COMMISSIONS Price guide
Commissioning a work can be a daunting process where you fear that you will receive a piece that is not what you hoped for and waste time and money.
I hope to remove that worry by working with the client throughout the whole process.
I worked as a trusted and respected visualizer (an artist who creates drawings from someone elses ideas) for over 30 years, in London, producing work that forfilled the clients brief.
With this in mind I include with my art work commissions a full money back garentee if you are not completely satisfied with the final work.
PROCESS
As a visualizer I often worked from rough doodles given to me to try help explain a clients written brief. This experiance has helpped me to get a good feeling about what is required.
Initial brief.
After discussing what is required regarding subject, location and other details, for example if working from life or from photographs.
I will produce several layout proposals in black and white for your aproval.
Commencement of Painting.
As the work progresses I will supply 'work in progress' images for any comments and adjustments.
Final approval
Before the painting is signed and completed a final viewing will be required before delivery.
Delivery
Only when you are completely satisfied with the work will payment be required.
