Commission Procedure

Initial Meeting:

During this time, we discuss the intent of the painting, size, composition and other considerations.  If the painting is to be completed posthumously, this is a time to view reference materials and discuss specifications.  Two hours is requested. 

*If the client has any time specifications, they are to be discussed during the initial meeting. 

A photo shoot is requested and may take place during the initial meeting if the client does not have photos that can be used as reference material.

Approval:

During this session, photos and/or sketches are approved by the client and the final painting will commence.  This meeting can be done in person or via email or phone.

Delivery and final meeting:

Delivery time of the finished painting will vary from just a few weeks to several months.  At the final meeting, the completed painting is presented.  If necessary, minor adjustments are discussed and completed.  Unless another meeting is needed, final payment is due at this time.
