs are sent for your approval.
Final payment for the remaining 50% is to be paid.
This is the cost of the Artwork only.
Step 6
Varnish : matt, satin, gloss. I will recommend what I think best suits the Artwork.
Step 7
Optional Framing, I can arrange framing at an additional cost.
Step 8
Artwork will be shipped by a reliable courier.
Shipping will be an additional cost outside UK and Ireland.
Please note International shipping will have Taxes and Fees to pay,
please see your government website to find out more.
Commissions in Northern Ireland will receive their paintings directly from me.
Step 9
Hang your painting.
You may also receive a short video as a time-lapse of some of the stages in making up your piece. This is an excellent keep sake and also informs you of the process and materials, for when you are talking about the artwork to friends and family.
* I have never had anyone ever pull out from a commission mid way, however if your circumstances should change or our communication breaks down you will lose your deposit as it would cover my time and materials already spent.
It is important that this experience is an enjoyable one for us both. *

“I decided to commission a painting to mark the renovations of my house. Arlene listened to my ideas and took inspiration from photographs I provided her. She turned my vision in to a bespoke, original painting which I am delighted with. I would highly recommend Arlene’s work to anyone.”
