Commission Art

If you see a piece you admire but is not quite what you were looking for, it is often possible to commission the artist to create something unique to fit your personal specifications for a similar price.

Personalised Art

Be it a family portrait, painting for your home, photograph of your partner or a bespoke piece for your interior, commissioning allows you to chose the subject matter, colours, style and dimensions of a piece. Commissioning a piece for yourself, or someone important to you, is a highly personal gift that can become a family heirloom or commemorate a special occasion. It also allows you to purchase the perfect piece for your home or workplace.

The Commissioning Process

We have an extensive collection of artists working in a diversity of mediums and styles. Whether you are commissioning a portrait of yourself, a member of your family, a friend, a pet, or on behalf of an organisation, we will consult with you and your chosen artist throughout the process to ensure your intended result is achieved.

Portraits can be created in a number of ways depending on your schedule and desires. For paintings or drawings;

  • The artist can work from an existing photograph
  • Photographs can be taken specifically for the artist to work from
  • Sittings can be arranged at your convenience for life drawing/ painting
  • Photography shoots can be held at a professional studio, in your home, or at an alternative location of your choosing.

We will always offer to arrange at least one meeting (more if required) between yourself and the chosen artists so that you can express your requirements directly to the artists and providing them with the opportunity to gain a greater understanding of the subject.

A deposit of 50 % is required to commence the commission. You will have viewings of the work ‘under construction’ throughou the commission's creation. At these times, you have the opportunity to offer input or request alterations. The final 50% payment is due upon completion.
