Commissions & Prices

Placing a commission

  1. Contact me – See the Contact page.
  2. No obligation consultation – This can be face-to-face or virtual depending on location. We will discuss your requirements, take/review photographs and exchange ideas and options.
  3. Proposals – Where applicable, I will use image manipulation software to create a number of mock-up proposals to visualise options for the final composition. I can even combine multiple images together to create a ‘composite’ scene (see image below)
  4. Quotation – Once the final composition has been agreed along with any optional extras required a final quotation is supplied along with an estimated delivery date.
  5. Deposit – The customer pays a 25% deposit to confirm the order.
  6. Painting creation – Progress can be shared with the customer via photos and videos (although many customers prefer a surprise reveal at the end).
  7. Balance of payment – Photographs of the finished painting can be shared and the customer pays the remaining 75% balance.
  8. Delivery – A protective lacquer is added and the artwork is carefully packaged ready for delivery using a reliable tracked service.

Framing

Standard

Sides painted

Framed painting of a BMW 3 series E30 racing car at the Nurburgring nordschleife racetrack in Germany

Framed

Boxed canvas looks great unframed but some people do prefer the look with a frame.

A popular option is to leave the canvas unframed but to extend the paint to include the sides of the canvas. This occurs a small additional fee.

If a frame is preferred I can arrange framing at extra cost prior to delivery or you may prefer to use a local framer after delivery.

We can discuss options during the no-obligation initial consultation.
