Owning original artwork truly is an investment; both emotionally and financially. It is bringing home a new family member that can improve your sense of well-being and can make a space feel complete.
Commissioned artwork takes this feeling to the next level, as it is lovingly made just for you & your special space. It goes without saying that creating a custom piece of artwork takes a considerable amount of time and creative energy.
With that in mind, I have come up with a standard-size price list in order to help you decide whether or not a commissioned piece is right for you. If there is a specific size that you would like but don't see below, just ask! I'd be more than happy to work with you to find the perfect fit for your home.
THINGS TO CONSIDER
where will your artwork live? Where will it hang?
what size of canvas will suit this space best? (For a visual, try using painters' tape to measure canvas sizes directly on your wall!)
will the painting be hung vertically or horizontally?
will you want to frame it at a later date? If so, be sure to let me know so I can select an appropriate canvas.
if you'd prefer to have me take care of the framing, please let me know & we can discuss options that will suit the painting and your space.
take a look around the environment in which your painting will hang. What colours do you see? Is there a specific palette?
snap photos of the space. Send them to hello@alexmooregibsonart.com so I can make note of existing furniture, artwork, colour palette, etc.
what previous work of mine draws you in? Send me screenshots of these works of art so I can get a sense of your style & aesthetic!
Commissions take an enormous amount of time and energy. I pour my heart and soul into each piece. With that in mind, spots are limited. Please understand that I ask for a non-refundable 30% deposit in order to start the process.
Once this deposit has been received:
you will first be provided with a proposed palette;
then I will create 2-3 loose sketches to give you a sense of the direction I plan on taking (this is a great time for you to have a say in the creative direction - if you want one!);
2 formal opportunities for us to discuss your piece will be provided throughout the creation of your piece (either by email or telephone), which will give us a chance to make any adjustments if you require them.
Please note that, for whatever reason, if you need to walk away from your project - the last chance to do so will be during our second revision meeting - I reserve the right to keep the non-refundable deposit as well as the right to sell the finished product myself.
