'Thank you so much for the painting, it’s exactly what we wanted’ Mr & Mrs
C. Henley-on-Thames

 

 '......fantastic news, so glad I could help!' 

 

Completing a commission always gives me a massive sense of achievement.  The challenge and measure of commitment needed by both parties in creating a commission, makes the end result doubly fulfilling.  I am always delighted to have the opportunity to paint something personal and unique, and have the chance to get to know one of my clients better.  It's a special opportunity to discover what people really see in my paintings; it's difficult to explain how exciting this is to an artist, but, believe me, it is!

What is a commission?

 

A commission is the creation of a new idea based on the requirements of you, the commissioner. Its success relies upon the open and trusting relationship created and on the understanding of what is to be achieved.
 

Discussing and accepting the commission.
 

I like to take my time at the initial stage of the commission and discuss thoughts and ideas with you, taking notes as I go. These ideas will include basics such as where the painting is going i.e. home, office, gift etc., its size, the materials to be used, budget, timescale and delivery.  But most importantly and excitingly, I will discuss with you what the content of the commissioned work will be - perhaps it should include figures representing family members, dogs on a favourite beach, your preferred colours, time of day or time of year. Any information that you can provide in the way of photographs or a little personal background will help to achieve a unique and intimate piece of work.  

  

From studio to completion

 

A large painting normally takes me around 5 or 6 weeks to complete - I work on it in layers of thin, translucent paint, building to thicker opaque areas of colour.  Painting is a hugely enjoyable process for me, and painting a commission with the personal involvement required adds to this. When the painting is finished, I take a high quality digital image and send a large jpeg to you. Delivery, usually in person, is arranged and then, I hope, the painting finds itself a new home!
